STAR LEARNING CENTER

A compromised immune system shouldn't compromise their childhood.

Star Learning Center is a vibrant preschool in a completely sterile environment, where immunocompromised children can play, learn and socialize just like every other kid their age.

HOME-BASED EDUCATION

Back in bed doesn't mean they can't be back in school.

When children are too sick to attend school, Morahs-on-Wheels bring school to them. Our young (and older:)) students eagerly count the minutes until their beloved morahs arrive with their daily dose of fun and education.

HOSPITAL-BASED EDUCATION

Cross-country hospital visits don't count as geography lessons.

Even as patients are hooked up to IV drips in hospitals far from home, our Morah-on-Wheels are equipped with robust curriculums, interactive activities, and live Zoom classes to ensure they stay stimulated, engaged, and on grade level.

SIBLING SUPPORT

A sibling's low immunity doesn't have to cause low marks.

The space is an after-school haven for siblings and children of patients. Here they can unwind and enjoy a hot meal and a listening ear as 'big sisters' help them with their homework and shower them with love. Additionally, separate peer programs for teens, tweens, and boys offer fun and friendship in a safe, supportive environment.

PARENTAL SUPPORT

Even caretakers sometimes need to be cared for.

For parents juggling the impossible, Kochavim provides practical assistance on the home front, as well as peer support and educational events, so these unsung heros don't have to do it all alone. Respite homes tucked away in tranquil locations allow caretakers to take a break and replenish their energy when they need it most.

KOCHAVIM GLOBAL

Home is where your support system is.

Families that need to relocate for treatment get embraced by the extended Kochavim family. With apartment setup, childcare arrangements, paperwork, and appointment support, we help families feel at home even when they can't be there. Our private peer support events connect out-of-state families with people who speak their language.

“We are so lucky to be able to send our daughter here every day, and know that she’s in the best hands!”
