Our preschool program across the pae ‘āina helps our youngest haumāna gain the confidence to dream of how they’ll create a brighter tomorrow. Our preschools are accredited by the National Association for the Education of Young Children, which recognizes early childhood programs that meet national standards of quality requirements. Through Hawaiian culture-based education we offer learning experiences in an environment that is safe, enriching and enjoyable. By connecting our keiki to their culture and language, we lay a foundation for future success.

It’s Kumu Appreciation Week 💙 Mahalo nui to our kumu for all the ways—seen and unseen—you ʻauamo kuleana. Each day you uplift our keiki and bring to life the vision of our beloved Princess Bernice Pauahi Bishop. 💙 We see you. We appreciate you.

🌿 Our Waiʻanae region kumu recently gathered to learn the art of designing kīhei using ʻohe kāpala and natural stamps from the ʻāina. Each pattern carries meaning, each imprint a story—connecting past to present through hands-on, ʻike-rich practice. This ʻike will flow to our keiki who will create their own kīhei in preparation for their Hoʻomau Nā Keiki ceremony—marking a close to the school year and for some an end to their time learning and growing at Kamehameha Preschools. From kūpuna to kumu to keiki, ʻike Hawai’i lives on. 💙 #Eola #Preschool #AlohaAina #HoomauNaKeiki #Waianae
🌿 From mea kanu Hawaiʻi to monarch butterflies 🐛🦋—our Honolulu Papa are learning that everything is connected. At Kamehameha Preschools, our Hawaiian culture-based curriculum creates opportunities for keiki to see, feel, and experience learning in many ways—building deep connections to ʻāina, to life cycles, and to their own growth. Because when keiki learn through connection… learning lasts. 💙 #kamehamehapreschools #earlylearning #hcbe #malamaaina #imuakamehameha
