The keiki of Papa Makai at Piʻihonua Preschool brought the moʻolelo of Hāloa to life through their own artwork!Through storytelling and creativity, they’re learning about our ancestral connection to kalo and the ʻāina — and proudly sharing that ʻike in their own special way. 🌱💚We honor kalo not just as a plant, but as our kūpuna — the first-born, Hāloa, who connects us all. Mahalo to Kumu Tiffany for sharing this great video!#KSPreschools #Moolelo #Haloa #Keiki #Art #IkeHawaii #PiihonuaPreschool #HawaiiIsland #Ohana #AlohaAina

At our Pi‘ihonua Preschool in Hilo, keiki are immersed in learning through moʻolelo about Hawaiʻi Island, mele, hands-on experiences in the māla, hula, daily affirmations, piko, and more. These rich, culturally grounded practices deepen their connection to ‘āina and strengthen their sense of identity as Hawaiians, nurturing pride, belonging, and a strong foundation for their future. Eo Pi'ihonua!
