Gov’t to fund daycare for kids of migrants

The government will invest NIS 17 million per year in daycare centers for children of foreign workers and illegals, Israel Radio reports. The money will be used to open 19 centers for toddlers aged up to three years old.

The government also decides to increase regulation and supervision of daycare centers and to shut down centers operating without a permit.

The decision follows reports yesterday of a death of a child in a substandard daycare center, the fifth such case in the last couple of months.
