Most preschool programs in Honolulu accept children between ages 2.5 and 5. Many children start at age 3 or 4, about one to two years before kindergarten.

While both provide childcare, preschools in Honolulu typically focus more on structured educational activities to prepare children for kindergarten. Preschool programs often run half-day or school-year schedules, while daycare centers offer full-day, year-round care. Many facilities combine both, offering preschool curriculum within a full-day daycare setting.
Preschool costs in Honolulu typically range from $600 to $1,500 per month for full-time programs. Half-day programs are usually less expensive. Some preschools offer financial aid, and Hawaii may have state-funded pre-K programs for qualifying families. Contact individual facilities for current tuition rates.
When selecting a preschool in Honolulu, consider:
  • Visit the facility in person to observe the environment

  • Check licensing status with Hawaii's regulatory agency
