The Children's House: Hawaii

Fall Festival 2022 was a blast! Our students experienced a Farmer's Market with a Lemonade Stand, Pumpkin Patch with games, and Carriage Rides with farm animals to boot! What a wonderful day to spend with friends.

Welcome to the 2022-23 School Year! Our students are learning their routines and making new friends. The happiest people are our parents whose children are back from break!

Our Annual Fall Festival was a blast! Students enjoyed carriage rides, a petting zoo, pumpkin patch, and freshly made andagi. It was a fun filled day with lots of memories made. Please check out our IG page for more photos/videos.

Happy Fall Y'all! Our students had a blast celebrating Harvest today. Every child needs a day of fun amid these turbulent times. Thank you to all our wonderful teachers for making this such a special day for our students! See more photos on our IG Page

D.A.R.E. Officers visited our Kindergarten students today with a message of safety. Thank you for ALL that you do!

It is with great sadness that I share with you the news of the passing of one of our long-time faculty members, Mrs. Helen Tom. Mrs. Tom was diagnosed with leukemia in February of this year and received a bone marrow transplant in July. She passed away peacefully with her son by her side on Saturday night.

Mrs. Tom began her career here 28 years ago, and over the course of those years, served as a lead teacher in kindergarten through second grade. She went on to support teachers in all levels, preschool through grade 6, mentoring them in the use if Montessori materials as well as providing academic and emotional support to students.

As parents, many of you were likely the recipients of her big smile and warm hug as you walked your child down in the mornings, even up to last school year. As a teacher, she had a heartfelt generosity, always finding ways to encourage children to reach their potential; as a friend and colleague, she was a prayer warrior with a deep love for everyone she met and were a part of her life. She has always been the faithful and sincerest reflection of our mission.

As one former student shared after learning of Mrs. Tom’s passing, “It is our blessing to cherish her amazing gift of kindness. She has left a legacy we have to keep alive, we have to spread the word of God to everyone just like Mrs. Tom.”

Mrs. Tom impacted our entire community for so many years. We pray comfort for her family and hold on to her beautiful spirit of Christ's love.

Sincerely,
Todd Los Baños
President/Principal

We were blessed to hear all the students' beautiful voices at our Thanksgiving Assembly. Thank you for all the donated can goods. Each student presented one for our community outreach.

Harvest Festival 2019 was a blast! Our students had a fun filled day picking vegetables from our Farmer's Market, meeting animals in our Petting Zoo, riding carriages led by ponies, and exercising on our HaliHali Horses (among other activities).

The Kindergarten through 6th Grades enjoyed soccer matches at Pearl City High School for our annual Healthy Heart Day. Thank you to Mr. Reid Shigemasa at PCHS for his tremendous help, all our parent volunteers for being awesome, and Mr. Barry Villamil for his outstanding photos!

The Children’s House family suffered a great loss last week with the passing of Mr. Bert Kapela. His persistent positive attitude brought smiles to our student’s, parent’s, and staff’s faces daily. Mr. Bert truly loved Jesus, and exuded gratitude to His Savior every moment he could. We will miss his highfiving, smiling, and laughing with each one of our students as they left school each day. We love you Mr. Bert.

Nothing gets better than walking to class with a friend!

Positive Mentors play a vital role in the healthy development of children. Here are a few examples of our mentors around school..

Happy Valentines Day!

Our Kindergartners were amazing! They were the first to share the Good News of Jesus this Christmas season.

'Throwback Thursday' was the last day to dress up before Healthy Heart Day. Almost all the decades were represented going back to the 40's! Great job with the school spirit!

'Wacky Wednesday' was the theme, and the students did not disappoint! Here's a few samples of the Wackiness..

Healthy Heart Week (our version of Spirit Week) continues with 'Neon Day.' Here's a sample of the outfits our BOLD students wore to school.

Healthy Heart Week has begun, and our students are dressed to impress! Today's theme was Sports Day.. can't wait to see what's in store for tomorrow!

Our Annual Easter Assembly was a reverent time where students listened to the story of Jesus and sang songs. Thank you Sixth Graders for presenting the message through your slideshow and speeches.

Lunches are prepared daily by Mrs. Joy, our wonderful school cook. We appreciate you & the teachers who make each place setting so beautiful!

Swimming lessons have begun for our upper elementary students. A water polo game was well deserved for all their hard work!

A group of Kindergartners took some time to hang out with friends.. Happy Monday!
