Gov. David Ige is bringing a tsunami of enormous positive good to the state of Hawaii.

Publicly funded preschools are on the horizon.

Currently, private preschools charge from $700 a month on up. This is simply out of economic reach for many of our families.

The health and early education of thousands of kids will impact the lives of all of us — not just the child.

There will be better thinking, better decision-making, better social interactions, and thus more capable and independent citizens.

In his State of the State address, Ige said, “First and foremost, we must create a universal, statewide high-quality public preschool system that will give every child in Hawaii a head-start on learning.”

Thank you, Gov. Ige, for initiating publicly funded preschools for our keiki.
