“At kalamapi'i play school we nurture and heal kids. Kalamapi'i is a preschool for kids ages 3-5. Learning stems from curiosity. Curiosity exists in the presence of physical and emotional safety and from play. Of the 70 students we serve, some have experienced trauma, it's why they are here. Our preschool environment is designed for healing, development of healthy attachments and long term well-being. Kalamapi'i translates as "the light which rises, likened to a beacon which brings knowledge, a wellspring of light which comes from within."”
