Preschool Programs — Waiʻanae Coast Early Childhood Services

Preschool Programs

Quality care, year round

Program Directors: Donna Brzezowski and Doreen Nagum.

We are implementing The Creative Curriculum because it is in alignment with the Hawaiʻi Preschool Content Standards for Four-Year-Olds and meets all of the standards for effective early childhood curricula by the NAEYC. It is based on the latest research on how children learn best and has been shown through experimental studies to improve classroom quality and promote the school readiness of preschool children.

We operate year round and are closed for holidays and 9 training days per year. Care includes USDA-approved breakfast, lunch and snack.
