They have a few Covid mesures put into place like hand washing stations and hand sanitizers. They have a huge fenced in yard and play area. There are three separate areas for each age group.

They sing and teach the kids so much in such a short time frame. It is such a blessing for my child to take part in this well organized and educational program for free.

We hope this program continues for years so that many other children may experience the educational support and love from Tutu and Me.

They have several different programs and we enrolled in their Parent Participation Program (PPP) which meets twice a week from 9:00AM to 11:30AM. The PPP is a great program and since it's called 'Parent Participation Program' you need to be there as well. Parents (Makua) can be either the mother or father or grandparents. Basically the PPP gets the keiki and the make ready for school so a lot of the kids are very small ranging from 1 years old to 4 years old. Hawaiian values such as Aloha (love), Mālama (Care), Kuleana (Responsibility) and Laulima (Many Hands) are some of the daily values practiced in class. Kids will sing mele, they do art, and play outside. Keiki O Ka Aina also has other programs such as HIPPY where they send a teacher to your home for an hour a day once a week and that program is useful for kids who cannot get to the Boys & Girls Club in Kahului where classes are located. The kumus in Kahului are Auntie Sherrie and Aunty Kanoe and they are exceptional!

We love the art projects that they do with the keikis and their holiday performances inside the church. The only downside to this preschool is that the kids get really dirty since the play area is mostly sand and after it rains, the kids can get bad mosquito bites if they are prone to getting bit.

Thank you for loving us. We love and appreciate all the teachers of Christ the king pre school!…read moreThank you for all of your support. Mikaela has always been a shy girl, she never talks to anyone or sings on the stage. She's a total opposite to her twin sister who's more outgoing and and talkative. The teachers of Christ the king helped Kaela open up to her friends and to others. One of the things that touched my heart was when they created an animal clinic inspired by Kaela since she wants to be a veterinarian one day. They sincerely care and love each and every children in their classes. They know they're preferences and the children love them like their own Aunties. These teachers pour out their heart and soul to teach them and prepare them for the future. I love and appreciate you all and I am so sad that I won't see you guys next year and but we will bring the kids to visit!! I recommend CHRIST THE KING PRESCHOOL! Send your children here if you're looking for a preschool! @ Christ the King Church Maui

Auntie Lilia is so sweet as ever

Looks and smells good! And it's freshly baked. Can't wait to taste it!

My son has told me that a staff member, Mrs. Campbell, grabbed him by the arm to slow down, and his friends verified this happened. They have shown me pictures on their phones of the red marks she left on his upper arm. Regardless of him running, she shouldn't have laid a hand on my son. They all said she can be really mean at times and overly aggressive. I was really upset and was going to file a complaint, but my son didn't want any unwanted attention. He will be going to Seabury Hall next year with his friends. He said it wasn't a big deal, but I think it is.

We will miss the DTCA Aloha and Ms. Kathy's loving and cheerful radiance greeting us first thing in the morning -- so blessed!! Thank you DTCA!!
