“It’s just a little pricey, 2,600 dollars a month” - that’s a whole rent payment

[@DestinyTries]

More than the average rent where I'm at. Its usually around $600 to $900. As a matter of fact, that $2600 is more than my college tuition (I have a grant however I'm sure its around $2400 w/o) and my sister's private school tuition😭.

[@rainydaylady6596]

I don't know where some of you live, but $2,600 in USD is less than many apartments cost in Portland, Oregon. One of the big reasons we have so many homeless folks here. The Russian day care sounds incredible, but my son's day care was open until 6:00pm unless you wanted to pay a dollar a minute after 6.

[@user-hz7hb2yr3s]

Russian daycare costs 40-50$ per month from 7 a.m. to 7p.m.

[@HatakeMoriko]

As an American daycare employee, we are required to provide at least 2 meals and 1 snack a day with an option to provide an extra snack. (These are all guidelines provided by government agencies.) All food provided must have certain components. The 2 meals are hot meals. Families who want to send their child to school with food, we also heat up their meals if they so desire. I'm not sure where you're getting your information. Children do nap on the floor because of limited amount of space and mats are space saving and easier to clean. We are also open 10 hours a day 5 days a week from 8:00AM to 6:00PM.

From what I have seen, it depends. I have seen daycares in Croatia that have a separate room with beds. I have seen daycares where kids sleep in the same room but with moveable beds (they are usually atacked on top of one another during the day and put in empty spaces during nap time. I have seen daycares where kids slept on matrasses on the floor. The cutest one I have seen was one where kids had little sleeping basket cots. What is a constant, however, is that the daycare provides all the food and the kids change into and out of pijamas for nap time. They even brush teeth before a nap.

Childcare centers in America are typically open for 12 hours and only offer after school for school aged students who don’t get there until about 2:30 or 3:30 depending on public school hours. The ones I’ve worked for were either open 6am to 6pm or 6:30 am to 6:30pm. Pricing depends on age and the teacher to child ratio required by the state. The lower the ratio the higher the price because I have to hire more teachers for that room. We always served two hot meals (breakfast and lunch) as well as a snack that usually wasn’t hot but sometimes was. Our meal time was family style, where we all sat at the tables and passed the food around. We only asked parents to provide a spare change of clothes in case of bathroom accidents or if they got very dirty outside. We didn’t ask them to provide anything else. Yes they slept on cots on the floor because every room was a classroom and there were not any extra rooms to make into bedrooms. Cots can be stacked in the corner of a room and ours even had attachments to make the sides educational such as blackboard or magnetic board attachments. We also had about 150 kids in our building so we had to maximize every inch of our classrooms.

My mom used to have a daycare that would be open until the parents could come to pick up their kids, she also made really good food for the kids. She would make breakfast and lunch for the kids, and most of the time my mom would have them change for bed but they still slept in cots.

[@Cynnas]

I was living and working in Silcon Valley (she's posted things from the town) and had two kids in "American daycare" for a time. They provided food and the kids napped in cots and it was open until 6.30. "America day care" varies tremendously depending on how much you can afford to pay. I imagine her Russian day care in Silicon Valley was equivalent to what we were paying. It was a lot but very much worth the care provided.

[@victoriaboster1177]

Yes I agree. I have had two children in higher -quality daycare in the last 5-7 years in the SF Bay Area and they did not nap on the floor (!), are multiple warm meals that were included in the cost and enjoyed many other perks. The fees ranged from about 2500. to 3000. dependent upon the number of days/length per month. I would definitely say she is biased toward Russian care, but it seems rather harmless and well meaning. I might be biased toward an American daycare if I could find one if I relocated to Russia!

In the daycare, where I worked before I taught preschool, it takes children from 6 weeks to 12 years old, is open from 6 a.m. to 6:30 p.m., feeds children warm meals, breakfast from 9-9:30 a.m., lunch from 12-12:30 p.m., and snack from 3-3:30 p.m. Children would typically go home by 6, with maybe 1 or 2 left at the end while the last daycare teacher vacuumed, mopped, and tidied up in the last half hour. Rest time was on cots/mats about 2 or 3 inches off of the floor, and the children had sheets on the mats and blankets they brought from home. We also had storytime, art, and outside time (weather permitting), or gym time when it snowed. We also had one Spanish speaking teacher for children in the daycare who spoke Spanish, a commonly spoken language where I live in the southwestern U.S. It is also an income-based daycare, so the price parents pay is based on their income. I had my daughter there when I worked there when she was 4 years old, in preschool for 3 & 1/2 hours, and at the daycare for 5 & 1/2 hours, 4 days a week, and in the daycare 9 hours on Fridays. Based on my income, which was about $20,000 a year at the time, and with my employee discount, it cost about $400 a month. We have a preschool within the same building, which is where I teach now and teach some of the children who go to the daycare in my preschool class.

I work at a Japanese/English bilingual daycare. A lot of the kids are biracial, some aren’t even Japanese, but the idea is to raise the kids in an environment where they can learn both languages and the parents can have them still participate in Japanese holidays and traditions in school. I am white, and knew almost no Japanese but started learning when I got the job so I could communicate with my students better. I love the language and now am learning to speak it. I can read Hiragana and it is so rewarding to have small exchanges with the littles and to be able to read them books.

I’ve worked in daycare. Ours was open as early as 7:30am to 5:30pm (it’s on a college campus so the daycare is mostly for faculty to have complementary childcare as a part of their contract so most parents are very close by). That picture of naptime is NOT kids on the floor, they are on cots that are 1) easy to stack onto a movable pallet 2) take maybe 10 minutes to get bedsheets and blankets on 3) are very light and you can set them up together in groups which helps a caretaker to sit in the space between the cots so they can pat the children on the back to sleep. And no the kids don’t mind still being in their clothes, and most fall asleep within a few minutes. As for the food yes you the parent have to send lunch and snacks with your child. The place I worked has a microwave in each room but heating food for twelve toddlers takes a while, and all we had for extra food was goldfish and animal crackers which was fine for snacks but there’s big cause for concern if a child is sent without a lunch.

We had circle time twice a day, enrichment activities that rotated, playground exercise, etc. Naptime was on cots that weren't touching the floor, and each child could bring their own blankets/pillows/plushie, though we didn't change into pajamas since most American children relate pajamas with night time.

Okay, I worked preschool for 8 years on the east coast in USA. $2,600/month depending on where you live is a little pricy but definitely not unheard of, nor uncommon, as most centers charge hundreds of dollars a week, typically determined by age group. Our centers usually have kitchens and will provide meals, however it’s a parents option to opt for packed meals on specific days (or everyday) to suit dietary restrictions or to preferences. Packed lunches usually aren’t reheated, but we don’t deprive kids of warm food either. This is because we have to serve food at 140° and can’t guarantee the microwave won’t overheat the food and can cause burn injuries. Our kids sleep on low cots that are close to the floor but not directly touching it, but I think they should have beds like the ones in this video!

[@regariente]

[@margaritamalyseva4931]

Beds warm food bilingual 🤷🏼‍♀️

[@sylviaoloyede803]

This is so true! I once worked in a Russian daycare

[@Xx_Weird_Kid_xX]

In our county daycare is free (I live in Hungary) and the kids get free warm food 3 times a day:)

[@eshwaryat8495]

That is more than my college tuition fees for 3 years-

What kind of cheap college are you going to? 💀

[@XmaniXi]

What college u in 😭

[@eshwaryat8495]

@@V78_ Delhi University, and it's one of the most reputed university here

[@boop9430]

bruh my tuition is $6000 usd per semester and that’s considered cheap

[@gabrielfelizp4520]

I pay around 1,300$ USD per semester here in Dominican Republic and my college it’s the 2nd most expensive in the city 🤣 My whole 4 year tuition it’s around 10k USD I believe that’s why most Americans study here instead

[@13thCenturyGhost]

idk what “most” american daycares are being discussed but the one down my street is open till 7pm (or you can pay a little extra if you’re picking them up after 7), they get hot meals and snacks through out the day, and they have a separate napping room with cots and blankets/pillows for each cot

[@AdrianaHernandez-ux7te]

Exactly I dont think it's right to say 'most American daycares" when she is probably talking about a couple daycares just in her area most of the stuff she said I've never heard of

[@fisaldev3102]

maybe the ones in her state

[@itscheyenne9203]

Daycare worker here and I can say that not all American daycares close at 2pm. The one I work at opens at 6:30am-7am closes at 6pm and we provide hot breakfast and lunch but our kids prefer cereal everyday. Our kids sleep on cots and mats with sheets and blankets the babies sleep in cribs. I don't get changing into pajamas for a nap. Our kids sleep from 12-3.

[@itscheyenne9203]

And parents can bring food for their kids and we heat it up in the microwave even infant bottles we heat up everyday. What daycare did you send your kids to because that's not a good daycare at all.

[@GabiJai_xx]

Just in case anyone is wondering it’s about £31200 a year

[@ohifonlyx33]

Daycare worker here. We ask parents to bring lunch because of many different dietary needs (allergies especially). But we definitely DO warm up foods that need it. And we provided 2 snacks (things like cereal or fruit). I've never seen a center close earlier than 3 pm which is super weird, since the daycare I worked at for a year closed at six.

[@daiziemaningding5640]

lol frr idk what she talkin about

[@denishapayne9245]

Yeah I've personally never heard of a daycare closing before 5 or 6!? Im not sure where that stat came from lol

[@UrMom-vm8yv]

Exactly like what she talkin bout

[@sabrinabehrens9198]

Another daycare worker here, we were open 6-6 and offered 3 hot meals and 2 snacks. I don't know where she got her research from but it is way off.

[@taahiramcgee]

If she wants her kid to go to a Russian daycare fine. Don't lie on us though.

[@sylviailg2867]

Then there's Germany, where you don't even have to pay for daycare....

[@Moon-kw8wu]

Not true. It depends on each province.

[@crazy8278]

In Russia you don't have to pay too. She's paying because this daycare isn't in Russia.

[@yellopechen]

@@crazy8278 в государственные дет сады приличная такая очередь, так что много кто всё-таки платит. не 2600 долларов, конечно, но все же

[@nici5451]

I"m a German living in Germany, raised two kids and never (!) heard that there is kindergarten or daycare for free. Maybe your daycare belongs to a company and they offer it for their employees? Edit: I now know there are some regions where it's free, but we live in Baden-Württemberg and there you have to pay...

[@oOIIIMIIIOo]

​@@nici5451 Meanwhile some Kitas are for free.
