Hoʻohua Preschool

Welcome to Hoʻohua Early Learning Organization

Hoʻohua was started as a way to provide keiki on the Waianae Coast with access to early childhood education where they become kindergarten ready while also being exposed to and learning about native hawaiian culture in a developmentally appropriate manner by kanaka in our lāhui.
In providing this service we also help further uplift our lāhui by providing sustainable employment for our community.

Why did we choose Hoʻohua as a name?

Hoʻo refers to causation, the reason something happens. Hua is a reference to flowers as kanaka often refer to their keiki as flowers and means: to produce or yield. To become fruitful.
Hoʻohua being the causation for fruitfulness. The work that goes into making a seed, flower, and eventually, fruit.
We used this in conjunction with the image of the ʻohelo berry* in itʻs various stages as our logo to represent the work that goes into helping our keiki become fruitful; the work that goes into ensuring our keiki thrive, because when our keiki thrive, so does our lāhui.
