City center

Midtown is the outcome of a groundbreaking initiative of the Tel Aviv-Yafo Municipality. Municipal properties are rented out to private operators who meet the quality criteria defined by the Advancement of Early Childhood Division at the Education Administration. The collaboration that exists between the preschool operators, the MOLET design studio and the interior designer Ayelet Ziv has managed to turn this high-tech building in the center of Tel Aviv into a warm and rural-like setting for toddlers aged one to three. Midtown Preschool is the first harbinger which signals those that will follow it. The design and the furniture are all products of recycled wood palettes from the Midtown Towers construction site, reinforcing the idea of sustainability.

Givon לצפייה במיקום בגוגל מפות was built in downtown Tel Aviv where the wholesale fruit and vegetable market used to be located. Today, the school is part of a complex consisting of apartment buildings, recreational venues and shops. The school is a pedagogical pioneer and has a strong connection with its location.

The interior spaces feature transparent partitions and sliding walls that make it possible to consolidate study cubicles into one large space in line with the learning needs of the kindergarten campus and the school. The school can also be accessed from the nearby apartment buildings via a public garden.
