✨The Joy of Play: Learning Through Laughter

“Play is the highest form of research.” — Albert Einstein

🌿 The Hana (The Practice)

On the playground, keiki don’t just swing high — they rise into confidence, laughter, and connection. Play reminds us that joy is a teacher too.

🌱 What Children Learn

Through play, keiki strengthen their bodies, explore boundaries safely, and experience the delight of discovery in everyday moments.

💛 Connection to Social-Emotional Learning

Laughter builds bonds. When keiki share moments of pure joy, they strengthen trust, friendships, and the foundations of emotional resilience.

🌺 Connection to ʻĀina

Even on the swing set, keiki are immersed in the fresh air of the North Shore. Outdoor play ties movement and happiness back to the gifts of ʻāina.

✨ Living in Pono

Balance means creating space for joy. At Ka Hana Pono, play isn’t separate from learning — it is learning.
