Enhancing Joyful Learning
Preschool education for ages 2 – 5 years old Spacious, individual classrooms & large outdoors Low teacher-to-child ratios per national accreditation Centrally located; near to freeway on/off ramps Curriculum follows H.E.L.D.S. (Hawaii Early Learning & Developmental Standards)
Fact: Did you know only about half of eligible children attend preschool in Hawaii? And not all “preschools” are preschools.
Hawaii State Licensing also does not require a preschool to have a curriculum; so parents ought to research when choosing the best fit preschool for their keiki.
We value your “investment” in your keiki’s early childhood education, which will form a positive foundation in their lifelong learning!
