Little Flower Montessori

Eliana Noguchi, Owner/Director • www.littleflowermontessori.com

Children who attend quality child-care centers tend to score higher in intellectual and verbal skills than those left with relatives or with babysitters at home. Selecting the proper child-care provider can be an overwhelming task; however, it’s one of the most important decisions you’ll make concerning your child.

Little Flower Montessori, located in Washington at 3029 16th Street Northwest, phone (202) 667-6803, knows early years are crucial to a child’s long-term development. That’s why they nurture each child’s educational, physical, personal and social needs. Their goal is to help children become self-confident, enthusiastic learners. Little Flower Montessori is a place for fun, fascination and friendships. Children from two years through six years are in a rich, stimulating environment with daily opportunities to explore and learn about the world around them. Frequent interaction is provided by certified teachers to improve your child’s thinking and language skills. Since children learn through play, each age group is offered programs that incorporate fun and learning. The curriculum includes self-help skills such as dressing, toilet training, washing, eating and napping at ages when children are ready to learn. Balanced activities include fun, active outdoor play and quiet indoor play. For discipline, the center uses education versus punishment as a positive approach.

Little Flower Montessori offers flexible hours to meet the needs of parents at an affordable price. They provide both full- and part-time care from early morning until evening. Contact Center Director Eliana Noguchi today at (202) 667-6803 for more information.

SPCA International

www.SPCA.com

The mission of SPCA International is to raise awareness of the abuse of animals to a global level, to teach and foster good pet parenting practices, and to promote spay and neuter programs around the world with the goal of eradicating the need to euthanize healthy and adoptable companion animals.

SPCA International was founded in the United States in 2006. One of SPCA International’s main goals is to use their national platform to support independent shelters. The majority of local SPCAs and Humane Societies around the world are not affiliated with national organizations as most people presume. SPCA International strives to assist and encourage these independent shelters through alliance building, information networking and national and international programs.

In 2007, SPCA International launched their first major shelter initiative, Shelter of the Week. SPCA International has since supported and honored more than 19 local shelters in need. In the fall of 2007, SPCA International founded Operation Baghdad Pups. This program assists soldiers stationed in Iraq and Afghanistan who have befriended dogs and cats by providing safe transport of these military mascots out of the war zone and back to the United States. Currently, SPCA International is working to bring more than 25 animals out of the war zone to safe new homes.

Their Web site at www.SPCA.com provides a global information and referral resource to animal guardians and advocates throughout the world to those who seek a shelter or wish to adopt a shelter animal. SPCA International continually works to improve the quality of life to animals all over the world through their innovative programs.

STIHL Inc.

“Porsche Engineering Group Finds STIHL BR 600 More Fuel Efficient
Than Competitors” • www.stihlusa.com

A study conducted by the Porsche Engineering Group GmbH found that the STIHL BR 600 backpack blower is up to 28% more fuel efficient than competitive models, which can provide up to $644.00 in fuel savings per unit in two seasons, depending on fuel costs and run time. The STIHL BR 600 is also the cleanest running backpack blower in its class with 73% less emissions than current Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) requirements (based upon information reported as of December 8, 2008, on the EPA Web site).

The Porsche study tested backpack blowers at wide open throttle 85% of the time and at idle for the remaining 15%. All the units tested were the U.S. versions, the same as available in stores, and all units were set to their respective manufacturer specifications during testing.

The STIHL BR 600 led the competitors’ models in the Porsche study, ranking the highest in fuel efficiency. The STIHL BR 550, STIHL’s value-priced backpack blower, was also tested in the Porsche study and was found to be 16% more fuel efficient than the BR 600. In a separate comparison, based on specifications from each manufacturer and not associated with the Porsche study, the BR 600 also was ranked as the lightest weight model and the most powerful in air volume in its class.

To learn more about STIHL low-emission and fuel-efficient products and the results of the Porsche Engineering Group GmbH test, visit www.stihlusa.com/BR600. For more information on EPA reporting, visit www.epa.org.
