Seagull Schools In Kapolei

Don't get me wrong , it's a great school with great teachers, but there's one thing about this school that I really can't wrap my mind around and I don't understand how they can be so careless about this on particular thing.I enrolled my son for one month in this school for spring with a pro rate conducted by Ms. Nora. The amount of money that was taken out was not what we had spoken about combined with all these late fees which I wasn't supposed to have, because the money was not supposed to be taken out. Now it's been 4 months and I'm still waiting on an update. They're so quick to take money, but why does it take approximately 4 months to get an update on the money that wasn't supposed to be taken out.All I gotta say is , seagull academy . DO BETTER! and I'm still waiting for my money that doesn't belong to you.

I wish I have put my son in seagull schools sooner. My son attended from Feb 2024-July 2024. He previously went to Kamaaina kids Kalaeloa (not recommended). The teachers, the program, the staff are so accommodating. My son has improved so much by being here. I appreciate his teachers Ms. Rynel and Ms. Rowena. Wishing many blessings upon them. Seagull Kapolei is highly recommended.

Both my children went to Kapolei seagulls from 2009-2013. Great environment and great teachers that leave a lasting memory on my kids!

Enrolled my daughter into Seagull School 1st wanting the Ocean Pointe location but there was no opening so went with Kapolei. I absolutely LOVE her teachers from 5B Mrs.Judelyn, Mrs. Paula, and Mrs. Marie are amazing. It took my daughter about 2 weeks to get use to going to school but every morning I would drop her Mrs. Paula would greet us and when I say my goodbye and my daughter cries she carries my daughter and just comforts her. My daughter loves it there and she loves her classmates. I have a picky child so when I pick her up they are up from their nap and have snack time, Mrs. Judelyn always tells my daughter to bring her snack home with us even if she wouldn't eat it and always hugs my child before we leave. Everything about their class and the school I love. We recently got an opportunity to move to Ocean Pointe but I decided to keep my child at Kapolei since she was so use to it already and she had so much growth being there. The teachers really care about their students and you can see it.

Really a spectacular school! We attended for a relatively short period, as we had to unexpectedly return to mainland. However, our children routinely still reflect on their experiences there and miss their teachers and classmates very much many weeks after we returned home.100% would recommend to any family looking for a loving, caring and overall nourishing program for their kiddos.To the staff - thank you for the positive impressions and memories you bestowed on our children. We're in debt to each of you.

Seagull preschool has proven to care more about money than their students, our children. They have not handled this Covid situation even remotely decently. Seagull was shut down mid March. That left half of the month that children wouldn't be allowed to receive services from Seagull. However, they did not feel that it was reasonable to reimburse families for half the month's tuition. While other schools were giving away free meals for ALL children under the age of 18, Seagull charged for meals and educational services that they did not provide whatsoever. But okay, let's cut them a little slack. Covid hit so suddenly, it was hard to prepare for. Seagull chose to look out for themselves rather than their students' families. Fine.Fast forward to their reopening. A 30% increase in tuition. Fast forward to 109 confirmed Covid cases in Hawaii. I want to hold my child out of school for at least a month until the numbers of daily cases are hopefully not so scary. Seagull has not updated, altered, or made exceptions to their policies even though a global pandemic killing hundreds of thousands of people swept the world. They notified me that they would be keeping my deposit because I wasn't able to predict how bad Covid would be 30 days ago and therefore did not give the notice that their pre-Covid policy requires. Their suggestion? Continue to take the risk and expose my child for 30 more days if I want my deposit back. $400 is the price that they put on my child. Keep your deposit, greedy, money-hungry, Seagull. My kid's life is worth so much more than the $400 that you can't seem to let go of.

NO STARS DESERVED!! BAD BAD SERVICE! this was supposed to be the school my baby would attend but after a visit just to the office.... my baby will not be going there! had a really bad vibe when i called to ask where to enter & didn't realize that it was the Principle that answered & gave me a tone as if i was supposed to know where to go. Long story short, Bad Vibes, People in the office looked like they didn't wannabe there, & they didn't even offer to take me on a tour like how they said they would over the phone couple days prior to registering

My daughter has grown and learned so much while attending Seagull Schools. She loves her teachers and classmates. It's a great school and look forward to sending her younger brother there too.

Preschool forced son to quarantine due to being exposed to his aunt that came from outer state. Aunt has been cleared from travel restrictions from State of Hawaii by showing a negative test. Son is heartbroken and constantly asking why he can't see his teacher... (Why I'll give 1 star vs Zero)It's their policy I understand that part, BUT what I don't understand is that they had let him into school KNOWING that my sister from Vegas was picking him up. They violated my sisters HIPPA rights and did not want to notify the classroom/families that they've been in contact with my son. I can see the reason why they wouldn't want to notify them... "Dear family, your child MAY be at risk due to possible exposure from a child that was in contact with an out of state traveler. But don't be alarmed, the traveler tested NEGATIVE for covid and was cleared from travel restrictions by the state of Hawaii." For your child's safety he will be quarantined for 10 days." sounds ridiculous right?! It's graduation season and summer! You WILL be in contact with an out of state traveler especially if you are in the travel industry! The school called to leave a message saying that they do not want us in the program. But gladly took our June tuition and school deposit. I did not receive any written statement saying he needs to quarantine. On my end it effects my job because I need a written document to receive covid leave. It's unfortunate that they don't want to resolve it. Got in trouble just for stating the truth. Very unprofessional. Beware!

So awesome to watch my shy son come out of his shell. All 3 of my keiki went to the kapolei seagull school and I'm so happy with that. Teachers truly care and communicate everything with parents. Pre school is a very important time for our keiki to prepare them for the big jump to grade K. Mahalo to all the staff that help shape my little ones, aloha
