The association was founded by professionals from various fields of knowledge, experts in the field of early childhood, from the Arab and Jewish society in the Negev, who set themselves the goal of promoting action and public discourse on the importance of intervention in early childhood. The group wishes to establish a long-term influence and seeks to lay a future infrastructure for providing a culturally and linguistically adapted response to families and developing a system of training and further training for local professionals.
Reinstating a sense of inner control to the parents and the community as a whole, while facing the changes and transformations the community goes through at the intersection between a traditional and a modern society. Imbuing parents with confidence and inner strength in their ability to impact and promote their kids development, from childhood to adulthood. We put a lot of thought into devising methods to preserve traditional practices of parenting and raising children, in correspondence with the changing reality.
Developing culturally adapted models for preschool children and operating them in the community, empowering and making knowledge and information accessible to parents, professionals and policy makers. Encouraging and strengthening cooperation between Bedouin and Jewish professionals from different professions in the Negev, deepening knowledge among the professionals and training and development of local personnel.
Reducing the gaps and empowering Arab society in the Negev by making knowledge accessible and encouraging reading in early childhood and for mothers.
