Ho‘olohe, is an important communication skill.
Our baby quilt (kapa) and T-shirt activities show how all children learn through their senses and interaction with their `Ohana and `Aina.

Our Program Specialists provide: Culturally-based information about prenatal health, childbirth, child development, and child rearing	Activities that help families encourage their keiki’s interest in learning
The home is a keiki’s first classroom and early experiences affect a keiki’s education success	Extended family members are the keiki’s first experience with the concept of community
Our philosophy is based on the following set of beliefs: Mothers and fathers are a keiki’s first teachers and they want their children to succeed.	We help mothers and fathers recognize and build on the family values and cultural strengths that contribute to their keiki ’s educational success
