NA’AMAT’s legal aid bureaus, women’s rights centers, and childcare programs help support women and parents in Israel as they pursue their career goals and work to support their families. A single mother who is struggling to afford childcare can turn to one of the 153 NA’AMAT daycare centers throughout the country, while women who have experienced discrimination or harassment in the workplace can seek legal aid from NA’AMAT bureaus. AT NA’AMAT, we believe that independence is strength.

NA’AMAT is the largest provider of childcare services in Israel, allowing mothers (and fathers) to hold down jobs – supporting themselves, their families, and society while pursuing professional dreams. Our 153 centers welcome 12,000 pre-school boys and girls a year, ages 0-3, into a warm, nurturing learning environment in which they develop the skills needed to succeed in school and in life. Tuition is based on a family’s ability to pay, and for those below the poverty line, NA’AMAT USA raises funds to cover fees. These pioneering preschool education programs were the model for Project Head Start in the United States.
