Early Childhood

The first years of life are a crucial period in child development, when foundations are laid for well-being and achievements throughout life. As such, Rashi has undertaken to make high quality early childhood services more widely accessible, particularly in the periphery. We invest in building a comprehensive system of community-based services for young children and their parents, as well as in enriching the educational environment to encourage learning through play.
