We have another student group coming next week. One of the waiter already came up to me and asked to work that party. Good times had by all!
Kamehameha Preschools educates 1,100 three- and four-year-olds at 31 locations statewide. These preschools serve specific communities with regional boundaries for eligibility.
The early education program is based on the belief that children learn best with the help of their parents, teachers and peers and through experience with their physical and social environment. Because skill in oral and written communication is necessary for success in school, language and literacy is emphasized. The curriculum also addresses each child’s social, emotional, physical, intellectual, cultural and spiritual needs. Performance goals are developed with the understanding that individual children achieve at different levels. Teachers collect samples of each child’s work throughout the year to show growth in conceptual understanding and skills development.Some of the preschools are located on state Department of Education sites. Tuition is not charged to participants at these preschools.
At the preschools entirely funded and operated by Kamehameha Schools, preference is given to children of Hawaiian descent. A modest tuition is charged at these sites. Financial aid is available. Kamehameha's policy on admissions is to refrain from discriminating against children on the basis of physical or mental disability to the extent required by law. Information
