Our belief at Keiki to Career Kauaʻi is that the foundation of a child’s success begins in the home with a loving and supportive family. High quality ECCE provides our keiki with additional social-emotional development, physical skills and wholesome early education that helps get them ready for kindergarten and beyond. This document is intended to offer guidance to Keiki to Career community partners and other service providers and policymakers looking to increase the number of children on Kaua’i who are ready to succeed in kindergarten, and life.
The 2017 ECCE Report identifies the current ECCE capacity on Kauaʻi, barriers that hinder attendance, and recommendations to improve the availability of high quality early education for island families.
