Kama'aina Kids is a great organization. I just started in…read moreMarch of 25'. The work schedule works for me, since I'm already there at the Kaimuki District school. 3x a week. The KK schedule just added 2 more days to make it 5days. I LOVE the ppl I work with. Our Site Coordinator is AWESOME! Very caring, understanding and easy to talk to..even the parents come in smiling when they see us and their child..patiently waiting and or at play. I was VERY impressed that I got invited to a "STAFF" meeting and wow!! The WHOLE KK staff from all over was present. I was VERY honored to be included in these "workshops". All my working career was the boss' or teachers attended these types of meetings. Hoping they "shared" What they learned and pass onto the school staff... if everything was shared! This was a great ice breaker to meet others from schools. It was that "ah-ha" moment to put the names and faces together. This was a very awesome session today (5/31/25) i made suggestions to our site Coordinator and will introduce NEW games and brain games for our summer session. Much Mahalo,

Today is my daughter's last day and I'm getting a little emotional! The teachers and staff are…read morewonderful. They are so kind and caring toward the children. Like most preschools, they have crafts and activities every day, and plenty of time for outdoor play. They celebrate diverse cultural holidays, include hearing/vision screenings, developmental assessments, school pictures, spirit weeks, etc. A big plus is they will potty train. My daughter talks about her teachers and how she loves them. She was only there for a year, but during that time no turnover among her four teachers. She grew and developed so much! They are strict but reasonable with COVID protocols. Tuition is about average. I only occasionally have trouble with parking at drop off. The school is up the street from Castle so there can be a lot of traffic in the area from 7:30-8am.

We are so blessed to have found Wee Achievers. The teachers, Ms. Debbie and Ms. Trisha have put…read moretogether an amazing and creative curriculum that put the F-U-N in learning! My shy child was able to flourish, because the teachers are very nurturing and caring. She is also kindergarten ready, because their curriculum incorporates everything kids need to know for kindergarten and so much more! Find pics on their Facebook page.

Both my children attended this preschool and it was nothing short of amazing. They learned and…read moreplayed, formed great relationships with friends, and had the best teachers. Debbie, Trisha and Cathie love your kids and just love to teach. I recommend this preschool to anyone with littles. My kids absolutely love school because of them and I'm so happy they had the best preschool experience we could ask for. Being part of the Wee family is really special and your kids go off to kindergarten sad to leave but prepared and ready.

We really like Pali View. Our kids talk about their friends and teachers all the time. Our kids are…read moreexcited about going to school, and they continually show us the Bible songs and prayers they learn. We also struggle with the amount of days off at the school. Having two demanding jobs, we are continually trying to take off time for Veterans Day, Election Day, Fall Break, early outs, etc. This makes it impossible to save up any vacation time to do anything outside of the school. Occasionally, I have meetings that start right at 8AM or end at 4:30PM in downtown Honolulu. In these cases, I am doing everything humanly possible to get to or from the meeting and to the school during the 7AM-5PM window. Coming home, If we hit a stoplight or a traffic jam, we are bound to pay them $1 a minute charge. It's exhausting. Each morning, my daughter's classroom asks that we sign her in and then go to her classroom and practice writing her name and numbers each day. With a demanding schedule, this task is challenging. So really a mixed bag. If you can make this work for your schedule, do it! The staff love your children and your kids learn great social skills. Plus they are learning the core Biblical principles. But be mindful of the time challenges as well.

We really love this school! The whole staff has been so professional, caring, informative and…read morehelpful from the start! My daughter genuinely loves her teachers & classmates, and seems to be really thriving. I personally love all the updates, photos and messages from the staff throughout the day letting us know how she's doing and what she's up to! It's such a relief being able to communicate so quickly and easily with them. They're actually so great about responding! It's been a very fulfilling and wonderful experience for our family thus far at Pali View. I honestly don't have anything negative to say! I am very happy we went with this school and would definitely recommend for parents to check out!

So thankful that we chose Seagull Preschool for our daughter! There are so many great in class…read moreprojects that are teaching her to be aware of her environment, other people, culture, street safety etc. The fun activities and field trips that develop my daughter in all areas! She was behind on her letters entering and now with the help of Aunty Lei and other staff she's up to par and ready for kindergarten. And as a nurse, I'm more than pleased with the very minimal cases of illness in school.

Our daughter spent 1 month at Love a Keiki. Our experience was great! The teachers were very…read moreaccommodating, transparent, and kind. The price was affordable, including snacks and lunch. My daughter had a hard time adjusting, but with the help of the teachers, was able to settle in after a week. We could only do 1 month though because our work was too far with the afternoon rush to pick her up. If traffic wasn't a problem, we would for sure chose to keep her at Love a Keiki.

For the last two years our family has been spending a couple months in Honolulu and our daughter…read morewho is four years old has been attending this preschool. I don't even know where to begin but our daughter has grown and learned SO MUCH by attending this preschool. The teachers are absolutely amazing!! From exploring nature, creating beautiful art, to celebrating cultural and national holidays, this school provides early childhood education that is holistic and ensures each child is learning in the way that best suits their needs. If you're looking for a preschool for your children I highly recommend the YMCA Pali Nuuanu Preschool!!

I highly recommend Kama'aina Kids Aikahi! My toddler has learned so much in the short time she has…read morebeen there. She is talking so much now and loves to sing me all the songs she learns. Her table manners at home are now excellent since she eats breakfast, lunch, and snack with her friends (classmates) at school. Her teachers have been amazing and provide a wonderful assortment of activities for the class to learn new skills. All the staff are so friendly, kind, and welcoming.

Best hidden gem preschool in Nuuanu! Let me preface this by saying I am not a trusting person, and…read morethis is not our first childcare facility. However, I am completely satisfied with Jumpstart. My daughter started halfway through the 2 year old year, and she is in the 4's class now. The enrollment process was quick and easy. The owner/director, Sherri, is very responsive, thorough, and nonjudgmental. All my daughter's teachers have been loving and great with communication (in person, through texts and calls, as well as an app). They also helped us a ton with potty training. The school itself is well located, ample parking, spacious airy classrooms, and lots of outdoor space. They have a good balance of play and academic curriculum. It is small and family-like. It is secular and not a part of the temple/synagogue. The school has followed COVID protocols to the T and remained open through the pandemic with only minor schedule changes, which is not an easy feat. As a single parent I really appreciate this preschool for keeping my daughter safe, socialized, and learning!
