At that time no intervention. Today is 2nd time it happened again. why??? It is very stressful to knowing what is going on. I had to send him back to class and looked for every desk and every where.. my son found someone's bag. This is very very disappointing. Why school do not have any intervention to teach. I emailed to HR teach and I am kind of waiting to hear their reaction and what is intervention. Is this really pray to GOD every day? Should I think about getting worse or better?

I was told he would run out of the class. The teacher refused to close the door to mitigate these issues, as she said she couldn't chase him with such a large class. I was also told he had the worst behavior of anyone in the class when I was trying to relate on how other 4 years olds might exhibit challenging behavior. She mentioned next steps would include talking to the principal and everytime we picked my son up it was a super negative report never a single positive thing said about my son. I would expect teachers to work with children during their first school experience on their behaviors to help them adjust, but this was not my experience at New Hope. They seemed very quick to give up and complain about the situation. Remember this is someone's child and only saying negative things doesn't make a family excited to send their child here. the teacher suggested we needed to bring an aid in the classroom. I never one said my child was disabled or needed an aid. This all happened in his first 4 days of school ever. This has ruined my impression of New Hope as a school and as a church unfortunately.

My son has been attending New Hope Christian School (preschool) for the past 2 years. He was born…read moreon August 3rd, which is 3 days after the cut off to go to kindergarten. This meant we had to keep him in preschool an extra year before going to kindergarten. TUITION - Preschool and day care can cost an arm an a leg. Unfortunately, my husband and I do not qualify for any child care subsidies (military, hawaiian, or state/federal funded), and we have to pay tution in full. NHCS is one of the affordable preschools in the area. I did my research and looked for preschools located between Kapolei-Pearl City, and New Hope was the most affordable. We started him off part time, which was 3 full days a week. They also offer early morning care from 6:30am, which is an additional $50. I think we were paying $610 for 3 full days which included meals. This year, school meals are $40(?) per month. For full time with additional morning care and meals, we pay $810 monthly. It is a lot, but it's actually on the lower end compared to other schools that charge $800-$1000 for full time alone. LOCATION - NHCS is located in the Waipahu Town shopping center, along side Goodyear, Jeans warehouse, goodwill and Seafood city. Very convenient for those who live on the west side (Waipahu, Kunia, Ewa Beach, Kapolei) as you can just hop off the freeway to drop off and pick up. There are a few reserved parking stalls fronting the school. FACILITY - It can be deceiving as it does not look large from the outside, but this school includes Clean, well kept and air conditioned. Class rooms are divided by age, with the eldest (5 year olds) towards the entrance, and the youngest (2-3 year olds) towards the inner end of the hall way. The playground is in the back and is on the smaller side in comparison to other schools. STAFF - We LOVE my sons teacher. Ms. Nancy was his teacher last year and again this year. She along with the other teachers, Ms. Tasha, Ms. Joy, Ms. Sydni, & Ms. Vanessa are always so pleasant. My son usually cries at drop off time (yes, even though he's been going there for almost 2 years. Lol.) But they always welcome him in and help him adjust. The staff has a great communication system, and always emails and calls to notify and/or remind parents of any events, field trips, or emergencies. Another thing I like is that the teacher/staff conducts parent teacher conferences twice a year. I really appreciated meeting with them and discussing my child's progress. I have to admit that I was a bit skeptical to send my son to NHCS, but I am glad I did. He has grown from a scared toddler into a little boy who is ready for kindergarten. Overall, I would highly recommend New Hope Preschool.

To my information she calls boys puppydogs because of their energy, she has obvious favoritism, and she is very sexist towards males for no reason she has the mental compacity of a child and locks her students out her room when they slightly do something wrong. She doesn't even teach but makes her students read a book and watch a video to write Cornell notes, and when the wind is strong and the door blows open when someone opens it cause its stronger than a 300 ton truck coming at you, another teacher in specifics outs you in-front of the whole period shaming you and excluding you from activities because they never finish their work. One of the few male teachers at highlands makes their clubs students do improv. work last minute and gets mad at them when they do it last minute, another teacher had blatant favoritism, saying that an assignment was easy and shaming that they didn't finish it in a time period she thought was enough, she growls at the students time to time as-well. Never sending another child here again !!

Our child attended…read morefor two years and was provided with exceptional care and compassion, patience, and everything you could ask for in a preschool. Every teacher there felt like they were born to be a pre-school teacher! We feel incredibly grateful to have found Ewa Plains Enrichment in Ewa Beach for our son. From the very beginning, it felt personal. We were not just enrolling in a school but becoming part of a warm, loving community that felt like family. Miss Jessica and the entire team of teachers are everything you would hope for in a preschool. They are warm, kind, intelligent, and fully engaged with the children. Their sincerity and care were evident every single day. It was almost tangible how much they truly loved each child, including ours. The mission of Ewa Plains Enrichment feels centered in love. Every lesson, classroom moment, and interaction reflects that. Our son not only learned how to read here, but something lit up inside him. It was as if a light switched on, and now he reads his own bedtime stories with joy and confidence. This milestone was nurtured by the school's incredible literacy program and the encouragement of his teachers. The school's focus on literacy is truly outstanding. The dedication and joy the teachers bring to reading is something our family will never forget. We also deeply appreciated the school's commitment to Hawaiian culture. Field trips to the lo'i, the pumpkin patch, and the library helped connect learning to the land and the community. Through songs, stories, and hands-on experiences, the children developed a strong sense of place and respect. As a Buddhist family, we always felt completely welcomed and respected at this Christian school. The values of kindness, compassion, gratitude, and responsibility were shared in a loving and inclusive way that felt deeply aligned with our home life. Our son also had the opportunity to share his own heritage during Culture Week and to learn about the cultures of his classmates. Seeing his identity honored and celebrated was incredibly meaningful and helped him feel proud and connected. The school created beautiful memories throughout the year, from Christmas and Easter performances to a heartfelt Mother's Day celebration. Preschool graduation was one of the best graduation events I have ever attended. It was thoughtful, joyful, and full of love. You could see how much the staff cared about each and every child. During a year when our family needed to take extended international trips, the school was flexible, understanding, and supportive. They even prepared homework packets for our son to bring with him, so he could stay connected and continue learning while we traveled. That level of care and thoughtfulness meant so much to us. Ewa Plains Enrichment has been around for many years, and that experience shows in the most beautiful ways. The staff have worked with so many different types of children and family situations, and their understanding, flexibility, and wisdom come through in how they support each student. You can tell they have truly seen it all and are prepared to meet each child where they are, with love and confidence. Ewa Plains Enrichment consistently goes above and beyond what is expected. They are always thinking about the children and their future. This is not just a school. It is a place where children are truly seen, nurtured, and loved. We will be forever grateful to this school, which is a true gift to the community and island!

Being a stay at home mom, I can take care of this stuff. What I need is a professional preschool teacher who knows how to hold my child's attention enough to teach her something. I can teach my daughter too, but after a few minutes she goofs off and just doesn't take me too seriously. I found the perfect solution! At Planet Preschool, Tamara Jenkins, who's been a preschool teacher for 15 years. You might better know her as the "Kindergarten Coach." As of almost a year, she decided to open up her own preschool in her own home. She transformed her lower floor of her Kapolei home into a full fledged preschool. Her methods are to learn through play. Children will do art, play, sing with a specific curriculum in mind, so kids don't realize their learning because they're essentially playing. Genius idea! Mrs. Jenkins believes each child is different and thus learns at a different pace so she guides her teaching specific to each child's pace. If one child already knows her ABC's, then there's no need to waste a ton of time on it, so she'll move on to reading for that particular child. Her goal is to prepare your child for kindergarten but won't stop there. If your child wants to read or beyond, Mrs. Jenkins will take your child as far as your child wants to go. Currently she's got about 5 students in each class, so there's plenty of one on one time for each child. Each class will have a maximum of 10 students. You have a choice of either Tues and Thurs classes, Mon, Wed, and Fri classes, or daily classes. All classes start at 9am or 12:30pm. She's thinking about starting an afternoon class. I believe she's also starting a Kinderjam, a mommy and me class that incorporates "fun, exciting, and high-energy Music and Movement program that emphasizes the kinesthetic and tactile learning of pre-academic skills and concepts while promoting positive parent engagement." I was so desperate to find a preschool program that's not a daycare and not a parent participation preschool that was affordable. I feel so fortunate that I've finally found it! School tuition is about to increase a bit unless you enroll by May. Still affordable, but every bit of savings count. Because she's holding classes at her own home, that's why she can afford to offer classes such a low tuition rate. She's licensed so there's no need to worry. She doesn't have the fancy computers or traditional workbooks of typical preschool, but she makes it work. Check it out!

We also incorporate dramatic play for socializing, fostering verbal skills and imaginative play!
