Front desk ladies are better than any other schools! My kids first day was a mess for me.. and one…read moreof the ladies went above and beyond and helped me to both my children's classrooms. We originally had my daughter enrolled in two different private schools that accepted her. We couldn't make up our mind on sending her to these really expensive schools. Of course, any parent wants their children to have the best education and that's all we strived for. It was a big dip in our bank account, we felt it was worth it. Nearing the end of summer, we backed down. We remembered how tough it was having both our children on different schedules. Our daughter was in Kamehameha preschool and our son at Royal Elementary (public school). We struggled finding someone to babysit for two different schedules. Yes, private schools do have more "off days". On days that we couldn't find a sitter, we would have our daycare as our back up. Being that private school this year was literally 3/4 our savings, we didn't think we had cushion to constantly send the kids to daycare if we couldn't find a babysitter. So we made the decision to have her in the same school as brother who is in enrolled in SPED. Our fears of robbing our child's education began. She didn't have as much homework as Kamehameha Preschools gave out, which may be a thumbs up for most parents. I actually enjoyed homework time with her. But we still do other things to make up for it. I do see a small decline in her academic interest but, were working on getting her back up. We can't rely solely on the school. The big 5 star review goes out to my sons SPED Preschool class: Ms. Angela and his teacher aide, Vanessa! Amazing, amazing, amazing people with beautiful souls! They truly do their best to help improve all my sons needs! It's been maybe a month in school and my boy is improving so much. I owe it all to these awesome ladies and his therapists! I warned them of my sons lack of immunity due to his condition, and they amaze me at how prepared they are. They sanitize everything a child touches and cleanliness is a must in this class. This schools SPED preschool was actually full at the time of admission, however, due to some personal issues with another school, the principal at this school accepted my son! I can see why their program was full. I plan to keep my son at this school for all his elementary days. So impressed with the quality of care. I almost cringe at the thought of him entering another classroom. I admire these women for all they are. His teacher, Ms.Angela has an app called Bloomz that allows us to message her about our son and she sends us updates as often as she can. She does her best to do daily updates but we don't expect that as she is a busy lady herself. She shows that she really loves what she does and has a passion for it. These are the teachers that deserve the best pay raise ever! If I was her boss, hands down.. her salary would double! Thank you ladies! Thank you Pearl Harbor for accepting my kids on such short notice!

Kids file into the carpool area... It's so refreshing to hear the simple chatter from the carpool benches.... The chatter is not so simple at all actually... Some younger voices mix in with the mixed pitch of the older voices, discussing supportive reasons for why "it has to BE via the use of electricity..." Says the shorter kid to the very tall older one, and other colorful discussions mix in with the somersaults of laughter and cheerful noises... The group among the benches is a fun display of a rainbow of uniqueness each child sporting their own style of clothing... Free form talking free form choices... Amazingly one teacher use able to identify each car and it's matching parents and every child's name calling out the childs name there have been 30 cars so far! Seeming to know every car for every child and preteen as more roll in to pick up their happy child, the upbeat teacher spots them out easily as they approach. One kid calls out to the well known teacher, "Byye, I love you" amid praise and "aww" from some kids and embarrassed chuckles from preteen boys. Peer support here. It seems more true to say Ohana support exists here. As the carpool line has a pause the chatter continues, a school performance arts instructor encourages a few kids "OK why don't you start practicing it..." One or 2 early teen male voices start to sing and the oh so telling voice (of change) cracks between high/low notes and gets fun remarks from his peers as they show off their squeaks to share in the moment. The carpool line starts up again, more carpool line chatter... The Physical fitness instructor honors a selfy request and one kid calls to another "wait" as the day seems to come soon to an end. "Thanks Mom" one kid says as the car wheels slowly roll away... Assets... The day ends too soon.

My child is reading/math/science far above his current grade level. My child loves school. The students/families are friendly and what small issue my child had with another student was resolved quickly and satisfactorily. The school itself feels incredibly secure and everyone knows each other. When something is amiss, they don't hesitate to call the authorities, which I really appreciate. My only negative feedback is that I wish there was more transparency in terms of budget. Tuition has steadily increased and I'm not sure where the extra money went- nor money from fundraising efforts and PTO fundraising efforts. Communication could be better but i do think it has improved over the last two years. I've never had any real encounters with admin but I do think they are fair and responsive. Others may disagree. Overall, we couldn't imagine sending our child anywhere else and look forward to sending our other child there for kindergarten.
