Our culturally responsive programs support the growth and development of young children and their families across all sectors of Israeli society.
In implementing services, our staff relies on many years of experience and professional training in the field of early childhood development. Our team creates and implements innovative programs based on needs assessment. The educational programs are professionally staffed and supervised. The division also works in partnership with stakeholders at both the local and national levels.

The "Good Growing Home" project was established in collaboration with the Community Centers Society and Tnuva. The project provides children and families from the socio-geographic periphery with wonderful opportunities to strengthen the bond between parent and child and to enrich the family unit. The "Good Growing Home" project includes 9 leisure and enrichment homes for preschool children and their families throughout the country, with two of the homes operating in Arab society and including a wide range of training and classes for children from birth to age 9. The homes throughout the country offer a wide range of free or nominally paid activities, which provide participants with new opportunities to enrich the child and their family unit.
