The aim of the document is to propose a comprehensive reform in the field of education and early childhood care in Israel, i.e, the first years of the child’s life, from birth until entering the formal structured framework of education at the age of 6.
The growing awareness about the importance of early childhood itself, and its centrality within a wide range of socio-economic processes, raises the need to redesign old paradigm that are no longer suitable in today’s reality. Therefore, an orderly policy must be drawn up, one which recognizes the importance of the subject, and is based on recent findings.
