As an adult I want to stay in this daycare.
Me too 🥺
Same, I'm so short I'd fit on those beds. My weight tho...145... probably too much lol 😂

Lmao SAME. Ill even learn Russian. Just let me staaay
@@sekichdawn3913 same, give me my cartoon jammies now, pls
“It’s just a little pricey, 2,600 dollars a month”
- that’s a whole rent payment
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😭.
That was more than twice apartment rent 💀💀
I don't know where some of you live, but $2,600 in USD is less than many apartments cost in Portland, Oregon. One of the big reasons we have so many homeless folks here. The Russian day care sounds incredible, but my son's day care was open until 6:00pm unless you wanted to pay a dollar a minute after 6.
Babe that's a mortgage
That's more than a large percentage of the population makes in a year.
Most American day cares are open until 6:00-6:30 pm.
And most daycares/ preschools are required depending on state laws to have nutritious meals warm or cold prepared by kitchen staff.
The research presented in this video is very skewed and flawed.
Russian daycare costs 40-50$ per month from 7 a.m. to 7p.m.
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-
*scribbles out the year I was born in on a copy of my birth certificate and writes 2021* but I'm 1 year old I'm young enough says as I show them the copy of my birth certificate
Yoooo Nickel Intelligent is that you
🤣🤣🤣
But there's beds not being used when the kids are awake!
Im 8 is that good?
"2600 dollars a month" girl that's someone's salary
Yep thats why most moms work. To pay for daycare 😅
@@MPE-ot5eo if thats why they work its better to be a stay at home parent. Itd probably be cheaper because 2600 is ALOT of money
@@anahisa4496 to be fair you can only spend so much time with a child until it becomes annoying or exhausting yeah they are the parent and are responsible but having that time off is very necessary
$2600 is the reason why the daycare cooks food and have beds available.
@@anahisa4496 Single parents is what she meant to say
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.
I think it depends on your day care because that may be the case for yours but they are all different. 👍
Ya well, lots of daycares don't follow requirements. Or they'll temporary fix them and then problems are back
Some daycare in the US will specifically say food is not heated up excluding infants bottles.
Yes! I worked in day care and i was like??? Since when! More than half the things she is saying is wrong… and why would you want your kids to change into pajamas in the middle of the day for a nap… and then change back 🥴
@ummkulthummukhlis8698 that was my thought too. It's a nap. Not bedtime.
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.
you had me until “2,600 a month” 💀
That is a abserd amount of money.
@@remiuii not rlly when you get such service and if you have dual income it basically the same that you would pay for school.
@@EMMA-nu8ci
People from Finland: What?! You have to pay for school?!!
That was EXACTLY what I was going to write. 👍🏾
@@EMMA-nu8ci that service is default in Russia, but we just queue for kindergarten
That’s more than I make in a month at my full time job 💀
Same (Germany). Not a bad job either!
I make over $20 an hour and that’s about what I bring home. I can’t imagine paying that for childcare.
it’s more than my rent 😭
But it’s still average for childcare in a America. So I think that points out the problem clearly.
That's why I sooooo glad my kids are grown and not in a rush to be a grandmother!!
A New England daycares are open till 5:00 or 6:00 p.m. because if you work at 9:00 to 5:00 job and then you have to commute to pick up your child. You would never get there by 2:00 in the afternoon. I never heard of daycare closing that early.
They don't unless it's advertised as a half day preschool.
I've never heard of that either. I don't know how you would be in business if you didn't offer service for the work day hours.
As an Italian its the same, we got warm food, got beds and put our pajamas and you could get your kid at 4pm or even 6pm!
Most daycare in the US go to around 6. And many provide meals. I've never heard of a daycare closing at 2.
Yep, it’s the same in Spain. But 2,600$???? America is a scam. We pay around 400€ for a really good daycare
Maybe try traveling outside Europe once in a while?
@@92shanniewhy does her comment have to do with non european countries?! 😂😂
Who cares about non european countries?!
We have warm lunches for kids too 🤦🏽♀️ she pulled that out her butt kids don’t need to change for a nap
“A little pricey, around $2,600 a month”
Girl that’s a damn mortgage
That's TWICE my mortgage 🤣
in my country that is like 3 month salary
I can pay 2 months mortgage and have some left over for utilities with 2600
In England it’s £120+ a day 😅
Oh hell yeah
damn that’s more than my rent and bills
Ya pretty sure all the nice things at the daycare have more to do with cost than being Russian.
Mine too but it sure looks nice!
More than my mum's salary too rip
Yeah. Exactly 🙄🤦🏻♀️
That's more than I *make* 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.
"in America, kids slept on the FLOOR"
Philipine daycare:yall sleep?
What kind of daycare you in and are you sure that's not nursery/kindergarden?
@@bleep4288 its true, as a filipino i can confirm we do not sleep in daycares.
I never slept as a kid when we had to take naps, do kids really need those or was I just too restless to sleep during the day lol
We had daycares? 😳 lmao jk i just remember sitting and learning in a classroom already and occasionally play
@@kitcat2449 tru, as a kid even if i had no choice i just hated naps, maybe because i would have felt guilty after waking up and losing so much time, but thats just me
That is literally a private school daycare in Russian.
I know- this lady is all about “immigrant living in America” as a rich Russian living in America. Like I have heard Russians that are not wealthy do not even have toilets. So I think she is just making stuff up as a wealthy naive lady in California.
expect she is in the US
in spain we have exactly the same. and parents don't have to bring their food. and we pay around 100€ or 300€. Not 2.600! that's so insane
In Canada I paid between $570-680 a week for my sons pre school & it was the cheapest I could find 😬
Also it was above a bar & run by a lovely East Asian family who didn’t fully speak English 🙈 I paid over 500$ a week for my son to bring home brown school paper towels covered with bingo dabber dots. That was the extent of their art program.. but its ok, everything is ok 😐😫😐
@@MissEddieBlueKawaiiKrafts it's insane, Why did you send him there, in Canada everyone has to go to the daycare before school ?
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. :)
Imagine making enough money to send your kid to daycare but be homeless
😂😭
that's kinda sad tbh
Basically if you don't own your home, you're months away from homeless if the landlord wants you out. (The law requires landlords give you 90 days notice, and you also let them know in 90, but you can move in 30.)
How is she homeless?
@@fini8874 i think theyre saying 2,600 is how much some people pay for rent, so those people could technically pay to send their kids to this daycare, but then they’d have no money for rent and be homeless lol (she’s fortunate she can do both!)
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!
That’s so cool! I’m Romanian and this daycare is exactly like the one I went to🥲 so u can quote on quote say that u went to daycare like a Romanian :)
Wow . That's amazing , What languages do you speak? If I may ask ofcourse
Lemme guess: English, Romanian, Russian and Spanish or French? :)
That's really cool! I'm also Romanian
I was born in Romania but my parents are from Somalia and I left when I was 21 days old so I don't remember much but I really want to learn about Romanian culture but I've never had the motivation to learn Romanian on duolingo
Most daycares I know of are open 6am-6pm.
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
As an American I've never heard of a daycare closing at 2:00 p.m.
Where I live there's a choice between all day daycare or half day (12pm)
All the child care centers I’ve worked for typically close 6-6:30
Proof she's just babbling BS.
The day care my kids went to in Biddeford Maine closed at 2
@@lunalu552 Or proof the ones near her home close at 2pm lmfao
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 😊

"Its just a little pricey, 2600 dollars a month".
- Ma'am that's more expensive than my monthly med school tuition...
"Mom, can I learn Russian?!"
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.
Thats what I was thinking too I open at 7am and close at 5:30 I've never heard of anyone closing at 2
I have never heard of a daycare closing at 2. The whole point of daycare is to have a place to take your child(ren) while you are at work! She didn't do very good research on American daycare. Oh & I have never had to pack food for my kids. The only kids that have to "pack" food are ones with food allergies and would bring their own milk or bread & pasta.
I work at a preschool. Closes at 6pm
Exactly
For real, I would regularly stay until 7p at daycare when I was a kid. RIP my Dad's bank account :(
Girl you lookin at the most expensive Russian daycare vs least expensive American daycare
Exactly lmao
Ikrrr
Riiiiight
Fr tho!
She’s doing this for attention. I’ve never had to bring my kids food and they close at 8
As a Brit, we don’t even get to nap in nursery
As a German, we still slept on the floor 😂😂😂
My 2 boys went to day care . They didn't get changed to sleep but had beds in there own areas
We did have to pack food though.
This was in England but different day cares have different rules
As an Indian... My home is my daycare
I may not be Russian, and I may be too old. But one day I will go to that daycare.
My parents did this for me and my siblings but we still forgot how to speak Russian after this lol
It needs to be consistent, otherwise children forget their native language
@@purplelucrezia we didn’t really forget we just don’t know it as well
Ok so my great grandmother is from Germany and uses German around us (or did, we unfortunately haven't seen her in a while, we still do contact her when we think about it) and I thought I forgot but the amount I remembered is insane. I watch videos in German sometimes and can usually understand them if they don't speak too quickly
@@elizabethsmith955 same but when I can only understand when they speak slower
I have to study Russian at school. Where I lived, there was more Russians than our people. The streets were full of Russians and I never heard anyone speak my language. I just wish they would all go back to their amazing country and stay there for the rest of their lives. I can't even bare to hear that language. It's getting on my nerves.
Translation: If your rich you can afford the good daycare.
💯 😢
And it'd so impressive since she's an immigrant. Alot of immigrants I know don't live in the same condition as her
No one is rich! You just have money
@@Heyyitsbrookieyeah a lot of money! 😂 the whole point "rich"
Hell you could even afford nannies
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. ❤
Sounds like actual American day cares. They get a sleep matress and sheets, and never close that early, usually around 6. Many of them provide food.
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
For 2,600 a month, you can just buy your kids an apartment lmao
I can have a apartment in the Upper East Side in NY for 2600
And a babysitter lol
Ikr!!!!!
I assume we have to comprehend that there are wealthy human beings out there lol🤗
@@WanjaMaggy4 and you need to understand there are not wealthy beings to
“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😳🥹🫶
@@cb.1212 according to google, the average cost of daycare in America is 1230 dollars, definitely less than what they’re paying.
@@cb.1212 in my area the rate is about 1400 full time
I worked at a private Christian daycare once that charged $300 a week per kid, $400 for infants. (Also only paid their staff $8/hr 🙃) So if you have 2 kids going to that daycare it's around the same price at this one.
🤣🤣
I was quoted $600 a week which is roughly $2,400 a month for daycare for my child. With all the downsides of an american daycare. Yea. I’d rather pay the $200 extra and be happy that my child is well taking care of.
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.
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.
It definitely depends on where you are in the UK, we have some amazing nurseries but in poorer areas, they aren't so good
@@doraspoljar697 brushing your teeth after lunch is so outdated and already long proven, that it’s bad to brush your teeth to often
@DasTamii 3 times a day is not too often. Especially for kids who don't know how to brush that well.
@@doraspoljar697 that’s not true and of course at that age parents have to still help brushing their teeth
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?
She compared the most expensive Russian daycare to the cheapest American daycare
Not really
She kind of just compared one Russian daycare to one American one there are many daycares in America that offer the same services
Yea it’s kinda disrespectful
Fr
You are Yemeni Nice to meet you lol:)
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🤷🏽♀️
I was confused because my kids’ daycare ended at 6 and they had hot food that was really delicious. I would pay for their red vegetable curry. I had to bring my own blanket and sheets and they didn’t sleep on the floor at all.
This is just her experience. My kids had warm food, great care, taught at a grade above their level. They slept on cots but had their own pillows and blankets but they were washed at the school every week. Never had to pack them a lunch. It was a blessing with the best teachers. 🙂
Yeah I think the op should not generalise all daycares like this
I agree idk where she’s getting her info from
I agree. As former day care worker her information does NOT match. Everything she says is not true about the American day care.
I grew up with "don't open the door"
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’ve never seen a daycare just stay open till 2:00 pm in America.
They do it to make you pay for their after-school program.
Right. They’re open from 6am to at least 3p-4p. Then there’s aftercare till at least 6p at all the centers near me (Philadelphia pa) which is about $75 a week additionally if you chose aftercare.
Fr think she was talking about preschool not daycare
I know! Every daycare in our city is open until at least 6pm, and some later.
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.
I went from *"if I ever have children"* to *"this is why I'm not having children"*
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Samee
Good choice 😂
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.
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.
It’s not about the language, if you pay $2600 an English speaking daycare it’ll be worth that price point as well💀
Let’s be honest, if you are buying 2.6k for an English speaking day care it would be nicer because they don’t have to hire people who speak one specific language
Nope worked at a daycare and the price you pay is NOT worth the care they get. Little to no training for most of the “teachers” who get paid LESS THAN MINIMUM WAGE and your kid is getting beat on other kids who aren’t disciplined and don’t count on them getting care for that bc at least at the one I worked at, ice packs were not allowed to be given unless there was a bruise already there.
no it wont ive been to plenty in California and the price point doesnt change anything but the location
Omg that's 5 months of mortgage for us. Such a dope daycare and it's very nice you can afford it. ♡ Most importantly it's great you found a place where you feel your kids are safe while you're at work.
So true.. I guess she didn’t research enough on American daycare. My kids american daycare feeds 4x a day (including snacks) and they have kitchen at the facility. Don’t make it sound like this is a culture or language thing. It comes down to how much you pay for.
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.
Strange they’d hire you without you knowing Japanese.
@@reflectionsinthebible3579I mean it is a japanese/English bilingual daycare
@@reflectionsinthebible3579 could be an international daycare in Japan , I once was in one before.
THATS SO COOL
@@reflectionsinthebible3579 how..? It’s a bilingual school
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 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.
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!
I used to work in 2 daycare's you are correct they stay open until 6pm and the children sleep on cots. In America
In case anyone is wondering that’s around $31,200 a year.
Thats literally the price of my car
A days work for some people
That’s also almost $87 a day…
My college tuition wasn't that pricey 😭
Broo, I don't make that much in a year 💀
😅 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
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.
Finnish daycares:
Free and warm food 2-3 times a day
Open from about 8am to 8 pm

A lot of toys to play with and fun activities
Going outside at least 2 times a day

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.
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 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.
Exactly! Never known any daycare that close at 2
That 2pm daycare doesn't exist.
I also have never heard of a daycare closing at 2 PM
Thank you!! Someone said it lol where is she located 🤣
Her American Daycare “facts” are incorrect. Most stay open to six, kids have their own nap blankets, eat warm meals and tons of fun!
I can’t imagine the child to daycare worker ratio to change the children in and out of their clothes for nap time.
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.
I agree lol we in fact did not care that we slept on little army cots that hovered a inch above the floor an sometimes regular fold out mats 😂. Daycare in the 90s was ROUGH.
Yes the cots aren't bad 🤷♂️🙂 kids aren't even totally on the floor, usually they're suspended a bit like a hammock.
Listen, if having cots allows my daycare to charge less than 2600/ month, I can let it slide 😭☝️🤔
I 100% agree with you on the food 👀☝️🤝🤝 for reference, what portion of one's income does the same type of care cost in Russia ? Is it still expensive 🤷♂️🤔
This woman is the snottiest CZcamsr I've seen. Insufferable. Makes generalizations from micro cross-sections. Btw- who's ever heard of a day care that closes at 2pm. She must be ignorant that she might be referring to a pre-school.
Why torture herself in Silicon Valley when her home is so superior?
24/7 daycares are impossible to find now. Parents can only works 9 to 5 with daycare hours these days and it really sucks.
My mom too!
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 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.
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!
Rly? Most important? 😂
@@tadeja7610 Yes. Native proficiency in any extra language grants a child a whole new world of opportunities, wisdom, traditions, culture, and knowledge. It is especially true when the language is from the top-10 of the most common languages on Earth.
@Unknown as someone who didn't learn their fathers language, yes! It's so frustrating to learn it as an adult it's so much better to learn as a kid😭
@@tadeja7610 absolutely! As someone who doesn't live in my native country, I am so grateful my mom and dad put in the effort to teach me and my sis our language. I can communicate with my relatives freely whenever we visit them in summer. I have classmates who are of the same culture, but don't speak the language and they say they don't enjoy visiting their relatives, because they don't understand anything anyway.
Also, another language gives you one more perspective on life. There are so many untranslatable sayings that have stuck with me and shaped who I am as a person
@@tadeja7610as someone who let herself get bullied out of speaking her mother tongue, not being fluent yet being raised in its culture is one of the most emotionally and mentally hurtful thing anyone can go through. It’s like you don’t belong anywhere anymore, and it’s been proven that it’s harder to relearn the language as an adult.
So yes, it’s the most important that children keep in an area that speaks their mother tongue.
I went to an American daycare and we slept on cots, but they made us warm food and we didn't bring it ourselves 🤷♀️
Yep. Both my kids went to daycare where they slept on cots and the daycare provided hot meals and snacks every day.
Dang y’all went to some nice daycares
Yeah i know I've seen some daycares that open to 2pm but they are far and few in between. And the ones I've sent my daughter to was open from 7am to 6pm
Yeah, I was going to say. I slept on cots and had warm food. I don’t think she knows what she’s talking about.
I was one of those daycare kids as well. But, also there are fancy daycare’s in America too. This was so skewed

@@Otte74 Do you support the idea of taxes going toward daycare cost? I personally think it's really helpful for families but I was curious from a German's perspective on that
It’s literally the same price as American daycare depending on age of child 🤣 in MD, newborn to toddlers cost about $500/week.
My mom's daycare was $400/month and she had everything the Russian one had except for beds and, of course, Russian. We had mats and we got to pick out our own colors

TWO THOUSAND SIX HUNDRED A MONTH!? JUST SO YOUR CHILD CAN SLEEP IN A DIFFERENT BED??? 💀
NAUR CUZ FOR THAT I WOUKD EXPECT THIS AND MORE
LMAO 💀💀
You know how much most day cares are?? That’s good 😂
in Russia it costs 62$ per month
Beds warm food bilingual 🤷🏼♀️
Lol i never wanted to be fluent in Russian so fast and turn 4 again all in the same breath 😂
Mood. I wanted to comment in Russian and I probably could, but not as well as in English. Also, this daycare seems so cozy and wholesome!!
Это забавно, но не думайте, что вы можете обратить возраст вспять.
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.
Let me clarify a few things here: Kids at American daycare don't sleep on the "floor" - they sleep on a cot. Majority American daycare are closed at 6:00pm not 2:00pm. And every American daycare center have their own food menu that they cook and serve for the kids....Kids get breakfast, lunch and snack!
Nothing beats sleeping on the floor in a daycare. Your best childhood was made here.
totally
I still remember trying to whisper to my friends without getting caught
I remember we didn’t have to sleep if we wanted too. But my mother said I had too. Guess who stayed up anyways cause hey, more play time! And guess who regrets it now? Me.
exactly... 💯
@@LocalTiredArtist why exactly do you regret it... thank you 😊
I don't know of any American daycare that closes as early as 2pm
Yeah no, I’ve worked at several and the earliest closing time was 5pm
Same here! This woman always does this thing though where she just loves to bash American culture as if America is sooo bad even though she literally fled her home country to come and live here😂😂
Right. I know a few daycares in my city that do overnight
@@jayzayproductions5454 people come bcz theyre forced to, family consequences, job opportunities doesn't mean them as well as Americans can't complain nor criticize the country and its system just look at that healthcare sys, if there's no complain there's no progress
She must be confused with Pre-school closing at 2pm.
I stayed in Russia for three months for work and I can confirm they had so much variety of food with such good quality. They care you are well fed from morning until evening. I loved that their bars provided quality food all night. I miss it 😢
Many 2nd gen immigrants feel disconnected to their cultures, so I think sending kids to daycare in their home languages is a great way to start strong
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.
It’s also in Silicon Valley in California, so that’s probably part of it
When she has the second kid she will either be giving up work or sending them both to somewhere a lot cheaper!
@@cyflym11 wtf was the point of your slightly incelscious comment
🤷🏼♂️ not for poor people like you. 86 dollars a day for home cooked food and childcare is cheap asf.
@@cyflym11 She has 2. But she loves expensive things. She probably would send them to an American daycare if it was more expensive than the Russian.
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.
Where was it?
@@MrNikitir Midwest US
Thank you, came here to say this. We always warmed food up, if needed. Our kids slept in cots or cribs, depending on age. This video is not very well researched IMO.
Exactly! My site is open 630-6, we give the option of purchasing meals or bringing from home (can be heated if required) but we provide 2 healthy snacks. Babies are in cribs until 6m then shifted to playpens and 1-3sleep on cots and 4 through k on mats (not required to nap at the older ages). Most expensive classroom is infants and the price goes down as they get older. We also have music instructors and a gym teacher that comes once a week and an optional diaper and wipe program for 8.50 a week from infant to 2yrs. The 3-k classes go on trips (zoo, museums, crayons factory) and we get visited by a magician a few times a year (specific holidays and summer) and a petting zoo comes to visit all classes. We’re currently anticipating our annual Santa visit and just had our thanksgiving family potluck (parents provide the sides and we supply the turkey and desserts). We are on the east coast
Dang the cheapest daycare I can find south Texas is $1500 a month
I work at an American daycare we provide a warm breakfast and lunch then we also provide snack and sometimes another snack if needed and I work 7am to 6pm open five days a week this is most daycares in America
My nephew lives in the small village in Russia and goes to free kindergarten. Kids sleep there in beds, have 4 times meals and receive some studies like reading, writing, drawing, some art, math, sports, dancing, singing… this is the best legacy left from the Soviet Union at least in our village 😅
POV : you’re interested until you hear the price
Lol true
I've used daycares with similar features and less than half the cost. Based on her username, she's in an area with overall high CoL, so of course daycare is exorbitant. Move away from Silicon Valley, and the same kind of care will be provided for far less (still kinda expensive, but not ludicrous).
I was going too say it was cheap until currencies came into the chat
If she is making anything less than 32k, not counting tax rate, so really something more like 50k, there is no reason to send the kid to daycare so she can work, instead of being a stay at home mom, because the daycare's sole point is to let you go to work to make a net gain at the horrible cost of not getting to see, be with, or raise your kid. If she's making less than 50k, it's actually a net cost, and also she doesn't get to see her kid.
@@feartheghus I agree with you
Girl I'be been sleeping directly on a carpet in kindergarten. Poland raised me up strong 💪🏻🤡
EDIT woa i said sth relatable
Tak lol
I attended a kindergarten managed by nuns.. they made us sleep sitted in chairs with the head on the table 😂 I was never be able to slept once in three years of school but the nap time was mandatory so I just sat there in the dark
Im American. We slept on carpet too lol
🤣
Living for this response
Just a few things as a daycare teacher for anyone who is stressed by this video. US kids do NOT sleep on the floor. They sleep on cots that are lifted a few inches off of the ground. This in my opinion makes the safe a lot safer. If I am alone in a room of sixteen two year old kids, it may not be possible for me to catch one falling out of bed. I don't know of a school in my area that requires kids to bring food, and hot meals are served twice with two cold snacks. Also, most daycares in the US are open 7-6! As much as I am all for alternative schools (I'm a reggio inspired teacher), this video just comes across as judgemental of other education styles. Different families value different things, and as a parent the last thing I would care about is if my kid switched to their pajamas for nap time. I much more value genuine play-based education and the actual pedagogy of a school than the details like this, most of which aren't true.
Keeping language is also so important.
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.
My sister is currently working in childcare and she doesn't get enough appreciation for it, its very sad. People have said "its not a real job" which is ridiculous. its actually extremely hard work and she gets paid nothing, she's constantly sick from people bringing in sick kids, has to work overtime everyday and has to fill out paperwork her entire lunch break. I am also studying to become an early childhood teacher and its incredibly hard. They need more appreciation for what they do!
You’re underpaid - ask for a raise
During my time working in daycare I had a similar experience. The staff had to get there before the children (anytime from 6:30 to 8 am), and stay until the last one left (usually 6pm). We fed them breakfast, lunch, and snacks. If someone wanted a specific snack they would need to bring it with their child. 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.
I don't know any daycare that closed at 2pm.
Same. I did it for 16 years. I call shenanigans on all of this video.
Just how many people looked after 15 to 20 children? I could not do that job nope never I take my hat off to you that's for sure and you need pay triple what you were getting if you ask me. She this is why I worked with horses I worked all over the world and I lived in the USA working with polo ponies after the summer travelling around the polo tournaments after x-mas, we would then head down to West Palm Beach Florida for the whole winter.
I worked with horses for over 30yrs and no children in sight definitely no children ponies. Odd they would call me Mary Poppins in the USA as the children would follow me for some reason, no clue why they just liked me. Maybe it was my English accent 🤔
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
How the hell is that possible with thousands of labels available nowadays? Excuses
@@sly3335 they are kids.
@@sly3335 are you really gonna label all the clothes you kid owns, especially when they grow out of them quicklym
@@sly3335 because parents dont always label the clothes and it can be hard to differentiate at times. why dont you open yourself to more possibilities, itll cause you less stress and confusion /gen + lh

In our county daycare is free (I live in Hungary) and the kids get free warm food 3 times a day:)
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 :)
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.
I worked at many daycares and I can vouch for this as well. We were open from 6-6. Kids slept on cots though
I don’t see the problem with mats? Kids love to sleep on the floor and it’s normal to sleep on the floor in many parts of the world.
Also don’t most people nap in their day clothes? Otherwise it’s just bedtime.
I agree. I have never heard of a daycare closing at 2pm
I was wondering if she was meaning preschool? I know preschools that close @ 2 and then the kid goes to daycare after that. It also fits the other things she mentioned that I find many daycares do have.
Same here! Where I live all the daycare and private prek's go from 6am-6pm. Only the public prek let's out earlier and they have and extended school day program for kids who need to stay longer.
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.
lol frr idk what she talkin about
Yeah I've personally never heard of a daycare closing before 5 or 6!? Im not sure where that stat came from lol
Exactly like what she talkin bout
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.
If she wants her kid to go to a Russian daycare fine. Don't lie on us though.
My daughter goes to a Russian daycare, yes they make home made meals, she sleeps on a cot, costs 1600 for full time care per month.
As a previous American Daycare worker - we did in fact feed the kids 3 times a day and they did get at least one of those meals hot. The sleeping in the cot in their clothes thing is accurate (although I mean really, it was a cot about the same height as that toddler bed so just not as fancy but sheets were washed for them daily). Daycare stayed open until 6PM
Actually no it wasn't in their clothing. We changed them into pajamas too. Took me a minute to remember that, haven't worked in childcare in a bit. They also didn't sleep with shoes on
I think she doesn’t know the difference between daycare vs preschool. No daycare would end at 2pm.
Yes you're are right and it's more expensive because for the overtime. It's like paying for preschool and aftercare if you can't pick up your child earlier but the pajamas thing 🙄 totally unnecessary
Right?! That confused me so much! I’ll bet you’re right.
@@phumi4801 pajamas aren't unnecessary. It teaches them good habnit of prepareing for bed time, so they can separate it. And it is important bec. in the future they are less likely to lay on couch witouth wahsing teeth or showering or whatever
@@andreamanzoni7303 definitely. teaching kids basic life skills at a young age is important
area dependent pricing(big cities ain't cheap), and the kid is getting language lessons and full care
so this is a preschool/daycare/private school kinda situation and the costs add up(hey the staff might even be getting a living wage), and bonus of parent not having to be the end all teacher of healthy habits and routines
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
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
maybe the ones in her state
Legally they have to prepare 2 hot meals for the children. Also, a lot of daycares run until 5-7pm.
This is so true! I once worked in a Russian daycare
And of course another huge reason for this choice is for our kids to preserve our language and our culture 🙏
Also quick correction: some daycares offer extended days, but not all :( and the waitlist to the one that’s close to our home is one year
Silicon valley girl I live in Atlanta. I wonder if Russian daycares are here. I wld consider for my granddaughter who is mixed black and Hispanic. I wld hope they are receptive to different races. It wld be a great opportunity to learn from different cultures
