YOU REALLY THINK THAT'LL HELP?! AND THEY COMPLAIN ABOUT OUR BEHAVIOR AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN WHEN WE WEREN'T EVEN THAT BAD. I WOULD UNENROLL MYSELF IF I COULD. i hate everyone at this "school" but my friends and one teacher.

My grandchildren catches their private school buses at Pearl Ridge Elementary Schools parking lot…read more The bus arrives any time between 6:00 am and 6:10 am. I think its nice that the school allows these private school buses to use their parking lot so the children have a safe place to wait before heading off to school. It's great that the school is able to utilize the parking lot early in the morning for a worth while cause without disturbing their daily routine. This location is great...... there's lots of parking, it's appears to be a safe area and very accessible to the freeway. Thank you Pearl Ridge Elementary for helping to keep our children safe.

My daughter still wears a mask to school to be safe. We had a parent teacher conference here and my daughter is doing well in school. She's smarter than your average 6th grader. I highly recommend this school if you live in the area because the teachers are pretty good here so far. This is my daughter's last year and will transfer to intermediate school. After 8th grade, we will move back to San Diego California so she will finish high school there. This school has been pretty good to her. The parking and traffic going through here is pretty bad but the school overall is good.

Celebration of Life in Aiea, Oahu, Hawaii…read more.. My parents' friends are passing away. It's sad because I know that my mom's turn will be coming... eventually... However, right now, I'm glad that I'm able to go with mom to these Memorial Services where she can see the friends that are still living. They don't get together as much anymore. It's too bad because they (The Gang) were very sociable in the past. Anyway... One of the members of their gang was Uncle Eric. He and his family are members of St. Elizabeth Church, so Uncle Eric's Memorial Service was held there. St. Elizabeth Church is a more established parish... they will actually be celebrating 100 years in 2025! They have a school in the next building. We weren't able to park there - which is good. We don't want to disturb the students. The parking lot for the church is before both church and school buildings. I drove slowly along the beginning of Moanalua Road and saw the sign for the parking lot. Right outside of the church, the family of Uncle Eric provided refreshments. We walked upstairs to the reception table, signed in, and then entered the air-conditioned church with beautiful stained glass windows and old school wooden pews. The lighting and sound system were good! We enjoyed a slide show of family photos!The musicians were stationed in the front on the right side. Everything went well! Afterward, the outdoor snack area had bento boxes and bottled water for guests to take home. Note: Restrooms were on the ground level by the Social Hall. I found a sign and followed the arrow... I'll have to return for a regular Sunday service. St. Elizabeth Church has a new, young priest, Father Arrion, who has a wonderful singing voice and threw some Latin passages into the mass! I was impressed!

Then all the sudden the vice principal leaves after we threatened to sue. Our kids have been to Nanakuli, Kapilina, Royal, and Jefferson.. this school was by far the WORST!!!!

We just transferred to Hawaii from Georgia, in the middle of the school year. My son is in…read moreKindergarten. This school is definitely not what I was expected. It was hard to find...someone had to explain to me that I had to enter the apartment complex in order to reach it, which is what ultimately helped me find it. The biggest downside to this school is the location. It's on top of a hill, and the road that takes you to the front of the school is very steep and very narrow. At dismissal time, it's a nightmare because the road is so narrow, and to get to the parking area, you travel a road that is so narrow you can only have cars traveling in one direction at a time. So if there is one parent who is late getting there to pick up their child (and there is always at least one!), everyone trying to leave the parking lot is held at a standstill until that car arrives in the parking lot. Despite the horrible parking situation and the narrow roads around the school, the school itself is great! The staff is so incredibly friendly. I was anxious having my son switch schools in the middle of the school year, but they were so open and warm, it put both me and my son at ease. He had a counselor checking in on him throughout his first week, which also helped. His teacher stays on top of informing me about his progress, so I'm never left wondering how he's doing. If I have any questions or concerns, she very easy to get a hold of, and has never left me hanging. The layout of the school is pretty simple. It's also one of the smaller schools in the area that I've seen. They also have a very laid back uniform compared to some of the other schools. Uniform shirts are either blue or red, and can be purchased from the school for $8.40 a piece. They don't require specific type or color pants/shorts/skirts to be worn either. They communicate well with parents, sending home news letters once a month. Their school website also has a lot of useful information as well. Overall, we are very happy with the school.

We love the Growing Patch!…read more So we initially found the Growing Patch on Patch Hawaii where they list all certified childcare providers on the island. I only used 2 months of maternity leave so I needed to find a daycare that would take my baby as young as she was. We were lucky to find the Growing Patch since they take babies as young as 3 weeks old. We also learned that the owner was prior military and we were proud to go with them since we are military ourselves. We live on the west side and work closer to town so they were right in the middle and convenient for dropping off and picking up baby. Their location is a bit hidden in the back parking lot of Aiea Square area, near Queen Street Cafe but it's easy to get to since it's at the cutoff for Aiea if you're coming from either direction. This makes getting back on the freeway just as easy if you're heading town side. If you're going west, you'll either have to back track to Halawa or drive further down towards Pearl City. To start off, although this facility is a bit hidden, the front doors art covered in bright red posters showing that it's a daycare that provides 24-hour service. Yes! They will watch your child overnight if you need it. We visited the place for the first time during family tour day which was scheduled in advanced for those interested in learning about the facility, their staff and how they do things at the Growing Patch. We were the 1st ones to sign up after the orientation was completed and they offered an "observation day" before my baby officially started daycare with them. This was where they watched her for a few hours to see how she does around the care givers, being in a new place and around other children. She did great her 1st time there and the longer she went, the more she would learn to love being there. They provide you a list with the items they'll need to take care of your baby and anything else you would recommend to keep them comfortable when they're away from you. Each child has a storage cubby for their belongings. At the front door, you have to ring the doorbell to be let in and you check in on the tablet at the front desk. The facility itself is organized and separated into areas for different age groups since they take infants and up to pre-k age. My baby was enrolled into the infants area and they have a lot of things to keep the children busy from walkers, toys, beds and more! They do art work too like a regular school would and send it home with the parents. I love my baby's footprint art! The place smells clean every time I walk in and they sanitize everything at the end of each day. They have a calendar at the front that you can view to see what your child is scheduled to do that day. You can ask the front desk assistants for a curriculum to take home with you too. They even have scheduled field trips for the kids and notify parents via email and the app for permission. Their last field trip was to the Pumpkin Patch back in October 2024. They use an app called Child Pilot to help you keep track of what you're child is doing during the day and to contact you if needed. If you don't bring lunch for your child, they provide meals specially made by the Queen Street Cafe but this is for the toddler ages. The staff here if so friendly and they love the kids very because it shows. When I drop my baby off in the morning, she already knows where she is and loves to smile at all the caregivers. She's even excited to see all the other children and does not cry when I leave. After only a couple months here, my baby is the most friendliest and social child and I love how her smile can brighten up anyone's day when they see her. They hold parent teacher conference to talk about your child's progress here at the Growing Patch. They even ask about the milestones you expect your baby to reach and they'll help them work on that. These meetings are nice and as a first time parent, it's funny to see things from this aspect because I remember my parent teacher conferences with my parents and most of them weren't good since I was naughty lol. I love the relationships they build here otherwise and I haven't had any bad experiences with the Growing Patch so far. We recommend their services to all parents with toddlers or younger and we hope they open more facilities on island in the future. I also wanted to mention that they have a Facebook and Instagram page to see updates and events on your social media. Please see the photos I posted for more info. Thank you to the Growing Patch Ohana and their owner, Mrs. Dominica for all you do!

This rating is based on the customer service received before care was given…read more Domonica, founder of this establishment, called my family to offer us a spot. Over the phone, she specified when the soonest date available is and we gladly accepted. From then, we took the next steps and made an appointment to tour the day care. After touring, Domonica proceeds to tell us that the soonest available date is now 2 months later than the original date she offered and confirmed with us. We were very upset as we already confirmed that we wanted this spot over the phone. She apologized and said she talks to many families and assumed that we were going to back out. She offered the same spot that we accepted to MANY families even after we confirmed. This alone is very unprofessional, especially coming from the founder of this operation. She then offered a hug to cure all of her mistakes. The extreme lack of professionalism and customer service that came directly from the founder is just unacceptable. I do not feel comfortable and would not recommend bringing your family to a place that does not truly care for your family as they only seek to secure the money bag. Please take your child to a place where you know they will be valued.
