Dr. Peter Hanohano Safe, stable and loving environment I have 5 children, one of whom has attended the PreK program at Laupāhoehoe Charter School. My daughter has wanted to go to school since the day she was born because I could not afford a PreK program, I haven’t been able to send any of my kids to PreK, so when I found out about the opportunity to do so, I jumped on it and was able to for the first time send my third child to PreK. She has loved getting to be among her peers and learning so many life skills! The teachers there are unbelievable, they are dedicated to every child’s success, they love and care for each one as though they are their own. This PreK has provided stability for many kids that come from rough home situations, providing them a safe, stable and loving environment! I have witnessed this myself! It would be detrimental to take that away from the community! Parent, Laupāhoehoe Community PCS, Hawai`i Island Providing quality Early Education With two children approaching preschool, private pay preschools was definitely a financial burden. I didn’t want to compromise their learning or their social development by not sending them to school. This is why the federal grant for Waiʻalae Charter was such a blessing for our family! Our son attended Waiʻalae’s preschool 2017-2018 [program]. He benefited from a multicultural environment and loved learning about the plant life cycle, about building structures, and especially the Hawaiian language and culture component. He is now excelling in all aspects of Kindergarten at Waiʻalae School. He is reading and writing, his creativity is unlimited, he has made good friends, and he still has an incredible love for the Hawaiian language and culture. Without preschool at Waiʻalae, our family would not have been able to provide our children with a quality early education. We are grateful for the grant, the teachers and the loving environment Waiʻalae provides for the keiki [children].
