Ka Pa'alama Preschool Helps Homeless Children in Hawaii

Each year the Ka Pa'alana Traveling Preschool educates about 700 homeless children in Hawaii.  Funded by various federal programs including the Administration for Native Americans, Ka Pa'alama teaches their classes at homeless shelters and tent encampments on beaches.  The program is accredited by the National Association for Education of Young Children.

In related news, Governor Neil Abercrombie has recently signed a bill which will expand the state's Preschool Open Doors program.  The state government will provide an additional $7 million to help subsidies 900 children.  Eventually, it appears that Abercrombie would like to create a state-funded public preschool.
