Busy Buddies Hawai’i specializes in kindergarten readiness, teaching your child fundamental skills that build confidence. Comprehensive learning threads are incorporated through all learning levels from ages 2 to 4.
Developmentally Appropriate Practices® is our primary medium. We teach a broad range of abilities and encourage your child’s uniqueness. Our staff builds on your child’s strengths and helps them reach their full potential in cognitive, social, physical, emotional, aesthetic, and linguistic areas.
We believe that gentle structure enriches your child’s day and captures an abundance of learning situations. Our “Ohana Time” teaches classroom family and participation, and we learn calendar concepts and community. Later, we learn numbers, alphabet, and fine motor skills.
Your child has many learning choices to explore independently and increase their self-esteem and confidence. We teach and model “PONO” ensuring that your child is safe in their school and learning environment.
At Busy Buddies Hawai’i, we foster the love of learning, stimulate natural curiosity, and bring out your child’s best. We are excited to work with your keiki! Welcome to our Ohana!
