It's a time of crisis, in which one tiny virus has managed to shake the world to the full: crossing borders, crossing oceans, skipping continents and paralyzing entire countries. When the surge hits mercilessly, cracks are revealed to their full glory, all the more so when it comes to a dilapidated ship anchored on the edge of the dock. 

The field of early childhood in Israel has been abandoned for 72 years. The daycare centers, established to encourage women's employment, continue to exist in the light of the same perception, although today, based on CBS data in over 84% of households (excluding Arab women), women integrate into the employment market and there is no real need for encouragement. The field of early childhood is on the verge of becoming home to "economic" offices such as the Ministry of Industry, Trade, Economy and the last four years in the Ministry of Labor, Welfare and Social Services. This means that only toddlers whose parents are employed are eligible for a subsidized public setting, and beyond that - birth frameworks do not have a casing that is essentially educational. This is nothing more than a national babysitter. 

The promiscuity in preschool is significant - from the fact that there is no mapping to the whereabouts of the toddlers, the continued lack of mandatory and standard supervision over frameworks and staff in terms of competence and adaptability, and to the needs of the toddlers and their family environment, 

This situation changes when the child reaches the roof of the Ministry of Education, which can provide an overall answer in the fields of education, welfare and health, which is aware of the position of the children under his / her responsibility, works to locate and filter the educators who are under his supervision and even builds the pedagogical program. In the shadow of the Corona, when it was decided to close the kindergartens and schools, it could be impressed that the ministry takes full responsibility all the way - from the decision to stop school, through the transition to online learning and to the outline submitted on its behalf and included all the children of Israel in rotation. This is not the case with regard to the tender ages: Of the 600,000 toddlers in Israel, some 400,000 are in private settings, with no mandate for them. This has created a feeling of chaos, and there has been a real fear of the collapse of the frames due to the ongoing expense burden. In fact, it was unclear what would happen to the staff of the dormitory staff, many of whom were eventually sent to  

the USSR. staff and parents to this one, and 30% for toddlers remain unanswered. the fact that every toddler aged 18 and over was ejected out of the gates of the residence - does not allow parents to return true routine.

news talk about the new layout, which includes opening a daycare for all infants already on Sunday near But as of this moment, new guidelines have not yet been received from the division and again we face many concerns and uncertainties regarding the operation. Toth tender, for which any such change is critical and requires careful thought and uncompromising.

The big pain is, once again, we settled bandage, and we missed a tremendous opportunity to lead a root canal will change the face of early childhood in Israel. We had one day of downtime in order to generate public pressure, it could not ignore the people The                 

parents, staff in early childhood settings, representatives of local authorities and academics work together to create a public resonance that will help the government, which is currently forming, raise early childhood education and prioritize its resources. For the benefit of the country's soft citizens.
