Important to know

Tachles Israel is an independent information service, not a government authority. Check binding conditions, eligibility and deadlines with the official source.

Before you start

Childcare registration follows the school year, type of setting and dates published by the Ministry of Labour. Registration does not necessarily approve a subsidy or guarantee a place.

Who is this guide for?

Parents checking home-based childcare with an official recognition code or another recognised setting.

!
Conditions and exceptions

Registration dates and subsidy conditions change annually. Check the relevant school year.

Step by step

The checklist

Your progress0 of 4 Steps
01

Select the correct school year

Open the registration page for the relevant school year and check the registration window.
What should you prepare?

Child's details and the preferred childcare setting.

Please note

Last year's dates do not automatically apply to this year.

02

Check that the setting is recognised

Confirm that the setting appears in the appropriate official scheme and that its type meets your needs.
What should you prepare?

Name of the setting and operator details.

Please note

Do not assume every private childcare setting is recognised for subsidies.

03

Register through the childcare coordinator

The Ministry of Labour page directs parents to the home-based childcare coordinator. Ask about documents, dates and options after the registration window has closed, and keep confirmation. Registration and a subsidy application are separate processes.
What should you prepare?

The child's details and documents required by the coordinator under official instructions.

Please note

Registration is not final admission. The service page's regular 2026–2027 registration window ended on 8 March 2026; check with the coordinator rather than assuming registration or a place is available now.

04

Check subsidies separately

If you need assistance with tuition fees, read the conditions and submit a separate application if required.
What should you prepare?

Documents required under the subsidy conditions.

Please note

An approved place does not necessarily mean approved financial assistance.
