Israeli Childcare Navigator
Problem
Israeli parents face a fragmented system spanning multiple ministries and municipalities with different rules, deadlines, and eligibility criteria. Missing a gan registration window in February means losing your neighborhood placement. Applying late for daycare subsidies means paying full price for months. Parents of children with special needs must navigate the va'ada process with little guidance on their rights. This skill consolidates the entire childcare journey into one place, preventing costly mistakes and missed deadlines.
