What a Russian Speaking Daycare looks like 

As an adult I want to stay in this daycare.

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

Most American day cares are open until 6:00-6:30 pm.

I’ve put my kids in several American daycares through the years and all of them included two warm meals and two snacks every day and stayed open until 5:30 or 6.

Daycare worker: “ma’am u have to be under ten to stay here” Me: but-

That’s more than I make in a month at my full time job 💀

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.

As an American I’ve never heard of a daycare nor being open till 5-6pm. I also worked in daycare where per government guidelines we had to cook breakfast and lunch plus provide atleast one snack a day.

"in America, kids slept on the FLOOR" Philipine daycare:yall sleep?

“A little pricey, around $2,600 a month” Girl that’s a damn mortgage

A New England daycares are open till 5:00 or 6:00 p.m. because if you work at 9:00 to 5:00 job and then you have to commute to pick up your child. You would never get there by 2:00 in the afternoon. I never heard of daycare closing that early.

As an Italian its the same, we got warm food, got beds and put our pajamas and you could get your kid at 4pm or even 6pm!

damn that’s more than my rent and bills

you had me until “2,600 a month” 💀

In Sweden you get that for 3% of the Households income 🙂

So as a person who has experienced American daycare’s I do know that yes we do sleep on the floor with a mattress and they provide sheets and blankets. However, they do have two options to bring your own food or they cook their own and I remember the food being really good and I always wished I could go back and have my food that I had during my daycare days & they do warm the food up but I also agree that it might not be the same in all locations.

My parents did this for me and my siblings but we still forgot how to speak Russian after this lol

That is literally a private school daycare in Russian.

I work in an american daycare. We are open from 630 am to 5:30 pm, and are given 3 meals (two hot meals, one snack) They do have nap mats on the floor, though. Most daycares don't have enough space to dedicate to a room just full of beds. Nap mats are much easier to store, and the classroom converted to a place for rest. :)

"2600 dollars a month" girl that's someone's salary

As an American I've never heard of a daycare closing at 2:00 p.m.

Most daycares I know of are open 6am-6pm.

I may not be Russian, and I may be too old. But one day I will go to that daycare.

I think the “daycares” that you say close at 2pm are actually preschools. Daycare normally stays open till at least 6 or later. And open at around 6-6:30 am.

I’ve never seen a daycare just stay open till 2:00 pm in America.

In my daycare they had tiny beds that would turn into closets when you didn’t use them and they were really comfy too It was also 100 dollars per month or less i don’t exactly remember and they taught you english since it was in romania where English isnt the first language children learn They provided 3/4 warm meals a day depending when you arrived and they made sure to make them allergy friendly for the sensetive kiddos

"Mom, can I learn Russian?!"

I am American and my mom is Romanian. My mom put me in Russian daycare so I can keep learning more Russian and now I know 4 different languages. I’m so thankful!

Imagine making enough money to send your kid to daycare but be homeless

Australian daycares are also like the Russian daycare exept instead of a whole bed they get a thick materess with sheets and blankets. Australian daycares are much cheeper though and some are starting to be free. ❤

"Its just a little pricey, 2600 dollars a month". - Ma'am that's more expensive than my monthly med school tuition...

Girl you lookin at the most expensive Russian daycare vs least expensive American daycare

She compared the most expensive Russian daycare to the cheapest American daycare

As a Brit, we don’t even get to nap in nursery

I grew up with "don't open the door"

For 2,600 a month, you can just buy your kids an apartment lmao

'2600' "oh thats less" "wait its not in my currency" *converts *almost faints

I work at a daycare that provides hot meals and snacks for the kids, but where I am it’s culturally appropriate to sleep on the floor

Oh my gosh I have watched this little video over and over and over again I love how sweet this little video is I love seeing daycares like this

I went from *"if I ever have children"* to *"this is why I'm not having children"*

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.

When i was little i went to the same exact type daycare with all the same stuff but it was in my language. IT WAS FREE

😅 2:00 p.m. is when normal school closes not daycare.... And most elementary schools don't end until 3.... Daycares usually stay open till 5:00 or 6:00..... And the one I used to work at served hot food I know I used to cook it

Translation: If your rich you can afford the good daycare.

I pay $600 a month for my daughter. They open from 6am to 6pm feed 2 hot meals and 2 snacks they speak Spanish and English 😊

In day cares in Serbia kids also have little beds to sleep in after lunch and they wear pyjamas. Freshly cooked, warm, healthy meals are mandatory. I was shocked when I moved to the UK to see the conditions deemed acceptable for children.

У нас в саду было так: В первое время иди в тругую часть через коридор, там где малые находятся, там были свободные места. А потом пришли спальные тумбы и работало так, ты выдвигаешь своё спальное место.

As a previous American daycare worker (sadly)…daycares close at 6pm…we had HOT food w veggies, water/juice/milk, we would have cold snacks, cots that were NOT on the floor, with their OWN blankets & pillows. Idk what daycare you went to but I wouldn’t put my children In that one either🤷🏽‍♀️

“It’s also a LITTLE bit more pricier” 2,600 just a little more pricey 😂 Edit:OMG I have never gotten this much likes I’m shocked😳🥹🫶

our daycare has warm food 4 times a day is open from 6:oo am to 6:30 pm and is much less pricier and they also provied snacks.

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.

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 love my job so much, and I think it’s amazing that this mom is able to provide that for her daughter.

Finnish daycares: Free and warm food 2-3 times a day Open from about 8am to 8 pm Sleeping on floors🥲 A lot of toys to play with and fun activities Going outside at least 2 times a day Cost: 0€ :)

In case anyone is wondering that’s around $31,200 a year.

As a child I just slept on the floors with my little jeans and t-shirt, they also fed us breakfast and lunch (maybe snack time?) and the foods were things like fruit, vegetables etc.

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.

2 pm??? I'm an American day care worker in Texas and in the past Louisiana. Most daycare here are open at 5am or 6am and close 6pm or 8pm. There are some daycare facilities that offer after care (for an extra cost) 6-11pm or overnight care. We serve them hot meals only, and they are fed 3 meals and are given 2 snacks. So a total of 5 separate eating times with breakfast being serve at 8am and dinner at 5pm.

My mom had a daycare for almost 20 years. She had lesson plans, made hot meals for them every day, and she was open 24/7. We did sleep on floor mats though, which really isn’t that uncomfortable, all the kids would be knocked out cold 😂. She did have cribs for the babies though. Good times.

🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷 In reality, the JAPANESE day care , is THE BEST ONE. 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷

I - an Austrian living in Vienna - sent my child to an English kindergarten (native speakers) for 1.5 years (age 1.5 to 3) and it cost me 600 Euros per month. Warm lunch and open until 5pm. Over 2k is just insane...

I went to an American daycare and we slept on cots, but they made us warm food and we didn't bring it ourselves 🤷‍♀️

"A Little bit pricier" lmao

I hated my daycare. (Context: I was around 12-13 when I went here, it was an after school camp kinda thing) So when it time for the others kids to nap around the building (it was a daycare for all ages, everyone in different rooms by age) They made me take a nap. I was the oldest.

I love that you did this!!!❤❤❤

I don't know of any American daycare that closes as early as 2pm

Lol i never wanted to be fluent in Russian so fast and turn 4 again all in the same breath 😂

family is british, but i was 4 when we moved to switzerland. just went to the local village school for 3 years before moving again. i was completely fluent for a 7 year old and had the same accent as my peers!

The daycare my brother's going: -from 1pm to 5pm (is enough for us) -1 meal around 3-4pm -they cook the food -no time for nap -around $100 payed in the beginning -$25 monthly (only for food) -no other payments.

It’s not about the language, if you pay $2600 an English speaking daycare it’ll be worth that price point as well💀

I'm from Canada and the daycares here are open from 7am to 6pm, they provide a full 4 hot meal in a day and we only pay $200.

Hi, as someone who used to attend something similar to a daycare, but it was just in someone's house, and the family who owned the house ran the thing, it was very nice. Due to there only being like 5 kids there, there was never usually any fighting over things like toys for example, and the owners cooked us meals. They brought out cots for nap time, so we didn't have to sleep on the bare floor.

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.

I worked at three daycares in the US. We were open from 7am until 6pm. We served a hot breakfast, a hot lunch, and three snacks. We taught a full curriculum of age appropriate skills and took field trips to museums and the zoo. The kids slept on cots with a fitted sheet, cozy blankets, and pillows. And it was more like $200 a week, so $800 a month.

“A little bit pricier” 😂💀

Don't open the door unless it's me - mom prbly

My mom is a day care teacher, she's the best daycare teacher I've seen but I wish the owners of the daycare would have a system similar to this since it looks so beneficial

POV : you’re interested until you hear the price

If you can afford it, giving your children the gift of language (especially when it's their mother tongue) is the most important thing you could do for them. I'm glad these sorts of places exist!

I work in an American daycare. Most are open until 6-6:30pm. We also give kids warm food for breakfast and lunch every day (at least where I work at). Lastly they do sleep on mats during nap time, however we also provide them with blankets and pillows for nap time too.

I used to go to a russian pre school and daycares when i was little! They are just as good as this daycare

I worked at an American daycare. I got my nutrition certification and every kid ate a warm healthy meal. We did have cots for the floor but they were nice and thick. Kids didn't change for nap time but they could take shoes off and any layers they were too warm in. They also had their own pillows and blankets that I took home every week and washed. I worked from 6am until every kid was picked up (around 5-5:30) five days a week and would even watch a couple in my house over the weekend for parents that worked weekends. It was one of the hardest jobs I had and was only paid $215 a week and watched 15 to 20 kids a day.

Nothing beats sleeping on the floor in a daycare. Your best childhood was made here.

Born and raised in California. The daycare I went to had hot food served to us, and we slept on mats on the floor. My daughter’s daycare also had hot food available and they also had sleeping mats. Her daycare was fairly cheap at $3500 a month.

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

My kids’ child care center was open 6:30-6:30. I don’t know of any day cares that are only open until 2p. They were provided with two hot meals/day plus a snack. They did nap on mats (with parent provided sheets/blankets) though.

That's about as close as you can get to Grandma's house. But nothing beats home with mom. ❤

I'm from Albania and i thought every day care in every country did this. This is how my day care worked as well ❤

as someone who works at a daycare in america, the only thing is we don’t change them out of PJ’s because the clothes are easily mixed up. that daycare is beautiful but the day care i’ve worked at has beds provides food, heats food when needed and are open from 8am to 6pm every week day. the kids are also grouped by ages so all the appropriate materials are provided

TWO THOUSAND SIX HUNDRED A MONTH!? JUST SO YOUR CHILD CAN SLEEP IN A DIFFERENT BED??? 💀

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

No, not little angels daycare bloomfield,Indiana. They’re open till 5:30, they make the food 3 times a day. But the beds are on the floor, and they don’t change

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

For $2600 per month, I would want a whole lot more than 4 meals and a bed for my child. Seriously that is very expensive.

Australia Day care is usually open 6:30am - 6:30 pm and a day is around $160-200 a day but then it is subsidies - (Government pays) for some of it. My day care serves 4 meals 1 is warm food and then 2 others are fruit and a snack. I work in a day care

As an American mom I don’t pay someone else to raise my kids. I do without so we can afford for me to stay home and raise my own children. I’m not a gestational surrogate. I am their MOM. Not simply a birth parent. Why have kids if you won’t raise them?

Girl I'be been sleeping directly on a carpet in kindergarten. Poland raised me up strong 💪🏻🤡 EDIT woa i said sth relatable

I don’t know what kind of daycares you were looking at in America, but my aunt ran one and they slept on lil beds with blankets, they didn’t change clothes. The kids had a warm breakfast and lunch and a healthy snack, and she closed @ 5:30pm.

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! Again, this is in my state, not sure about anyplace else. Her reasons are totally valid, just wanted to share what I’ve seen :)

I am a daycare kid, o went to daycare all of the time. They did have meals but, it was always something like beans or oatmeal. The extent of the snacks were small things like pretzels, goldfish, kiwis, etc. I loved that daycare so much ngl, the food was mid but the rest of the time was really fun!

2,600 a month girl that’s like how much I make in a month🤣😭
