About KEIKI O KA AINA PRESCHOOL INC

Keiki O Ka ʻĀina Preschool Inc (d/b/a Keiki O Ka ʻĀina Family Learning Centers) is a Hawaii-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit that operates culturally grounded early childhood and family-learning programs across the islands. The organization runs preschools, infant/toddler centers, parent-participation classes, home-visiting and family support services focused on school readiness, parental engagement, and Hawaiian cultural perpetuation. In the last 2–3 years KOKA has continued statewide programming while receiving federal and private grant support to expand early learning services, operated the Laulima Giving Program to assist vulnerable families, and mounted emergency relief and partner-driven responses following the 2023 Lahaina fires. The organization has also made operational adjustments (including site relocations and program schedule changes) to respond to funding and facility challenges while maintaining core services.

Notable achievements

Through its Laulima Giving Program KOKA rapidly allocated emergency support to families affected by the 2023 Lahaina wildfires, deploying cash and in-kind assistance and coordinating Adopt‑A‑Family efforts.

KOKA has been awarded multiple U.S. Department of Health & Human Services / ACF grants in recent years to support HELP (Hawaii Early Learning Partnerships) and related programs, enabling expansion of childcare and family-support services across the islands.

Statewide family learning network

Maintains a network of family learning centers and parent-participation programs serving Oʻahu, Maui, Kauaʻi and Hawaiʻi Island with culturally anchored curricula and use of state early learning standards.
