The Makawao Hongwanji Preschool in Pukalani is sponsored by and is affiliated with the Makawao Hongwanji Mission as an outreach to the needs of the community. We are committed to providing a positive, loving, safe and healthy environment to encourage your child's religious, intellectual, physical, social and emotional development to the fullest potential. We believe that children develop a strong sense of positive self-esteem with age-appropriate learning experiences that stimulate and encourage curiosity for learning. Teaching of Jodo Shinshu Buddhism is one of our aims. The Dharma Teachings are introduced through stories, songs and craft activities as well as weekly visits by the Resident Minister or once a month to the Temple.
