The educational activities are implemented according to the basic curriculum of the pre-primary education system (in use as of March 1,2000).
This curriculum is based on the framework programs that have been publicized in recent years: The Framework Program for State and State-religious, Arab and Druze Kindergartens in Israel for Children Ages 3-6 (as of 1995); the Framework Program for Special Needs Children in Early Childhood Education, in Regular, Integrated and Special education Kindergartens (as of 1996);and the Framework Program for Two-to-three year-olds (published in 1996).
The kindergarten staff is autonomous in its ability to choose subject matter and determine appropriate teaching methods, while maintaining pluralistic expression and meeting specific and local needs. Nevertheless, in order to provide equal opportunity for all children and enable them to maximize their potential, the basic curriculum includes several required subjects.
