Hello ！
I recently attended the Central Union school tour and asked a lot of questions, so I thought I would share
with those who will APPLY this year.
Last year, they were able to send out accept notices to everyone in July for the 3 year old class that started in August this year. For the past 3 years, even if everyone who applied did not make it to the 1st round, they were able to get an acceptance notice as long as they were in the wait pool. In other words, it seems that even if the acceptance notifications are sent out in order, they are being passed on to other schools. In my opinion, the school grounds are very SAFE and bright.
However, I felt that the school's educational policy, assignments, academics, and the number and content of field trips were not as good as the other three schools I attended. I felt that this is why students tend to go to other schools.

I will share the good news with those who are considering this school, as I was told that they have all received acceptance letters for the past three years ！.

Nice to meet you ！ I am anxious to take the Kinder exam because all the schools are too difficult. I have a question for those who have taken the Hana Hau'oli School. I heard that the interview is not only for the children but also for the parents and that it is like an activity.

Hi ！ My daughter who will be 3 next month
received an acceptance letter from Central Union last month. Eight children from the same area took the test and all eight, including our child, received First round acceptance letters.
The school said that the year before last and last year they were able to notify everyone who was eventually put on the waitlist by July, so maybe that had an impact. lol
Central Union is my 4th choice and a slip up.

I paid the enrollment fee because I got an acceptance letter from Central Union, which I took as a stopgap.
My second choice is Montessori Community School
My third choice is Midpac.
I am waiting for the results of Midpac and Montessori Community.

My first choice St. Clements fell through and is now waitlist.
So my question is, if I put St. Clements on my waitlist, is there a good chance that I will get an acceptance letter if I waitlist?

please let me know if anyone knows ！ thank you

Wind, my child also received a Central Union acceptance letter
on the first day, and 3 other children from the same daycare also received acceptance letters ！
I am sure they are anticipating a situation where many children are turning down the offer, so I am sure they will be giving out many acceptances from the beginning this year to earn their enrollment fees. ？

We didn't get into St. Clements either. Same waitlist.
I also applied to Queen Emma, Montessori Community School, and Unity School, but they haven't announced their acceptance yet ！ Most of them are in March

Central Union, I haven't heard from anyone who applied this year who hasn't received an acceptance letter ！
St. Clements is not easy to get on the waitlist … we have to wait and see ！

Central Union is only available up to preschool, so there is no option to stay at Central Union for the kinder grades. People who are considering Mainland colleges often want to get into Punahou or Iolani sooner or later, so you might as well get them in when the time is right.

For example, at Punahou, if you care about your current school and stay through 8th grade, you will almost certainly lose your chance of admission.
----
In 6th grade, we would welcome 88 new students, bringing the total number of students in the grade to about 280; in 7th grade, we would welcome another 80 students to Punahou; the 8th grade vacancies would be determined by natural attrition; and in 7th grade, we would welcome a total of about 80 new students to Punahou.

Sekisui House or PanaHome would be good.

And I don't use Eron Musk's Tesla House Drywall. I think this is the future of housing. It's cheap in price and you can get a Mortgage
at a lower cost ． watch it on you tube.
And you can compare with other companies.
It's worth a look.

Have you contacted Akimoto Koumanten ？
His personality is interesting, a bit out of the ordinary. But he is very good at what he does.

I heard that after Oct 25, the operation will be suspended until next March.
I heard that the outsourcing worker will be disbanded
after October even after March, so
I guess it will be difficult even after March ….

Thank you.
I heard a rumor that from now on they will only fly extra flights during busy times, but I guess that's true.
If outsourcing workers are laid off, there is no hope for revival.
It's a pity, because I used to use this service frequently.

I just got the press release, and it looks like it will only operate on a reduced schedule during the busy season in March

Parking at Ala Moana SC is not available.
Everyone will have a family member drop them off or take an Uber or cab to Ala Moana. There is also a shuttle bus from the ZOO in Waikiki.

Thanks for the information. It will be helpful.
By the way, I will be participating in the 10K walk, and I was wondering if the Kalani'anao'ole Hwy. that returns towards Hawaii Kai before noon will be open to cars during the marathon ？.

Kalanianaole Highway
is open for one-way traffic during the marathon.

Be aware that the Kaimuki Kahala area is partially blocked by the marathon course, so you will have to drive through residential areas of Kaimuki (Harding, etc.)
On the west side of Kahala Mall, take Funakai St. to the mountain side
Turn right at the end of the street. Turn left at the first Maria St, turn right on Ainakoa Ave,
then turn right onto Kalanianaole Hwy.

I think it depends on the dentist.

Before （ About 10 years ago ？ ） I remember when I inquired $ 25 ～ I was told about 30, but when I asked another dentist 2 years ago, he sent me data for free.

I mean, normally, the hourly rate is higher in the nanny business.
I think it's about the same level as the average after checking various places.
I know someone who paid a little over $30 an hour.
I guess it would have been OK since it was only a few hours and not full time.
Instead, he seemed to have a variety of
qualifications, such as being a licensed nurse, child-related and safety ？ . It looks like he presented his license first, too.

There is a big difference between the age of your child and
if you ask for a one-off or a monthly.
For a single session, I think 1 hour $ 25 ～ 30 is the market rate.
Our family has graduated
12 months ～ We had a sitter until 26 months.
Monthly $ 1800, from 18 months $ 1600.
Single visit to the same place was $ 22.

I visited many places, but
the sitter I saw with my own children was relatively cheap. The place I asked for was not only the price, but also the fact that the hours were until 6:00 pm, and they also allowed me to shower during the hours.

Hi ！

It's faster to go to Toyota and ask.

No one spoke Japanese the day I bought it

Maybe it was off. They may not be able to tell you over the phone, so

I think you should visit them.

Maybe there is no one who can speak Japanese at Toyota Dealer.

Mercedes ・ There is a Japanese speaker at Mercedes
Mercedes ・ It is possible to order Toyota cars from Mercedes
so you should ask him.

There is a nice salesman at Honolulu Toyota named Kim Danny who speaks Japanese.
He kindly called and texted me until my new car arrived in June.
