History of Our Preschool

Prior to 1936
The building was located on the plantation as a meeting hall.

Aprox. 1936 – The building was moved from the plantation to its current location and served as a church.

Aprox. 1980 – The church building became a preschool.

1985 – Kumulani Chapel took over management and oversight of The Preschool at Kapalua.

2005
The Preschool at Kapalua held a fund raising festival at the Honolua Field adjacent to the school to raise money for necessary renovations on the 80 + yr. old building. Fun was had by all who attended and $10,000.00 was made that went into the completion of numerous projects, which included new bathrooms and new windows. New projects were started as a result of the fundraiser resulting in a new roof, new flooring and carpet, new office space, new siding, paint, a new ramp and stairs. Time and labor were donated by trades people in the community and from Kumulani Chapel.

2006
Family Fun Festival was held as a fund raiser to continue in the renovations and upgrading of the preschool’s facilities. This well attended event was open to the public.
