Let me just start by saying that you get what you pay for literally. My other half and I decided to…read moresend our child here for preschool. Communication between the school and ourselves were seamless. It was so easy to get the information that we needed in order for our little one to be set. My other half went on their tour and was just mind blown at how well behaved these preschoolers were. This is not your typical traditional school. The campus is nestled in Pearl city on E Komo Mai Drive. I am so beyond excited for him to start school with this legacy who has had the best reputation over numerous years. Everyone here, including the head of the school is nothing but professional and respectful.

My son was enrolled here from 2023 to 2024 and I absolutely believe that sending our son here was…read moreone of the best decisions we've ever made. We really didn't know where we were going to send him to preschool or whether we would be able to send him at all, but we were granted a preschool open doors scholarship and that was the reason we were able to send him. This preschool is such a hidden gem. I had no idea a preschool existed there until we went there for the tour. I couldn't tell what the classes or school looked like from the website so I was happily surprised by the large green lawn and playground for outdoor playtime. The class size was also small so the students get a lot of one-on-one attention from teachers and aides. My son was very apprehensive about starting preschool. He had never been to daycare so it was all very new for him. The first day he hid under the table and they were eventually able to coax him out. He quickly got more and more comfortable and made friends with his classmates and absolutely loved his teacher, Aunty Krisi, and all of the other sweet aunties who worked in the office like the director, Aunty Cheryl. They were all so kind and made each child feel seen and special. He matured SO MUCH socially, behaviorally, academically and in confident independence from the start of the school year to the end. It was truly amazing. Even now that he is in kindergarten, he still tells me that he misses preschool and his friends and teacher. They did crafts every day and spent time outside on the big lawn playing and getting sunshine and fresh air (which was so important to me as I didn't want him to be cooped up in a classroom all day). There were even times he didn't want to leave at pickup because he was still playing with his friends. I especially loved all of the beautiful crafts he made for every holiday and the cute dances and songs they practiced and performed to celebrate special occasions. The teachers took pictures and videos almost every day of my son engaging in different activities and learning new skills and at the end of the school year gave us a fully loaded USB drive with all of the pictures and videos from the whole year. The incredible amount of care and love they give to each student is amazing. I could not have asked for a better preschool experience and now I tell anyone who is looking for a preschool to consider sending their children to Keiki Care Center of Hawaii!

I wanted to love this school due to their location and proposed teaching style, but unfortunately,…read moreas other reviewers have stated, if you have a rambunctious child at all, the staff are unable to handle them. My son attended when he was 2.5-3 years old. I admit he can be a lot (hyper, difficulty regulating emotion, had issues with hitting)....but he's 2. The way this school made it seem was that something was wrong with him and he needed to see a specialist. I wanted to work together with resolving any issues so when they suggested talking to his PCP and maybe talking to DOE, I obliged. I talked to his PCP, was on the waitlist for behavioral evaluation, and spoke to DOE. DOE said he was too high functioning for DOE preschool but the DOE psychologist said she'd observe him at KCCH. She observed him, stated he had minor issues but normal interactions for his age, and made her recommendations to parent and school so that we could work toward improving his behaviors. Apparently, that was not what the school had in mind and had already decided they were going to dismiss him from the school. In no way was it communicated by the teachers or director that his behavior was so bad that he was close to being dismissed (the director admitted herself that when she spoke to the teachers, they didn't communicate that with me). Also, they only gave me 2 weeks to find a new school (one of those weeks was spring break). And the director kept trying to push toward sending him to DOE AFTER I told her he was too high functioning. She stated that it was a 2 week process to get in to DOE, which the DOE psychologist had to tell her that it was usually a 60 day process. She recommended an even smaller teacher to child ratio than what KCCH already boasts. Besides all that, the thing I hated most was the feeling of rejection for my child and having to explain to him that he would have to go to a new school. I hated feeling like something may be wrong with him. Thankfully, we found a new school. My child was the same person with the same issues, but the school is able to handle it with a teacher to child ratio that's higher than KCCH. He's happy and thriving. Bottom line, if your child is rambunctious, the staff won't be able to handle it. They don't communicate well before deciding to dismiss your child from the school. Lastly, the director provides misinformation.

Overall this was an okay school. My child made friends & learned. But overtime, the cons outweighed…read morethe pros... I liked how the school was setup. Classrooms are individual rooms (other preschools, they utilize a big space & divide the area by shelves that gets loud). Also, this is all year school. They're still open during breaks for "day care" (which I didn't see a difference between an actual school day vs daycare). Most of the staff here are nice & friendly, some don't attempt to say hi the very least. But here are my cons: 1. THERE IS ZERO COMMUNICATION with the staff. An app like most schools have to communicate would be nice. - At pick up, the teacher usually doesn't say anything about how the day went. She's been letting my child walk out by themselves. So I just had to go by on what my child tells me. - There is no true point of contact for concerns. If you have a concern, you will need to email the main office and depending on the seriousness Sharon (office staff) may forward it to Mr. Kyle, the "administrator" (owner son). If they do notify him, he will respond by typing a letter, VERY OLD SCHOOL! When it'd be more efficient if he just emailed back directly. So therefore, your concerns does not get addressed. 2. THE TEACHER WILL NOT INFORM YOU OF INCIDENTS that occurs during school. On a few occasions after picking up my child, my child have told me another child has done something to them. One incident, a kid had put dirt all over my child's hair & that child was NOT sent to timeout! INCIDENTS LIKE THESE THE SCHOOL SHOULD BE NOTIFYING BOTH PARENTS! Especially the kid who is doing these incidents so that the parents can talk to their child (again an app to communicate these things would be nice. Also, considering that the 3y/o teacher is VERY forgetful (i.e. she told me to have my child for the Christmas play at 7a, when it said on the paper 9a, also couldn't remember where the play was -_-")) 3. MS. WENDY MAKES UP HER OWN RULES! One occasion, I asked her if I could chaperon on a field, she told me "parents are not allowed." EVEN THO IT SAYS IN THEIR HANDBOOK (that the school strongly goes by), #21 "All parents or guardians who volunteer to chaperone on field trips must have a TB clearance." Doesn't even say that parents are not allowed... 4. THIS IS MORE OF A DAY CARE SETTING. The kids are playing majority of the time. Other than morning circle time, seems that the kids are only given one opportunity to learn. Although, they are given the option to choose to do a worksheet or do table play. They are kids, of course they are going to choose to play. What kind of teaching is that? And the worksheets are VERY basic. My child can do it in 3 seconds. 5. THE FOOD THEY SERVE IS NOT AGE APPROPRIATE. Tell me what 2-5 year old local kid eats "beef mexicana", curry stew, "garden salad", Spanish rice? Atleast, put chicken nuggets on your menu.. - I've been directly told by a professional that they have previously reviewed their menu & made suggestions. But the school told them "they will consider it". So I hope this review will push the school to actually make the appropriate changes. 6. There were a handful of times where the teacher had miss giving my child handouts if they're not there that day/go home early. Half of the time I was not given the lunch menu (then again the only thing on the menu that changes is the month and days). 7. Parents are paying all these comprehensive fees, just for the staff to reuse old cereal boxes & junk laying around for arts & craft. I support repurposing stuff, but atleast be creative! 8. You need to give the school a 30 day withdrawal notice. THIS JUST SHOWS YOU HOW BIG THEIR DROP OUT RATE MUST BE to have this in place, instead of just parting ways & trying to correct what they are doing wrong... 9. THIS SCHOOL IS RUN BY A VERY OLD JAPANESE FAMILY. - Their staffs clock in/out is still the old school system; where you time stamp a paper time card thru a machine. - Payments are only to be paid check or cash. - All their notices looks like they were made in the 90's. Seems they kept the same word file from back then, & only change the dates. - Their "handbook" still says "no Heelys", who wears that?! Clearly, they haven't updated their handbook in over 2 decade. Overall, this school needs modernizationing & a better suited person running this company. SEEMS LIKE THEY ARE STILL OPERATING HOW THEY DID BACK IN 1970's

If you love your child, please look at other options before even considering Alphabetland Preschool…read more(Pearl City). There is not a single reason to choose this school. No one is that desperate for childcare. This is a completely honest review -- this school felt chaotic, dismissive, and completely lacking in care. The environment did not feel nurturing -- it felt like everyone was just trying to get through the day with as little effort as possible. The head teacher often showed up to school looking like she had just rolled out of bed, wearing rubber slippers to work. When you drop your child off to her, she's sitting on a small chair eating her breakfast and doesn't even glance up from her phone while greeting you. The first major red flag was when a teacher told me there was a conflict involving my child and another student. She instructed that student to "push him back to teach him a lesson," in her words. I brought this up directly and respectfully, expecting correction or at the very least acknowledgment. Instead, the concern was dismissed and denied. Another ongoing concern was how the school handled communication about behavior. Anytime there was an incident, the responsibility was immediately placed on my child, without any explanation of what led up to the situation or what steps were taken to guide or support him. I repeatedly asked what strategies were being used to help him learn and adjust, and I never received a clear answer. Instead of collaboration or problem-solving, I was met with blame, vague statements, and no evidence of meaningful intervention. The final breaking point came after my child came home with visible facial injuries on two separate days -- first a bruise on his cheek, then scratches and a cut beneath his eye. Neither incident was reported to me. I only found out because my child told me what happened at home. When I asked the school why I had not been notified, I was met again with inconsistent explanations rather than concern or accountability. That's ultimately why I made the decision to withdraw my child. No parent should have to wonder whether their child is safe, supervised, or treated with basic care and respect during the school day. In my experience, this preschool did not provide a nurturing or professional environment, and communication regarding incidents and safety was lacking. I hope that by sharing my experience, other parents can make informed decisions and avoid going through the stress and concern we did.

She gradually showed signs of withdrawing, getting anxious, angry and difficult, and finally terror when I'd drop her off.

No one came forward. I didn't want to pursue it any further as there are good employees there, but not good enough if they weren't willing to stick up for the children when something wrong was going on. Maybe that person is no longer there, but I just wanted parents who are thinking of sending their children here to be EXTREMELY WARY. I CANNOT EXPRESS THIS ENOUGH. My daughter transitioned well into another albeit more costly program, BUT at least its SAFE, she LOVES going there, she LOOKS FORWARD to going, AND the program is known for its QUALITY education.
