Yes, another win-win!

After reviewing all of the program details and realizing what we are really all about…”children first” and creating a positive experience for children, we’ve revamped some of the “rules”.

Along with SATISFACTION GUARANTEED…we will now offer single class sign-ups and drop-ins.  We’ve got additional registration procedures for those parents that need that kind of service, but if you need it and you got it!

Call Sheila @ 808 779-3878 and we’ll make it happen!

Yep, you heard it right!

Satisfaction Guaranteed! 

What does that mean?  Well, it means we are going to stand behind our classes and ensure your children will get what we promised you…A FUN, ENGAGING and RELEVANT learning environment integrated with language arts, math and social studies!

We are all about creating a win-win for everyone involved, so here’s the simple details!

If you are not happy with the knowledge, activities and guidance your child is receiving, we’ll refund your money.  

In addition, if your situation changes and you are no longer able to attend CONNECTIONS!, we will pro-rate the costs of your unused classes to be used in the future or refund your money.

It seems like only yesterday that a group of parents at Kahala got together to find out what we all wanted to do regarding furlough Fridays…We all voiced our desires. 

• We want more than child care!
• We want our children engaged and learning!
• We want our teachers in the classrooms!
• We want a program at Kahala!

After much listening from both parents and a few experienced teachers, the plan for an enrichment program was born.  It tickled my heart and exercised my mind not to become passionate about what was happening.  It wasn’t exactly what I had dreamt about just 4 weeks prior, when I sheepishly sent a proposal to provide an enrichment program for 3rd thru 5th grade.  

I still couldn’t believe it.  Kahala was possibly getting their enrichment program back-maybe.  It wasn’t going to happen exactly like before, but the possibility was surely closer than ever.  Its funny how things work, especially when the PTO decided not to provide a program to fill the void left by furlough Fridays.  This left me to either shelve the plan and move on to help with the HawaiiEducationMatters March or to keep moving full speed ahead…on my own with alittle help from my friends.

You guessed it.  Here I am moving at light speed to ensure an engaged and learning environment for all students to start in just 7 days.  I can only hope that the energy and spark we saw from the parents will light our CONNECTIONS! classrooms come Oct 23rd.  We’ll be ready!

Save alittle with an early bird special–available for all those signing up on or before Monday, Oct 19th.  Check it out at our Registration page and sign up today!

As always, if you’ve got any questions, concerns or feedback, please do NOT hesitate to call sheila at 779-3878.

Happy holiday!  Yes, a much needed break to spend an engaging day with the kids…

Isn’t all of our efforts greared to provide an engaging and enriching environment for the kids?  Isn’t it the really reason why we cart them around to soccer, dance & music lessons, cooking classes or even those expensive tutoring classes?

So today comes as a reminder why the push to get enriching programs back into the schools for all children…Friday CONNECTIONS! (instead of furlough Friday classes)! 

Why?  It is all about ensuring they are spending time engaging their mind as well as their bodies in FUN and RELEVANT experiences.  We know (and the research shows) the more we can set a foundation of curiosity and a love for learning within an environment that invites creativity and acceptance then the easier it will be for them to see what they are learning in school REALLY does relate to the world around them.

So, what ever you are doing today…Have an fun and adventurous day!

Yahoo…we are opening up the registration for our furlough Friday’s CONNECTIONS! program.  This really has become an opportunity to make a difference in a child’s life like no other opportunity…what a silver lining in a really dark cloud…

Can you say FUN, you got it!  I was lucky enough to attend the Hawaii Association for Education of Young Children today and have been jotting down some really cool ideals for the upcoming CONNECTIONS! 

FUN, engaging and relevant is the underlying requirement to get added to my list of “experiences” for the kids!

Early Bird sign up til October 16th will save you money!  Sign up today!  Payment plans are available…check ‘em out!

Aloha and welcome to the inaugural post of a unique leadership and life skills development program for children called CONNECTIONS!

CONNECTIONS is all about building leaders through connecting academics to positive life skills and community involvement.

CONNECTIONS is a series of progressive classes that connects the student to a real world “discussion” and the unlimited opportunities to make a difference. 

Classes include experiential activities, discussions, mentoring, coaching and exposure to foundational knowledge about oneself and community.  Students will learn to strategize, plan and identify what it takes to turn thoughts and words into a successful outcome.

Check out the detailed class description and feel free to connect with questions or comments!
