Community centers (matnasim) in Ashkelon: after-school clubs and day care for kids
Ashkelon's network of community centers is run by the Ashkelon Municipal Company (Ironit Ashkelon) and the regional 'Hof Ashkelon' center — together they cover after-school clubs, youth activities and day care for schoolchildren.
Tzaharon (after-school day care) runs from the end of classes, generally until 16:00 — the exact time and cost vary by school and grade, and registration is through the municipal company's website or directly at the neighborhood community center. Separately, clubs are offered in soccer, basketball, dance, music and other activities for various ages.
You can register for a club or tzaharon through the 'Ironit Ashkelon' website (under the clubs section) or at the regional 'Hof Ashkelon' center's office in the Bat Hadar quarter, where current schedules and open spots can also be confirmed.
