Kamehameha Schools Preschools

pattern

Big dreams start small

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.

Watch video of HI NOW Host Kainoa Carlson’s visit to KS Waimānalo Preschool to learn about KS Preschools Hawaiian culture-based education focus and how to apply!
