The Executive Office on Early Learning is expanding public pre-kindergarten programs in Hawaii. The new phase of the Ready Keiki initiative, led by Lieutenant Governor Sylvia Luke, will offer more early learning opportunities for 3- and 4-year-olds. This expansion is part of a broader plan to support early childhood development in the state, according to the Office of the Governor.
Executive Office of Early Learning has opened applications for the 2025–2026 school year as of March 3, offering families the chance to secure a spot for their children. Priority will be given to eligible families in the home school region. Slots will be filled on a rolling, first-come, first-served basis starting July 1, as reported by the Office of the Governor.
The Executive Office of Early Learning in Hawaii focuses on providing a strong educational foundation for young children. The Executive Office of Early Learning works with families and the community to support early childhood development. Information about free public pre-K programs is available on the Executive Office of Early Learning website, where families can learn more and apply online, as stated by the Office of the Governor.
