\n\t\t\tOUR RESPONSE\n\t\t<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\"OUR\n\t\t\t

We are still operating our T\u016bt\u016b and Me traveling preschool site to support families with young children on Maui. Our team has been actively serving more than 100 families at four sites in Kula, Lahaina, K\u012bhei, and Upcountry. Our programs are mobile, and can move locations as needed, which has helped respond to demand for services from families in crisis and provide important avenues for continuity and connection for young keiki and their \u02bbohana.\u00a0We are operating one day per week at each site currently, and with increased staffing, will increase frequency to two days at each site. Our staff from neighbor island locations are rotating in to ensure that Maui staff can be supported, while maintaining a Maui anchor at each program site. Staff are currently visiting hotels to provide keiki learning materials. We are also working to add a Ka Pa\u02bbalana Maui pop-up program that is accessible to impacted Lahaina families and\u00a0will hire Maui-based teachers who have lost their jobs to fulfill staffing needs.
