Consequently, local authorities and philanthropic organizations have begun to recognize the importance of early childhood care and have been working together to establish departments to that end. These departments consist of staff whose job it is to detect any issues requiring special attention among young children.<\/p>\n<p>Each department functions independently and handles its own professional and budgetary issues. However, the departments still depend on the philanthropic organizations as they would not be able to survive financially for long without private support. The State of Israel has only taken minimal responsibility for the management of these departments through the HMOs, supervising them through the Health Ministry.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element
