A Joyful, Hands-On Preschool Experience

At Manoa Nursery School, we love creating a joyful, hands-on preschool experience for children ages 2 ½ to 5, helping them build confidence and develop a lifelong love of learning. We provide a warm and engaging environment that bridges the gap between home and formal education.  

Each day is filled with exciting activities like Bible stories, music, crafts, seasonal themes, games, learning centers, snack time, and free play. We focus on key developmental skills, including socialization, early literacy and math, and both large and small motor development.  

Throughout the year, we also offer special opportunities for family involvement and enrichment, including fun trips, classroom parties, special visitors, and cherished events like the Thanksgiving and Christmas Programs, Parents’ Day, Mothers’ Tea, and our Family Picnic.
