Childhood Center in Modi\u2019in, preschool children with disabilities have only 90 seconds to reach safety. The center has no on-site protected space.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>The only available shelter is located in a synagogue behind the building. To reach it, staff must take the children approximately 50 meters outside the fenced backyard, down concrete stairs, through a locked gate, and into a locked building. For young children with disabilities, this is not a simple move from one place to another. It is a complex, stressful, and often frightening emergency evacuation.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>During emergency drills, it takes between four and a half and five minutes to reach the synagogue shelter. That is more than three times the warning time available. Every drill reinforces the same reality: the children cannot realistically reach safety in time.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-703811df elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"703811df\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">When Ninety Seconds Is Not Enough<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0deb5c0 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"0deb5c0\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>The Chimes Or Early Childhood Center serves preschool children with disabilities. Many cannot walk independently. Some use walkers, wheelchairs, standing frames, feeding equipment, or other medical and therapeutic supports. Before staff can even begin moving some children, they must safely release them from specialized equipment and prepare them for transport.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>Every emergency requires the full mobilization of the center\u2019s staff, including therapists, teaching assistants, the secretary, the maintenance worker, and the cook. Staff members often carry children in their arms. At times, one staff member must carry two children at once because there is no other option.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>The challenge becomes even greater during rest and nap times. Staff must wake the children, calm them, and move them safely and orderly toward the shelter. Sometimes staff must carry children while they are still asleep. Under these circumstances, reaching shelter within 90 seconds is simply impossible.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>The children\u2019s emotional responses add another layer of difficulty. Some children freeze when asked to leave an activity. Others cry, resist, cling to staff, or refuse to move. Children on the autism spectrum often struggle deeply with sudden changes, noise, urgency, and disruption to routine. Even emergency drills can affect some children for hours afterward.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d8f821a elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"d8f821a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">A Dangerous Journey to Safety<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-875f96c elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"875f96c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Even if the children could reach the synagogue shelter in time, the shelter itself presents challenges. Located 50 meters from the center, it was not designed for young children with disabilities. Rows of chairs, bookshelves, and other furnishings create safety and supervision concerns. Because it also serves as a public shelter, unfamiliar people may enter during emergencies. For children with communication challenges, autism, or sensory regulation difficulties, the noise, crowding, and unpredictability of the environment can significantly increase anxiety and distress.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>Weather also creates serious obstacles. On rainy winter days, the route becomes slippery and dangerous. During extreme summer heat, carrying children and transporting needed equipment becomes physically exhausting. Every staircase, gate, and obstacle along the route adds precious time when every second matters.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>The situation places a heavy emotional burden on parents and staff. Parents ask how their children reach the shelter, whether they can get there in time, and what would happen during a real emergency when parents are not present. Staff carry responsibility for every child\u2019s safety while also worrying about their own families.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-06af1d0 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"06af1d0\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Building Safety Directly Outside the Classrooms<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e839ebc elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"e839ebc\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Chimes Israel seeks support to build a protected shelter directly outside the classroom doors at the Chimes Or Early Childhood Center in Modi\u2019in.

It will provide accessible, immediate, life-saving protection for up to 40 preschool children and the professionals who care for them.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>Instead of racing against the clock, staff will be able to guide children quickly and calmly into safety.

For children with disabilities, this means much more than missed school. It means disrupted therapies, regression in development, increased stress at home, and the loss of the stability that is so critical to their growth. For parents, the center is a vital source of support.
