And as a nurse, I'm more than pleased with the very minimal cases of illness in school.

We LOVE everything about Pali View Baptist Preschool. I had no idea where to start when searching…read morefor preschools for my kids, but had heard that many preschools require you to apply almost a year in advance to reserve a spot. Pali View came highly recommended to me by a friend when I was last minute searching for preschools that would be a good fit for us. I did not think we would get in due to our "later than normal" application, but to our surprise we got a spot! The communication from the start was unmatched. I had many questions as this would be the first school my kids were attending and the director, Elyssa, thoroughly answered all my questions and concerns in a timely manner (less than 24 hour response time which was great)! The administration is great, quick to respond and flexible. The school accepts many of the scholarship programs, which is always a great help when paying the tuition. Even without a scholarship, the tuition is reasonable compared to most preschools here on Oahu. We love that Pali View sets a Christian foundation for the students. I am so happy when my kids come home singing songs from chapel, or telling me stories from the bible. The teachers are incredible and share daily updates, photos etc. through the brightwheel app. The teachers are responsive through the app if you have a question in the middle of the day or mornings before drop offs. The school hosts many events from movie nights, art shows and the Harvest festival, just to name a few. They also have super fun fieldtrips throughout the year. The teachers truly care about each and every one of the kids and they also make it a point to get to know the parents. I could go on and on... but if you are considering sending your kid(s) here, you won't be disappointed. This was the best decision we made in our kiddos early education!

We really like Pali View. Our kids talk about their friends and teachers all the time. Our kids are…read moreexcited about going to school, and they continually show us the Bible songs and prayers they learn. We also struggle with the amount of days off at the school. Having two demanding jobs, we are continually trying to take off time for Veterans Day, Election Day, Fall Break, early outs, etc. This makes it impossible to save up any vacation time to do anything outside of the school. Occasionally, I have meetings that start right at 8AM or end at 4:30PM in downtown Honolulu. In these cases, I am doing everything humanly possible to get to or from the meeting and to the school during the 7AM-5PM window. Coming home, If we hit a stoplight or a traffic jam, we are bound to pay them $1 a minute charge. It's exhausting. Each morning, my daughter's classroom asks that we sign her in and then go to her classroom and practice writing her name and numbers each day. With a demanding schedule, this task is challenging. So really a mixed bag. If you can make this work for your schedule, do it! The staff love your children and your kids learn great social skills. Plus they are learning the core Biblical principles. But be mindful of the time challenges as well.

This school is AMAZING! This school opened when Hokule'a began her voyage around the Globe sharing…read morethe message of MALAMA HONUA. This schools mission was founded on that simple purpose. My son attends MHPCS, one of the first 41 to attend when it opened. It was very "grassroots"for lack of a better word in the beginning. But turned out sooooo awesome!!! There was so much love from the student family's and the community -we all wanted to see it grow! Not to forget the dedicated & fearless faculty , it was definitely due to their hard work n late nights. Here's our review: . My sons class only had 10kids in his whole GRADE!! So the attention he received truly helped him excel! They push the academic curriculum, so he was in kindergarten, but learning 1-2nd grade applications. I was surprised he could actually do it. Small classroom n attention is really the key. Also, they take what they learn in the classroom & in the second half of their day do "outdoor" or "hands on" activities to show how it applies to LIFE. They also do Huakai(field trips) like every week! Compared to My daughter who is in public school in kailua went on TWO field trips during her whole school year, lol. MHPCS takes keiki to regularly work in kalo, beach clean ups,horticulture, and farms. PARENTS will also have to volunteer a couple of hours during the year. Sometimes on the weekend. -They offer free/reduced lunch. -Nut Free school -Do not send child with unhealthy snacks, kumu will send it home.lol -offer A+ -if ur a family in dire need, don't be afraid to ask for help with school supply's etc. Sometimes it happens with big family's -just ask. If can can. -be prepared to volunteer. Bc u will. -morning starts with piko,so get there by 730am -THEY HAVE AIR CONDITION!!!! Woohoo! This keeps my son and our family engaged and to really apply these things in our own life.

It was AWESOME timing, because the session I enrolled my daughter in happen to be ALL ABOUT ANIMALS, & that's exactly what I was teaching my 2 year old daughter all about! I enrolled her in the 4 week session which included going to visit some dairy cows, a farm, sea life park, and meet some reptiles! Each session allows for 10-12 families, one child and one adult. We pay extra for additional family members! It's such an awesome experience for my little girl. She's still moo-ing, and baa-ing, and oinking, and neighing, and quacking. It's amazing to see her brain being stimulated by all that field trip friends have to offer! I love Cindy's whole philosophy of being a "stay - outside mom", especially because my daughter learns best while being active and engaged! All sessions last 1 hr and a half -- perfect for little ones who need to nap!! Field trip friends will definitely be sticking in my daughters schedule!

Very caring, understanding and easy to talk to..even the parents come in smiling when they see us and their child..patiently waiting and or at play. I was VERY impressed that I got invited to a "STAFF" meeting and wow!! The WHOLE KK staff from all over was present. I was VERY honored to be included in these "workshops". All my working career was the boss' or teachers attended these types of meetings. Hoping they "shared" What they learned and pass onto the school staff... if everything was shared! This was a great ice breaker to meet others from schools. It was that "ah-ha" moment to put the names and faces together. This was a very awesome session today (5/31/25) i made suggestions to our site Coordinator and will introduce NEW games and brain games for our summer session. Much Mahalo,

Like most preschools, they have crafts and activities every day, and plenty of time for outdoor play. They celebrate diverse cultural holidays, include hearing/vision screenings, developmental assessments, school pictures, spirit weeks, etc. A big plus is they will potty train. My daughter talks about her teachers and how she loves them. She was only there for a year, but during that time no turnover among her four teachers. She grew and developed so much! They are strict but reasonable with COVID protocols. Tuition is about average. I only occasionally have trouble with parking at drop off. The school is up the street from Castle so there can be a lot of traffic in the area from 7:30-8am.

The curriculum flows organically from class to class--if a subject from Language Arts connects to Science, the faculty embrace it and go with it! Everyone is so open, receptive and creative and kind! Class sizes are small, so your child is given great individualized instruction, but they aren't so small where the social interaction is limited. The creativity in adventures and regular school outings across Oahu are incredible. In many ways, the island is the classroom! We just love this place and are so grateful for its faculty. staff, and visionary and compassionate leadership. Joel Staggers is a remarkable leader.
