Early Childhood Hoʻokahua - Year-Round

Early Childhood

This program centers young Hawaiian families and the bond between mākua and keiki as the foundation for everything that comes next. It is a safe and supportive space where families are met with care, respect, and consistency.

Hoʻokahua walks alongside parents ages 18–26 with keiki ages 0–5, nurturing secure parent-child relationships while creating room for healing, stability, and growth. Cultural connection, trusted mentors, and caring adults are woven through every interaction.

You will build daily parenting skills, strengthen your relationship with your keiki, connect with other families, and access guidance around housing, education, and employment in a supportive environment that honors your strengths.

Families grow confidence, deepen cultural grounding, and build capacity to thrive together in ways that last beyond the program.
