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!

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.

Rosary Preschool is run by the Dominican Sisters who are amazing, helpful and oh so dearly friendly! There are three classrooms, two are for 4 yr. olds and one are for the 3 yr. olds. They have a conference room (area) as well, which I'm sure they'll be holding their Christmas Program there this years, I'm sure they've held it there from the years before. Also a great play area space located in the back of the school. The 'whole' preschool is not much, but it's enough for the toddlers to easily get used to & nothing is ever too far or too near. (: My daughter already loves school and enjoys the activities and lessons she's learning. There's always three teachers to each classroom & they surely do care for each child dearly. The atmosphere is so calm with patience, it's lovely. (: They also have the option for the kids to bring home lunch, or they had a monthly meal plan, which is approved by a nutritionist to set what is served on what day. Oh, the kids are eating the goods too I'm telling you! Shoyu Chicken, Chicken Adobo, Mac & Cheese, Chicken Nuggets...yeah so good right! They get really healthy snacks of fruits/crackers/cookies w/ milk &/or juice. So good! (:

We moved to the area and we were scared about the education that our daughter was receiving and we came across the preschool. I grew up going to a Catholic school and I wasn't sure how they were going to be. So far it has been an amazing experience. The sisters are caring and loving. They are flexible and take the time with the children and they are patient. My daughter is finally been educated properly. She takes home homework and is learning so much while she is there. I am extremely happy with the education and care they provide.

He had some struggles at times, but the teachers and staff there were so patient and supportive. They continued to work with him and help him improve. He always felt loved and that everyone cared about his success. We are so appreciative of all they did for him in preparation for Kindergarten. Besides the great staff, some other things we really liked about the school were: -School events that parents were able to attend, such as their Christmas program and graduation. -The school is very safe with a keypad code needed to enter, along with security cameras throughout. -User friendly app. Almost everything is done through Procare, including signing your child in and out, paying your tuition, and updates from the school. -Constant communication from the teachers and staff. It was nice to get digital updates if something happened (pictures too!), as well as verbal updates when we would pick up our son. -Nice open AND covered area for the students to play on. There is a nice play structure, along with a new bike path for the students to play on outside. There is also a large covered area that the students can use if it is raining. Our son is definitely going to miss this school and his teachers. He had so much fun learning about different topics (he was always excited to share what they learned about that day in the car ride home) and grew a lot as a person. We are so glad we decided to send him here and would recommend this school to anyone!

We will really miss this school so much! It is hard to believe that I won't see the staff there on a daily basis anymore. :( Everyone is fantastic. The teachers are so patient, loving, supportive & kind. You can tell they really care for children and my children have always felt so safe and loved. The administrative staff are very organized & friendly. They do a lot of fun things for the kids and there are lots of opportunities for parents to join in on the fun. (I loved volunteering for the different events) Tuition may be a bit more than others in Mililani, however, it's worth it!! The campus is great! One thing I loved was that the building is secure, so parents needed a special code to enter. It's not like the other preschools where anyone can just walk in. There is also a big lawn for running, an updated playground, a bike path and a big covered lanai for rainy days. The classrooms are big in comparison to the other preschools I've seen and are very clean and orderly. The classrooms also have their own outdoor covered lanais. It really is just an excellent school all around and we were very happy with our experience.

As he's gotten older he's continued to love going to RLA. He's always happy to see his teachers and is all smiles when we drop him off. I really appreciate that they provide meals (breakfast and lunch / snacks). The lunches are impressive (IMO) and expose my son to a lot of foods we don't have at home. On another note, we liked RLA so much that we enrolled my daughter for the summer before she started kindergarten. The class size was small (which has both plusses and minuses, depending on what is important to you). Mainly we liked the curriculum and the amount of hands on activities they were able to do with a small class size. The teacher incorporated some pre-k activities since I wanted to make sure my daughter was prepared for Kindergarten.
