🌿 What happens when keiki carry classroom lessons home? For KS Preschools-Pāhoa kumu Kemomi Kaʻapana, it looks like keiki reminding siblings to be kind, helping with chores and caring for their ʻohana and environment. Those moments show her that lessons in aloha, mālama and kuleana are becoming something more: a way of living. Inspired by her own mother’s 30+ years as a Kamehameha Schools kumu, Kemomi is now carrying that teaching legacy forward. She shared, “When keiki feel safe, valued, and loved, they are capable of incredible growth.” Read how Kemomi is carrying forward Pauahi’s legacy and helping nurture the next generation of our lāhui at KSBE.edu. #MeetOurKumu #KamehamehaPreschools #KSPreschools #EOla #Pauahi #Pāhoa #HawaiiIsland #ImuaKamehameha #Preschools #Kumu #KumuAppreciation
ʻOhana can help keiki make sense of Hurricane Lala by grounding our conversations in mālama, kuleana, aloha and hope. These simple tips offer ways to listen, reassure, and remind our youngest learners that even small acts of aloha can strengthen our ʻohana and lāhui. Mālama kekahi i kekahi. 🌿
