Hello. While there have been several posts about preschool,
I would like to take a flight.
I have just received an acceptance letter from Central Union Preschool. There are a few people around me who were dropped on the first announcement but have
received an advanced acceptance notice from Central Union Preschool.
I would like to know how many students are accepted to Punahou and Iolani after preschool. Do some students go from Central Union Preschool to public kinder?
It seems to be called one of the top three schools, but there seem to be a lot of students who have been turned down. … I hear that the rate of students going on to higher education is not so good these days. … I am not sure ！
If you have actually had a student attend, graduated, or turned down, please give me your opinion.
Thank you very much.

My younger child is now at Central Union and will be graduating soon. My older child also graduated last year.
The school is, as you said, a very nobile preschool for children to play and have fun ！

However, in the last 3-4 years, the percentage of students from Central Union going to Punahou or Iolani has decreased dramatically.
It is also true that parents of graduates are comprehnding.

The exam is a real edge, but as those of you who graduated from Central Union this year know,
there may or may not be two students from each class who pass Punahou. Iolani is almost never there. Many of the waitlist are also in the 100's or low 100's and will probably not get acceptance letters, including my son.
We were accepted to Midpac and Le Jardin, so we will go to one of them, but
Last year with my older son and again this year, there are
a lot of kids going to Public Kinder who didn't get into any of the other schools because of the entrance exams. Maybe half or more than half.

Of course, the test is a factor, but the percentage of students from Central Union going to Punahou and Iolani kinder is very low
compared to 5 years ago.
If you are not concerned about the results of the entrance exam, Central Union is a very fun preschool for children ！.

Postscript.
Why I sent both of my children to Central Union, because
location and DropOff /PickUp were better at the same school for both of them （ last year ） and
both to my first choice Montessori Community School. I couldn't get in, and even at age 4, I tried to transfer to two schools, Montessori and Hana Hau'oli, but still couldn't get in.
These two schools have over 95% of their graduates being accepted to Punahou and Iolani.
If you are interested in Punahou or Iolani, both schools take a small number of students, so it is very difficult to get in, but
if you get in, the acceptance rate is over 95% ！
Montessori Community School publishes the school's admission status every year ！ for your reference Montessori Community School publishes its admission status every year. > for your information ！

Saya, I agree with you ！
Montessori Comunity School in Makiki is really popular and difficult...

Montessori has been used by the founders of Amazon, Google, Facebook, former President Obama, and many others...
The school's enrollment rate is high enough to publish the results （ Punahou and Iolani ） are very attractive and I have expressed my enthusiasm for 2 and 3 year olds for 2 years in a row. I've expressed my enthusiasm for them for two years in a row at ages 2 and 3... Tears
I put them on my Waitlist, but I didn't hear from them last year, and I haven't heard from them this year either...
I'm still waiting for another month and a half for this year, hoping for a chance...

My son has been accepted by Central Union and St. Clements, and we are waiting for Montessori
while paying the deposit and holding on to both. A friend of mine who is also a pre-school tutor has also been accepted to Central Union and is
waitinglist for Montessori and St. Clement's.

I am waiting for St. Clement's. Central Union is a relatively easy preschool to get into.
Last year they were all accpeted, and this year there were a lot of applications, but as a result, it seems that many declined and are being accepted one by one.
It depends on what your criteria are for choosing a preselection.
If you live in a town, Central Union is conveniently located and has a good environment.
If you are definitely in Punahou or Iolani ！ then Central Union is a good choice: .... What do you think ....

Montessori in Makiki and Central Union,
are at different levels of comparison ！
Montessori in Makiki has a 99% acceptance rate to Punahou and Iolani
and currently has a higher
Punahou Iolani placement rate than Hanahauoli, where my child goes.
Montessori in Makiki is not a school you want to get into.

One of the best things about Central Union is that environment. It's wonderfully "nice " and I often talk with other mothers about how I would want to go here ！ if I were a child myself.

Tennis Courts at Ala Moana Beach Park

  • Alamoana Tennis

  • 2024/09/19 10:33

There has been a protest against the conversion of 2-3 tennis court spaces at Ala Moana Beach Park into dedicated pickleball courts.
Pickleball's reasons are that "tennis is becoming less popular" and "I don't see anyone using the tennis courts". However, the courts at Ala Moana Beach Park are the busiest tennis courts in Honolulu. There is no reason why you would not see people using the courts, unless it is raining or there is a storm.
Pickleball is very popular and I enjoy playing pickleball myself. New pickleball courts are popping up in Kakaako, Manoa, Hawaii Kai, and Kehi, which is great. However, I strongly oppose this protest because I think it is not right to take away the place to play other sports. I think it would be better if a new pickleball court was built in Ala Moana Park.

I thought it might be a good idea to ask for help here, but I wanted to post this to let as many people as possible know about it.
If you are a tennis player or have played tennis at Ala Moana courts, I would appreciate it if you could support me from the link below. Thank you in advance.

Can you tell me the market rate for babysitting?

I am looking for a full time nanny in Honolulu.
How much would be reasonable to pay per month for a 9-5, M-F nanny ？
I see on nanny websites and other sites that the hourly rate is about $25.
That would be $200 a day, or $4,000 a month.
Is this a normal price for a babysitter ？
Please let me know.

  • 2024/09/09 02:10

I have completed my J1 training and am now back in Japan and looking for a company that can support my E2VISA from Japan.
My question is, are there any requirements in terms of age and work experience to switch from J1 VISA to E2 VISA? ？
For J1 VISA, 5 years of experience in food and beverage including part-time job as a student was required.
I myself had no problem because I had more than 5 years of restaurant experience, but I have heard that there are some people who have less restaurant experience who have changed their career history to 5 years.
I wonder if it is possible to renew my E2VISA with more than 5 years of experience in food and beverage ？
I would like to know if there is anyone who is familiar with E2VISA support and is currently working with E2VISA ！ Thank you very much. Please ！

Please let me know if you are familiar with UH.

Question

I am a freshman at UH who started school yesterday, and I would like to attend my cousin's wedding in Japan on November 10(日), but is it possible to take a day off from college for the wedding?

I think that schools are closed on 11/5 and 11/11 holidays, so I am thinking of leaving after school on 11/1 for 10 nights and 12 days (4 days off from school) or leaving after school on 11/4 for 7 nights and 9 days (3 days off from school). I am thinking about it.

School just started yesterday, but I have to reply to the wedding and I also have to buy plane tickets, so if I can take a day off, is it ok to tell my teacher earlier?
