About SOUNDS OF SUCCESS PRESCHOOL AND LEARNING CENTER

Sounds of Success Preschool and Learning Center (EIN 45-2321551) is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit based in Aiea, Hawai‘i. The organization was founded in January 2012 and is licensed to operate a preschool program serving children approximately 2 years, 8 months through 5 years of age.

SOS operates an integrated early-education model that pairs classroom teachers with on‑site, ASHA‑certified and state‑licensed speech‑language pathologists to deliver daily individualized speech and language therapy as part of the school day. The program also maintains an after‑school Learning Center offering speech‑language services to children ages 2–18 who are not enrolled in the full‑day preschool.

In the past 2–3 years the organization has continued regular operations, maintained its licensed capacity, and received community grant support to expand access to speech therapy for financially disadvantaged families (including awards from local philanthropic funders). Program services make up the large majority of organizational activity and spending, reflecting a primarily service-delivery budget focused on early childhood education and speech-language therapy.
