Seagull Schools at Ko Olina

This school deserves all the 5 stars! When we first moved to Hawaii I was very overwhelmed and confused where I should send my nearly 3 year old to school. I went to so many schools overthinking each and every decision about where we should register her. And the waitlists are the worst in Hawaii because you don't have a firm answer - you just wait - wondering when a spot will come up and if they will call. Seagull School Ko'Olina was not our first decision I will admit, but only because of where it is located. I am so glad they called us! It is a hidden gem well worth the drive. We have had the other schools call and we have no intentions of moving her. The teachers, the school, the front office, everything continue to impress me. My daughter gets the very most out of the school. The book fairs, the teachers (not just her own - they all know her name!), extra programs like soccer, the play, the curriculum, and the friends - it is a wonderful balance. She has learned so many things thanks to the teachers. Moving to Hawaii was hard - I worried about my daughter adjusting to new things and places, but she is so happy at Seagull Ko'Olina and has learned so much. If you are on Yelp trying to make a decision about preschools and which one is the "best," pick Seagull KoOlina - you will be happy you did.

My oldest son went here after attending Cole academy and I wish I had originally sent him straight to seagulls koolina. I can't speak to the other seagulls but I know they all do training together so they are probably on the same page but the teachers at seagulls really care about the developmental growth and happiness of their kiddies (students). Soon after we started there I felt at ease dropping my boy to school and knew he was in safe hands. From the 3 years we were there I did not see any favoring of students and the teachers - more specifically Ms. Ashlyn, Ms. Helene, Ms. Cheryl, Ms. Raechelle & Ms. Su adore all their kids equally! Which is so important to me.And the schedule is AMAZING! The price is so reasonable for the hours that they are open!! I just love this school and cannot wait to enroll my 2nd child when he becomes of age!

I have been sending my daughter here for the past year and a half for part-time schooling. The school is located within Ko'olina resort and is somewhat secluded from any harm. The only downside is that I experienced some traffic twice (while on my way to pick up my daughter) getting to Koolina from Kapolei due to an accident on the way to Waianae. The school was understanding and did not charge me for picking her up late that one time. Kudos!

Located in the beautiful property shared with Aulani, Marriott, Four Seasons, and Koolina golf course, I love the drive everyday here to drop off my daughter. Teachers are very nice and I couldn't be more happier to have my daughter here.

My two year old has grown so much in the last month at Seagull Ko'Olina, that it truly makes it all worth it. The staff and teachers are great. They really care about the well being and progress that my child is making. My two year old started here right after she turned 2 (because I needed to get back to work) and they were so great with helping in the transition to preschool. They have helped with potty training and we are almost there.. I know their routine has definitely helped with the process. Their tuition is comparable, if not cheaper than others near by. I love their program and will continue to recommend them. This is my third child enrolled at Seagull.

I have my son (3 years old) started at Seagull Koolina 2 weeks ago. I must say I totally disappointed. When I did register, I was introduced to the teacher of my son, she is teacher of class 3-4 years of ages. I have good impression about her. The first day I came there, my son was sent to another class (,classroom 6 for kids from 2 to 3 years old) with another teacher. This teacher is suck, she is there, but her mind is somewhere else outside the class. She completely has no inspiration, no energy working with the kids. Her class was so quiet because she did nothing to involve the kids in. She sang a song for the kids with her boring sleepy face. My son is kind of social guy, he loves to have new friends, but it's weird, kids in this class so quiet, they don't really interact. My son does not make friend with anyone. The teacher made me feel I am not confident to let my kid there with her whole day. What I observed so far, I can not trust her.At the first day I though there might have something wrong with her, and I did hope next day she will be different. But nope, nothing different. I met another mom who had her baby first time came to this class, she expressed her concerns about the teacher, just like what I feel about her. This mom said she had already reported to the director. My son started his first day class without me, he immediately refused to come to class next day, he cried badly when I drop him off, I see the other kids did not willing to come to her class either. My son was so thirsty and hungry every time when my husband came and pick him up. Today when my husband came to pick up my son, he heard the teacher shout at the kids badly. I have already talked with her director and decide to withdraw after 1 week. I don't know what wrong with the director when she hired such an inexperience teacher to work for a good name like Seagull. I don't know what other parents think when they let their kids whole day with that teacher.

Terrible. Wouldn't let my 4 year old come to school because we traveled off island and refused to give us our money back.
