Caravans/mobile homes have been placed in the yards to provide the extensive one-on-one therapy these children require. The classrooms are overpopulated, and children are waiting at home for rehabilitative daycare placements. Some babies are being bussed as far as 40 minutes each way to daycares outside of the city.
Because the houses are not protected, during wars and conflicts when rockets reign down on Ashkelon, the children cannot go to their therapeutic daycare and lose critical developmental progress. Together with the Ashkelon Municipality, we are building a new, state-of-the-art rehabilitative early childhood center to serve 80 children. The Waldbaum Family Rehabilitative Daycare Center, named for its benefactors, will enable Chimes to provide high-quality care in Ashkelon for years to come. The building will also be protected, so the children will not have to flee to shelter in times of emergency. We have obtained government and private donor commitments for 64% of the funding, with $1,361,341 in construction and equipment, left to raise. In appreciation of major donations, there will be opportunities to dedicate rooms to loved ones.
