Session Information

Hālau ‘Ōkupu Play and Learn will take place one Monday each month. Please note that there may be occasional instances where sessions will not be held. Hālau ‘Ōkupu sessions are thoughtfully planned on Mondays, a day when ‘Imiloa is closed to general admission. This creates an ideal environment for keiki to safely explore alongside their peers. Please note that during this time, ‘Imiloa opens up the opportunity for potential field trips, enhancing educational opportunities at ‘Imiloa. 

Eligibility

  • Keiki must be between 1-4 years old and have an accompanying adult to participate. 

  • Participation is limited to eligible keiki and their caregiver(s).

  • Caregivers may supervise no more than two keiki. This  mandatory ratio of 2 keiki to 1 adult is employed to ensure that each child receives the supervision, and support they need to thrive in the program.

  • Accompanying adults are expected to participate and guide their child(ren) through the program’s hosted activities. 

  • Adult-to-child ratio of 1:1 for a more enriching experience. By ensuring each child has dedicated attention, caregivers can actively engage with their keiki, fostering exploration, learning, and bonding moments that are both memorable and educational. This balanced ratio not only enhances the quality of interaction but also ensures the safety and enjoyment of all.
