Hoʻāla Program.
Our keiki are our most precious resource. They are our link to a better future for Hawai‘i and the foundation we lay for them today will help to grow their confidence, build a love for learning, and create lifelong healthy habits. INPEACE’s Hoʻāla Program is a year-round outreach program for families with children, prenatal to five-year-old, designed to provide important information about Early Childhood Education (ECE) and preschool services available in the community.
Through guided, confidential assistance, our Hoʻāla recruiters provide families with direct one-on-one assistance in identifying and completing the application process for a preschool in their community that best meets the needs of their child and their family. We also provide assistance in applying for financial supports to subsidize tuition and program costs, which benefits families by keeping a significant portion of their income accessible for other household needs.
We believe in building trust by meeting families where they’re at, no matter the situation. Our Hoʻāla program recruiters reach out to families by canvassing door-to-door and by setting up informational kiosks at various community locations and events.
