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 was looking for a preschool that wasn't a daycare. All the preschools I found are just that,…read moredaycare with education. I don't need my child to eat snacks, play at recess, or nap on my dime. Being a stay at home mom, I can take care of this stuff. What I need is a professional preschool teacher who knows how to hold my child's attention enough to teach her something. I can teach my daughter too, but after a few minutes she goofs off and just doesn't take me too seriously. I found the perfect solution! At Planet Preschool, Tamara Jenkins, who's been a preschool teacher for 15 years. You might better know her as the "Kindergarten Coach." As of almost a year, she decided to open up her own preschool in her own home. She transformed her lower floor of her Kapolei home into a full fledged preschool. Her methods are to learn through play. Children will do art, play, sing with a specific curriculum in mind, so kids don't realize their learning because they're essentially playing. Genius idea! Mrs. Jenkins believes each child is different and thus learns at a different pace so she guides her teaching specific to each child's pace. If one child already knows her ABC's, then there's no need to waste a ton of time on it, so she'll move on to reading for that particular child. Her goal is to prepare your child for kindergarten but won't stop there. If your child wants to read or beyond, Mrs. Jenkins will take your child as far as your child wants to go. Currently she's got about 5 students in each class, so there's plenty of one on one time for each child. Each class will have a maximum of 10 students. You have a choice of either Tues and Thurs classes, Mon, Wed, and Fri classes, or daily classes. All classes start at 9am or 12:30pm. She's thinking about starting an afternoon class. I believe she's also starting a Kinderjam, a mommy and me class that incorporates "fun, exciting, and high-energy Music and Movement program that emphasizes the kinesthetic and tactile learning of pre-academic skills and concepts while promoting positive parent engagement." I was so desperate to find a preschool program that's not a daycare and not a parent participation preschool that was affordable. I feel so fortunate that I've finally found it! School tuition is about to increase a bit unless you enroll by May. Still affordable, but every bit of savings count. Because she's holding classes at her own home, that's why she can afford to offer classes such a low tuition rate. She's licensed so there's no need to worry. She doesn't have the fancy computers or traditional workbooks of typical preschool, but she makes it work. Check it out!

Hours: The days and hours are limited between two days and 2 hours for each day. I hope they are able to add other days in the future. They are open during the summer with the same days and hours as the school year. Price: It is expensive! It's definitely an investment in your child's education. Be prepared to pay a large amount up front to take advantage of their discount which can save you almost $8 per hour. You don't have to be a student at the school to attend tutoring at this location since tutoring is held after school ends. Overall, I do recommend this tutoring program. It is expensive but worth it. I signed up my daughter with the hopes that reading will vastly improve before the start of the new school year.

Wow, I have been waiting months to write this review to see if they would rectify anything but can…read moreconfirm that I am super glad my child does not go to Trace. We considered it since it is super well priced and conveniently located. I didn't love how small it is and that there is no outdoor space. Kids love being outdoors! But it was worth considering. During the tour we were given a waitlist form and told it is $50 to hold the spot. Great! In mid-August I physically drove to the school to hand them the form and the check. I check my bank accounts at the beginning of each month, and thought it was odd it was not cashed at the beginning of September. I email the school to say that I noticed it has not been cash and am confirming receipt. NO RESPONSE I email again a week later. NO RESPONSE I start to think maybe something is wrong with their email. I have conversed via email before, which is how I scheduled the tour to begin with. I confirmed it is the same email address. I am also worried that maybe they lost my check and they are intentionally ignoring me until they find it. I don't know what is going on, but I go directly to their website and message them through their online portal. NO RESPONSE It is a huge red flag to me when I am actively attempting to give an organization money and they are not responsive. If they don't respond to me trying to give them money, how are they going to treat me once they have it? I do not know what their excuse is, but at this point, I don't care. Short staffed? Server down? Too busy? All not great things for a preschool. I decide to call Trace at the end of October. So they have had my check for over 2 months and completely ignored all attempts for me to contact them. Trace: I have you're check right here, I'll cash it today Me: oh...ok. I have tried emailing a couple times. Trace: Yes, I got your emails. Ok...no apology, no explanation. Just telling me they've had my check sitting there for over 2 months and have actively been avoiding my messages. Honestly if she had been remorseful, provided an explanation or even been remotely nice over the phone, I would have considered still sending my child, but this conversation was the nail in the coffin for me. We really did not like the way we were treated as potential parents and decided to go elsewhere out of principle. I would definitely not recommend them and I would never send my child there.

I went to so many schools overthinking each and every decision about where we should register her. And the waitlists are the worst in Hawaii because you don't have a firm answer - you just wait - wondering when a spot will come up and if they will call. Seagull School Ko'Olina was not our first decision I will admit, but only because of where it is located. I am so glad they called us! It is a hidden gem well worth the drive. We have had the other schools call and we have no intentions of moving her. The teachers, the school, the front office, everything continue to impress me. My daughter gets the very most out of the school. The book fairs, the teachers (not just her own - they all know her name!), extra programs like soccer, the play, the curriculum, and the friends - it is a wonderful balance. She has learned so many things thanks to the teachers. Moving to Hawaii was hard - I worried about my daughter adjusting to new things and places, but she is so happy at Seagull Ko'Olina and has learned so much. If you are on Yelp trying to make a decision about preschools and which one is the "best," pick Seagull KoOlina - you will be happy you did.
