Kinder & Elemental's Afterschool Program

Problem / Need advice

I am gathering information on a kinder to be enrolled in next year. The location will be in Town.

The afterschool program is offered by the YMCA or the A + program by Kama'aina Kids, depending on the school, is there any difference in which program is better, etc. ?

Most of the town's A + seems to be waitlisted at popular schools, is it difficult to get in from Kinder ? since there seems to be a waiting list, will I be able to get in by the time I get to Grade 1 if I keep getting on the waitlist?

If I can't get into A +, I would like to be able to take part in the paid art and dance programs at the school, but I wonder if this is also difficult since there are so many participants compared to the capacity ?

I have parents who both work. I would like to know how you manage to pick up your children and work if you cannot get into A + ( if you have no relatives who can support you ). A + .


Schools I am considering are Liholiho, Ali'olani, Hokulani, Waialae, Wilson, Aina Haina, Waikiki, etc in GE.
Best regards.

My son went to Wilson until this year.

I think there is a priority of both parents working or attending school.
I was lucky enough to get him into A+ from Kinder, but
in 3rd grade we switched to nearby Wisley Church.
(They pick you up at school. Pick-up is at Church)

The reason is that
they pick me up and drop me off for my lessons at the commpark.
The thing is that they also keep the children during spring break, etc. and it was cheaper than the YMCA.

I think some schools have other means besides school A+, Kama'aina Kids, and YMCA depending on the school.

A+ at Waialae is on a first-come, first-served basis. Every year, the school sends out information about registration, so at the time registration opens, just be on standby and you will get in first.

The nice thing about Waialae is that the A+ staff is employed by the school ( not affiliated with any other ) so you don't have to travel, they see you until 5:30, and they see you during part of summer break and fall break. The cafeteria and school grounds are separated, and exercise and indoor time are organized, which seems quite fun.

If you mean GE, we recommend that you submit your GE as soon as possible, because if the school is slow in responding to your acceptance, it is possible that the first year's application is over.

Wai'alae has a unique curriculum and may not be suitable for families who want their children to study hard, so it would be a good idea to gather information on that as well. It is well received by families who like hula, music, and the natural environment of Hawaii.

Thanks for the information ! I didn't know there was an after school program at your church. Transportation to and from the lessons at CommuPark is a registration-based activity that you do at the park ? That would be helpful. As for the schools A+, Kama'aina Kids, and YMCA, am I correct in understanding that they are all on school property and do not require transportation ??

Thank you ! I will try to get GE out as soon as possible after the new year as you advised.
I understand that Waialae is a fun place for kids including afterschool !
In other schools, do they have to move for A + ・ ・ ? In every school, I see children playing together on the grounds. I was wondering if that was A + because I see them all playing together on the grounds.

Surely both are still short.
I'll have to call each manufacturer or go online to find out the difference between the estimated repair cost and the
new replacement cost.

"The refrigerator is flooded" means that you have put too much stuff inside. We recommend that you rearrange the food inside a little.
I think the same reason applies to the washing machine.

To answer the above question differently, you can extend the warranty on expensive items by paying with a Credit Card that has an Extend warranty. After that, most whirlpool refrigerators are covered with appliance care for $ 21.99 per month. There used to be a Credit Card with Extend Warranty that didn't have an annual fee, but there are very few these days. If you know of one, please let me know ?.

In the U.S., the most common practice is to replace rather than repair electrical appliances that are out of warranty.
The reason for this is that in most cases the repair cost is the same as the new replacement cost.
First of all, the labor fee ( and labor time ) of the repair technician is much higher than in Japan.
If you must repair a product, do so only for products that you have fond memories of or something like that.

Later dental insurance exclusions

Question

A few months after I was treated by a dentist, I was told that my insurance company was reluctant to pay out and that I might not be covered.
Is it common in Hawaii to get treatment because it was explained to me that it was covered by insurance and that was the price, but then be charged later ?
I can only assume that the doctor is immature.

It won't happen. You should take responsibility for your own 窶帴(dentist窶帴) mistakes with your dentist.

I used to work for a dentist and I don't know what the treatment is, but there is a code for each treatment to scrub the insurance claim, so the amount of coverage depends on that treatment. When they give you an estimate, they should also know the percentage of coverage, so they can tell you which part they are saying they will not cover ?

The estimate is just that, an estimate, and if the insurance company does not pay, the patient will be responsible for the items on the estimate as well.

If it's just verbally communicated, it's possible that they can negotiate and waive it.

I am taking my dog to Japan for a 4 week long vacation this time. All the paperwork and inspections are done, but I have a question here. I've already done all the paperwork and tests, but I have a question: how much did it cost to take my dog to Japan? > Blood test $ 460
Pre-departure medical examination $ 450

With this blood test and medical examination $ it cost me less than 900 ?

Is this normal?
By the way, the veterinary clinic I went to was Aina Haina Vet Clinic.
Thank you very much.

Hi

I looked at the records of when I returned home with my dog to Corona pre-1919 (2019年).

Rabies vaccine 1st $ 19(保険対象)
Rabies vaccine 2nd $ 19(保険対象)
Health checkup(Blood draw, antibody test, first visit etc.) $ 450
Blood test $ 523
I was taken care of at a clinic on the mountain side of Ala Moana.
This is about the same amount of money.

It's been a while, but I've traveled back and forth between Japan and Hawaii with my dog several times. I think the price is reasonable.

I have had art makeup for 20 years and I touch up every few years as it fades a bit after a few years.

They will counsel you on the design of your eyebrows before you decide. Since they are hand carved, they are put in like individual eyebrows, which I like because it is natural. I am YUMI and I have an ad in Lighthouse, and the phone number is 808-386-4914

What can you tell me about Parental Caregivers (Hawaii version)?

I recently moved in with my American husband's 86 year old mother.
I have a feeling that she is suffering from dementia.
I am concerned that this may become a problem in the future, and I am wondering if I will be able to leave my mother-in-law alone when I return to Japan with my husband.

Please let me know if you know anything about this.
① How can we get someone to come and cook and clean as senior care ?
② ① is there anything covered by pensioner's health insurance ?
③ If the dementia is severe, there is a possibility of moving into an institution. is possible, where should I ask for such information ?

If you don't mind, please let me know. Thank you very much.

Hello.

① Care givers can be asked for a single visit.
We used 「 Home Instead 」 when we went back home, but if you search for senior care you will find many.
You can ask for 3 hours or 24 hours.

② I assume by pensioner's health insurance you mean Medicare ?
I don't think it is available as far as I know, but
check with your mother if she has long-term care insurance.

③ My mother-in-law ended up in a nursing home, but
at that time she was in a hospital → facility, so the hospital referred her to several places. I think they were thinking about the possibility of being transported to a hospital in case something happened.

My mother-in-law did not have dementia, but there was a dementia ward in the facility.

First, we need to check if your mother has long-term care insurance.
My mother-in-law joined it with her company when she was working, and I paid for it myself after she retired, but I was very grateful.

Do you have any recommendations for a new teacher who is currently receiving psychological counseling in Hawaii ? I would prefer a Japanese-speaking teacher, but if it is difficult, an English-speaking teacher would be fine.

I have a lot of anxiety in my life and I have to do a lot of checking in my daily life.
Was your insurance covered ( We are HMSA ) and we would be happy to hear about your experience with fees.

Also, I have lived in Hawaii for almost 10 years now and have little trouble making a living, but with the rising cost of living, I am very concerned about my vague future and not being financially independent. But now I have a small child and working full time is difficult ・ ・. Even a few years after childbirth, I somehow don't feel better all the time.

I have few friends and no one to talk to about my true feelings.
If you have experienced anxiety like mine, I would appreciate it if you could share how you overcame it.

I am so sorry for your loss. I know it is hard.
A few years ago, there was a Japanese-speaking counselor at HMSA's online counseling service.
I think it was Arika, sorry, I don't remember her name. I believe her insurance covered all the expenses.
I think she may still be there ?, so please look for her on her own page on HMSA.

Since you are post-partum, is there any possibility of a hormonal imbalance ? You could consult your doctor.
I have had severe PMS and have been given something like a light stabilizer.
They may be able to refer you to a counselor. Take care of yourself.

About 10 years ago,
I felt the same way.

I was full of stress from raising my children, and anxiety about the future.

I had a counselor, Setsuko Yano, but to use HMSA insurance, I first had to get a referral from my family doctor (I think it was my gynecologist)
I think up to 12 visits were free.

Just getting them to listen to you makes a lot of difference.
My son was 1 year old at the time, but I took the plunge and started working full time with him in day care before he turned 2.
The salary and day care cost about the same,
maybe even red.

But I have benefits, and looking to the future, I am very glad I worked.
The amount of pension in the future will be very different.

Take care of yourself.

Some people moved to
Japan, Texas, and Las Vegas because Hawaii didn't suit them and they were stressed.
Before Corona, but they can afford a house
because the cost of living is cheaper than Hawaii and the salary is better.
It's really too expensive to pay rent in Hawaii
so if you can't afford a house in Hawaii, you should consider moving
.

I hope you can talk to a counselor before you do that.

Nutritional information on dried sardines sold in Hawaii

I found Japanese dried sardines at a supermarket in Hawaii, but the nutritional information says 0% vitamin D. I thought dried sardines were vitamin D and calcium, but that's what the English nutritional information says.
I thought dried sardines were vitamin D and calcium, but that's what the English description says, and the Japanese nutritional information didn't specifically mention vitamin D.

I just translated the Japanese description ? or does it mean 0% in 100 grams for example ?

Is there vitamin D in dried sardines or not ?
sorry. I know this is a boring question, but please comment if you know something !.

Perhaps you are misunderstanding because the method of labeling Nutrition Facts in Japan and in the U.S. are different.
I believe the "0%" is the notation in the "% Daily Value" column.
"% Daily Value" refers to the percentage of nutrients in a single serving based on 2000 calories per day.
This indicator is not found in the Japanese Nutrition Facts label.
You will find the grams to the left of this % indication, so you can find the vitamin D content there.
If you search for "Nutrition Facts Label US/Japan Difference", you will find various pages explaining the difference.
