Veda says "Aloha Preschool"

It took me a month, but I finally found a decent preschool that wasn't full. We found a small Montessori Preschool in Lawai (South shore) that we both liked immediately. There are only 7 students total. The approach is more academic than her last preschool but I don't mind that (being the year before she starts kindergarten). Her teacher is Miss Irina, a russian woman with a 4 yr. old son in the program. She is very loving, patient and positive. The school is right next to her home on their acre lot with a big yard and playground. She goes 3 days a week from 8 am to 2 pm. The only problem is that I have to drive 45 minutes each way to Lawai from Kapaa where we are renting. We are only in Kapaa for another month, then we will rent closer to the school and Travis' hospital.
