The Municipality of Ramat Hasharon has chosen an operator for a discounted day care center for toddlers. According to the terms of the tender, the daycare center will be operated at a price of about NIS 3,400, which is about a thousand NIS lower than the market price. The daycare center is designed for children aged 0-3 and can accommodate up to 80 children. The daycare center will start operating at the beginning of the school year in September 2024.
Mayor of Ramat Hasharon Yitzhak Rochbarger: “When I took office, we started with a marathon run, but at the pace of running 100 meters, with the aim of establishing a discounted day care center for the children of Ramat Hasharon. On the one hand, this day care center will maintain quality and, on the other hand, offer a price that is about a thousand shekels cheaper than the market. I thank the team the professional and the members of the tenders committee for the cooperation.”
Reminder: In the Ramat Hasharon Municipality, it was decided a few weeks ago to stop operating the group of “Tropigan” day care centers, which have been operating on Alexandroni Street in the Morsha neighborhood, for over a decade. These are subsidized kindergartens, partly subsidized by the Ministry of Social Affairs, and partly by the local authority. About eighty children, residents of Ramat Hasharon, aged 0-3 years old, attended Trofigan kindergartens every year. The price of a subsidized kindergarten ranges from NIS 1,000-3,000 , which the parents pay every month for each child. The prices of private kindergartens in Ramat Hasharon for ages 0-3 range from NIS 4,500-6,000 per month per child.
In his above message, Rochberger refers to the fact that he worked to solve the problem, and succeeded in the task. Explanation: Due to the rising prices in the Israeli economy, including wage increases for aides and kindergarten teachers in the public sector, it is difficult to open new kindergartens, daycare centers, and daycare centers. It is even more difficult to open discounted daycare centers. When it comes to a kindergarten Urban, which is operated directly by the municipality, the costs have become very expensive, since the local authority is subject to the collective wage agreements that jumped this year (a leap of a step that was planned in advance), especially regarding the wages of assistants.
Although the municipal limited liability companies are not bound by the collective wage agreements, even in them, for some of the tenders for the opening and management of new kindergartens, day care centers and after-school centers – not a single candidate approaches, due to the low profitability, in the face of the hard work and heavy responsibility, which It is natural to care for and educate toddlers. Registration for the new discounted daycare center for toddlers in Ramat Hasharon will open.
