At Manoa Keiki Club, we invite toddlers and caregivers to join us on a learning adventure full of cherished moments with your ohana!

Created and facilitated by our team of inspired educators, Manoa Keiki Club’s play-based classes are designed to stimulate toddlers’ cognitive, social, and physical development and pave the way for success in preschool, and beyond! With the help of new friends and supportive caregivers, our youngsters will discover early math and literacy, music and dance, art and crafts, and much more. With a small group of peers, they’ll hone early learning skills like listening & understanding, collaboration, problem solving and creative thinking.

In addition to structured activities, each hour-long session will include a period of open play where toddlers and grown ups can freely explore our new play space. In addition to books, games, and toys, curious youngsters will be able to interact with a series of Hawaii-themed “exploration stations.” Our keiki will buy and sell goods at Longs, Jr., harvest at a taro patch, and more! Our team will rotate some of these stations on a monthly basis, so there will always be something new to explore! 

At Manoa Keiki Club, we provide a safe and comfortable space where toddlers can gain positive early learning experiences that will help them become confident, joyful learners throughout their childhood. 

Join us for Mānoa Keiki Club, where learning feels like play!

Age Groups: 

In response to your valuable feedback, we’ve adjusted our age groups to include children 18 months – 4.5 years old!

Our program is divided into three different age groups: Honu, Manō, and Nēnē. Each group engages in activities specially designed for their skill level. As children progress, our curriculum gently readies them for the classroom setting, all while maintaining a focus on a fun, playful, and open-ended experience.

HONU CLASS (18 months – 23 months)

Your lively Honu will sing, dance, create arts & crafts, take turns playing games with peers, and explore free play! This quickly evolving hour-long class will keep your spirited keiki engaged while practicing early preschool skills. 

MANŌ CLASS (24 months – 35 months)

Your Manō will “swim” into a gentle introduction to early preschool concepts through fun and engaging activities that alternate between focused tasks and physical and interactive games. You and your curious keiki will build lasting experiences and have a blast discovering early literacy and math, circle time, STEM concepts, music, art and more!

NĒNĒ CLASS (3 years old –  4.5 years old)

The Nēnē class flies into a slightly more formal class environment to prepare students for a smooth transition to preschool. Fun and engaging play-based activities will focus on early literacy and math concepts and promote independent, confident, eager learners who are ready to soar into ‘big kid school’!

The safety and well-being of each child and team member are of our highest priority, and we kindly request that you please help to guide your child accordingly. In the event that a child behaves in a way that repeatedly disrupts the class experience for others or endangers other children or team members, they may be asked to be removed from the class. Tutor Doctor Hawaii reserves the right to ask children not to return to the play center if their behavior consistently and negatively affects other children and team members. In this case, tuition fees will not be refunded.
