ENTREPRENEUR'S BACKGROUND:
Haya worked as a salaried worker at various kindergartens in
the city for 12 years. She gained a wealth of experience and an
excellent reputation. Haya is strongly connected to art and, in
addition to her work in kindergartens she ran arts workshops and activities in Petach Tikvah and Givat Shmuel, and also
gained experience and knowhow in marketing and management.

In 2013 Haya identified an opportunity to acquire an active kindergarten Yehudah Halevy Street in Givat Shmuel. The
kindergarten belongs to an operator who owns a number of such facilities. However, he saw he was unable to continue
operating such a large number of kindergartens at the same time and decided to reduce his activity level and to sell the
kindergarten. After many years in the field Haya decided it was time to start out on her own, and to open a kindergarten.
She decided to purchase the kindergarten and to upgrade it, based on her understanding and experience.
