The sitters were attentive, engaging, and well prepared--bringing age-appropriate activities, books, and toys, taking the kids on walks around the resort, and keeping them happy and comfortable the entire time. A special thank you to Lauren for her amazing care and to Deborah, who coordinated everything quickly and professionally. Highly recommend Aloha Sitters for families visiting Oahu.

Patricia is very professional (licensed in-home care provider, has a contract and parent handbook to reference, completes trainings, etc), as well as very warm and patient with the children. From 3mo-1yr old, she provided daily logs of what baby drank/ate, diaper changes, naps, and activities. She logged everything in the Class Dojo app. I was able to pull up the app to reference the daily logs and see pics from the day. It was very helpful to see my baby's patterns and development. She also taught my baby sign language, which was beyond helpful! Once baby turned 1yr old, she started receiving the lunch and snacks Patricia provides. The meals are nutritious and well balanced (she goes by usda guidelines). Patricia had structured days for the kids, and the routine is great. She did circle time, letter of the day, taught songs, arts/crafts, sensory bins, water play, went on walks to the park. Based on day of the week, I always knew what the plan for the day was. My daughter loved going to Auntie Trish's house. I knew my daughter was safe, happy, and thriving. I highly recommend Patricia.

I have no words to describe what this school has meant for our little ohana. 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!

We desired a school that was not…read morejust a "daycare" but one that would challenge our son and continue to foster his growth intellectually as well as be faith based. Our child has excelled and fluorished not only in academics but also socially and spiritually. His growth here has been astounding.

They address all aspects of a child's development and offer different activities and experiences for them. He went through three different neighboring preschools before we found this one and we wished we had found it sooner.

I am so happy to have found this place!! St. Francis Intergenerational Center is a daycare facility…read morefor children and adults. I am going to review the adult daycare portion. I "shopped" and interviewed many places before settling on this one. First off, let me preface that being a caregiver to an ailing loved one 24/7 for the past 2.5 years has been the most challenging and rewarding "job" I have ever had. As rewarding as it is, I do acknowledge that self care is of utmost importance in terms of longevity. I need to be able to be of healthy mind, spirit and body BEFORE I can take care of anyone else. Anything else short of that means that fatigue, resentment and burnout will occur. This place is so fantastic! Really it is. Raquel is the program administrator the adult daycare portion and she has been so instrumental in helping our family transition our loved one into their program. Minimum days to be enrolled here is two days a week and of course anything after that they could probably accommodate your family needs. The staff is also very nice and genuinely caring and jovial. I have dropped by here many times without an appointment just to peer through their glass door to see what they are doing. Each time, I see my loved one being cared for and staff being attentive. Many times they don't see me peering in. But it's this type of surprise visit that make me feel at ease about leaving my loved one here. They have a monthly newsletter that goes out to the family and one can see what is on the menu daily, activities for the month, planned field trips, parties and themes for the month. They have different people come in as well during the week to "entertain" and engage the daycare participants - from musicians, yoga instructors (chair yoga), to arts and crafts - they really keep the participants busy. There is a daily schedule as well that includes meal times (breakfast, snacks and lunch), nap or down time and quiet time. Perhaps one of the nicest things about SFIC is that the participants get to engage with the children from the child daycare section (supervised of course) and both generations benefit from that exchange. The facility is extremely clean (a bit too cold but I just dress my loved one accordingly) and boasts a full kitchen, bathrooms and showers (if needed), recliners for nap time and outside picnic benches for when they get to enjoy the fresh air outside. This place has been a godsend!! I cannot stress enough how much this respite has helped alleviate caregiver stress and burnout. When choosing a daycare, it was important to me that there are staff members that could communicate with our loved one in her dialect. I feel completely comfortable leaving our loved one here knowing that her safety and well being is their foremost goal. She comes back smiling and that's always a good feeling. SFIG is located in Historic Ewa Beach on Renton Road.

Not only do they teach the kids ABC's and 123's but they teach them foreign language and Hawaiian. You cannot put a price tag on the future potential of being bi-lingual or tri-lingual!

From entering the school to taking our boys to their class it was all smiles and good morning always filled with aloha. We knew our kids were not only being taken care of but loved. Every single staff would know/call our boys by their name. The director was always approachable, addressed us by our names and was always present in my kid's life until last December 2025 when while on our vacation we heard she was no longer there. To our surprise the entire front staff was gone. Keypads were installed, no colorful office , no aloha, no smiles ... felt like going to a business building ? Cold, quiet ... sad. Luckily my oldest left last year but my young is still a student there. Needless to say from January 2026 it's been terrible. Director Monica haven't emailed us back since January , horrible communication, changes in tuition and overcharges ... I wish I could've pulled my kid back in January ... so if you haven't : DO NOT ENROLL YOUR CHILD AT COLE ACADEMY!!! I heard seagull in Ko'olina is accepting new students 12 months and older ! Find a place that your child will be treated with love and you as a parent with aloha and respect. I'm writing as a parent but let me tell the stories I heard from teachers make it even worse . Loyal and caring teachers that left because they can't deal with management anymore. Feel free to reach out if you need more info!
