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.

Yes ！ I think most of the schools you are looking at are on the grounds. I heard at the information session at the time that Kahala Elementary was walking to the YMCA, but it wasn't on the list of candidates. My apologies.
