2013 Calendar Reminders

 Below are some general updates for the remainder of this year; please let us know if you have any questions; this information will also be posted on-line on Ka Hana Pono's blog.

JULY

• We are currently interviewing for Fall 2013 enrollment and that finishes upon Sunday July 28th.  Most of these families have been on Ka Hana Pono's waitlist since March-June of 2012.
  

• Anyone with friends with young children, you may want to give them the heads up that options for childcare / preschool / daycare programs are so limited that now really is the time to start planning and applying for next year (not just speaking for Ka Hana Pono, this is in general).
  

AUGUST 1st

• Niko, Laken, Avea & Naia will be graduating from Ka Hana Pono*;August 1st will be their last day.
  
• *We will not be filling their places in our program until October of 2013
• KHP is open on August 16thStatehood Day (Friday)

SEPTEMBER

• KHP is open on September 2nd Labor Day (Monday)
  

• KHP is closed from Thursday September 12th thru Friday September 20th.

• Please plan ahead keeping in mind that the monthly fee is not discounted / pro-rated nor will makeup days be available for the time that Ka Hana Pono is closed during the month of September.  Note that we pay a set rent and utility bill at the WCAregardless of days closed and we pay a set rate for the organic & locally grownfoods consumed at Ka Hana Pono as we are part of a co-op of childcare providers buying in bulk together to encourage vendors like Lanakila Kitchen to work with us to create amindful menu. Also the curriculum we use from Fun Steps & from Bright Start Learning have to be purchased for each full month.  While we always try to offer makeup days and pro-rate fees when we can, this closure in September is not a time when that's possible.  Thank you for understanding.
