Admission of a Child to a Daycare Center and State Participation in Its Tuition Costs Bill

What does the bill do?

The proposal provides that the examination of the order of priority for admission to a daycare center and for state support for tuition costs will examine only the employment or study status of the mother, and in single-parent families only that of the single parent, without changing the per-capita income calculation. Children of parents serving in the reserves (at least 30 days a year) will receive priority in admission and an improved entitlement level by lowering one level. The provisions will apply from the 5787 school year regarding state participation and from 5788 regarding admission. The estimated budgetary cost is about 300 million shekels per year.
