From my moment we stepped onto the campus the vibe and atmosphere was nothing but negative. The…read morecampus was dated, with poor, unkept landscaping, rusty gates and fences, and dated equipment and structures. On our son's very first day of school there was nobody there to welcome him or attempt to soothe his understandably high levels of fear and anxiety. His angst was met with cold and harsh reactions, no smiles, no understanding or compassion. Upon leaving him we immediately felt uneasy but hoped it was just us as parents being overly anxious and protective. However, the situations worsened. Aides and teachers lacked communication, supervision, and soon thereafter even proper care and hygiene for our son. The staff was unable to tell us if our son ate, if/how long he napped, and their cold and careless attitude and disposition seemingly worsened by the day. When we picked him up daily the updates were forced, lacking in basic information, and had no undertones of care or concern for either ourselves as Parents nor for our son who were all adjusting to his new school environment and family dynamic. On the second week we dropped our 2 year old son off at school at 8am. Upon picking him up at around 230pm he was wearing the exact same diaper! His diaper was heavily saturated a soiled! The situation was photographed and properly documented immediately by my wife. Upon notifying administration they admitted to breaching procedures regarding diaper changes. They allegedly spoke with the staff who claimed they had checked and changed our son. However, the diapers we provided to the school were NOT the diapers he was wearing upon pickup. Their claims and stories were blatantly false. We dis-enrolled our son due to our mounting concerns and requested a pro-rated refund for the reminder of the month. The school refused. The school lacks modern updates, but more concerning is the staff we dealt with lacked the care, compassion, and patience that young preschool aged children need.

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

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!

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.

The owner's son, Kyle is unable to empathize with families like myself because we are just $$ to him. Make sure you thoroughly read the application before signing because apparently, they (Administration) will use it against you should you have an issue with them. This review solely based on my experience with them. I, along with my siblings & now my children have attended & graduated Alphabetland Preschool (Waipahu Location). It was my child's first day back to school since last year, and after dropping her off to her class, I went into the office to make payment for the month. Although I was aware of the late fee for late payment and with the 10th being over the weekend, I asked the office staff (which then asked Mr. Kyle ARIZALA for permission to do so). Please keep in mind that my family's co-pay for tuition is $11.00 and this was my first time asking for leniency. Kyle was very stern on being unable to possibly waiving the $50 fee- making a strict example of how if I was an exception then he would have to make an exception for everyone else. I felt I was being treated very poorly by a member of administration- He didn't want to hear me out or perhaps even bothered to provide other options to this issue. Kyle insisted, I should have figured it out. I wrote an email addressing my concerns and in return was given a hand-delivered letter by my child's teacher the following day in response to my email. I've spoken and asked the teachers and aides about him, and I have not heard ONE positive attribute in regards to Kyle. So FYI, any issue presented to management is considered "confrontational" and deemed grounds for dismissal. What a joke! Someone enroll Kyle in a Public Relations class so he can learn how to efficiently deal with people.

I love this school! My girls are still attending here but I want to talk about the teachers that…read morethey had last year. My daughter learned so much from Ms. Nelsy (4 year olds teacher) while only being in her class for 5 months. She entered late because I originally had her in the HCAP (free preschool) but was approved for POD and was able to choose this school for her. At first, she didn't know how to write her name, count to 50, recognize letters, but then I was so proud to get her end of the year report card because she was able to do all of that. My daughter does tell me she misses Ms. Nelsy but now she is in the big girl class with Ms. Ancheta and I'm sure she's going to learn so much more! I think they're teaching them how to read which is amazing because she will be ahead when she enters Kindergarten the next school year. My other daughter had Ms. Charmaine (2 years old class) and I'm telling you that she's definitely a teacher you would want for your 2 year old because she has so much PATIENCE. My daughter was crying all day the first couple days. Sometimes she would even throw a tantrum to come home with me, it was so sad BUT I had to drop her off everyday so that she would get used to it and she did. Couple months in, she was just walking right into class like a big girl. Ms. Charmaine also helped me with potty training. My daughter was already trained with us at home but I was afraid she would have accidents at school so she would go in diapers but finally I asked Ms. Charmaine if she could help me and if it would be okay if my daughter wore underwears instead of diapers to school. She had a few accidents the first couple days and then after that, she was finally potty trained at school too. So thankful for Ms. Charmaine. My daughter's teacher now is Ms. Ashley (3 Year Olds Teacher) and she does mention that she will cry when Ms. Charmaine picks up the 2 year olds in the mornings and she's left behind but after that she's fine. She is having so much fun in Ms. Ashley's class and she actually says her name too "Mommy I go Ashley's class" it's so cute. I can't wait to see how much she will learn.

That being said, this school was awful for military kids. If you're a military family considering this place, please reconsider. There was a such a huge implicit bias against non-Hawaiian kids, ESPECIALLY if they were military. Due to being military, we've been to quite a few catholic schools, this was hands down the worst. As someone from the Midwest hearing about the Ohana and kindness in the reviews, we were so excited, but were ultimately let down. The admin was inexperienced, the curriculum was inconsistent, and it honestly felt like grade school daycares with little taught outside of very basic English and math. I cannot discourage military families enough, they honestly hate military families. This is a catholic school in the absolute loosest of term. 10/10 would not recommend sending any child you care about to this school.
