Keiki Aloha Preschool

2.3(3)

98-027 Hekaha Street, Aiea, HI

Feedback for Keiki Aloha Preschool is sharply divided, with one parent praising the structured, academic environment and attentive staff, while others report issues with teacher patience and judgment regarding child behavior. Specific complaints highlight staff burnout, perceived mislabeling of normal toddler separation anxiety as destructive behavior, and concerns about handling violent outbursts. Conversely, the positive experience emphasizes a non-permissive approach that successfully taught respect and resulted in dry diapers for a previously untrained child.
