History
Report
The philosophical base of kindergartens developed in Hawaii through contacts made by Henry Castle, a scholarly son of the early missionaries Samuel N. and Mary Castle. In his college studies, Henry became a friend and colleague of several of the leading American progressives of the period. En route home to Hawai'i, he drowned at sea.
Our Philosophy
Report
Research has repeatedly shown that a high-quality preschool experience stimulates brain development and promotes social, cognitive, and physical gains in young children. The quality of the experience that a child has in the first 5 years of life lays the foundation for the kind of adult that child becomes.
