Dreaming of the future?

Hāloalaunuiakea Early Learning Center is a plaee where keiki love to go to school. It's also a safe plaee where staff feel good about helping their students to learn and prepare for a bright future. The center is run by Native Hawaiian U'ilani Corr-Yorkman. U'ilani wasn't always a business owner. She actually taught at DOE for 8 years. A Mālama Loan from OHA helped make her dream of owning her own preschool a reality. The low-interest loan allowed U'ilani to buy fencing forthe property, playground equipment, furniture, books...everything needed to open the doors of her business. U'ilani and her staff serve the community in 'Ele'ele, Kaua'i, and have become so popular that they have a waiting list.
