Here at Magical Beginnings, we start with babies from six months up to children three years old. Infants and older kids are in different groups under different caregivers with exclusive programs to each.

At Magical Beginnings, the safety and well-being of your child are at the heart of everything we do. While our gan does not have a mamad (reinforced safe room), we have taken every possible precaution to ensure a safe and secure environment. Our facility is built with a concrete roof, and we have carefully designated the safest area inside the gan as a refuge space, in line with the guidelines provided by the Israel Home Front Command (Pikud HaOref). Our staff is trained to respond calmly and swiftly in case of an emergency, guiding the children to the designated space with care and efficiency. We also conduct regular drills to ensure that everyone—children and staff alike—feels prepared and protected. We understand these situations can cause concern, and we’re here to answer any questions or provide further reassurance. Your peace of mind and your child’s safety are always our top priorities.

The amount of childer varies during the school year. Although the amount of children varies, we always comply with the ratio established by the state. There is an official adult per infant ratio stating a maximum of 6 babies per caregiver, nine children ages 16month to 24months per caregiver, and 11 kids ages 25 months to 36 months per caregiver. Magical Beginnings complies with the official ratio and sometimes beyond it. The official rules also state the amount of space needed per child.

We understand that you would like to visit our daycare to see the level of care we provide and to determine if we would be a good fit for your child's needs. To ensure that we do not disrupt the children's daily routine, we are happy to schedule a tour for you at a time when the children are napping or after regular hours. This way, you can see the care and attention we provide without any interruptions, and get a better understanding of our approach to childcare. One of the things that sets us apart from other daycares is that our Director is an active participant in the caregiving. This means that the Director is not only responsible for the overall management of the daycare, but also actively involved in providing care for the children. This ensures that all children receive the highest quality of care and that our daycare maintains a safe and nurturing environment. However, this also means that our Director's role is essential to the children's comfort, safety and well-being, and interruptions to their daily routine can cause distress. Therefore, in order to provide the best care possible, and ensuring the babies' safety and well-being, we schedule the tours at a time when the children are napping or after hours. We hope you can understand our approach.
