Journey Workshops

This series of workshops will provide families the opportunity to participate with their child up to 5-years old. Please note that registration is required.  An adult (one per child) must accompany each child that is registered to attend. You are welcome to attend even if your child is not with you.

Family Hui Hawaii has an exciting opportunity to share with families!  We are offering a series of 4 highly interactive workshops centered around the family resource guide entitled, Embracing Your Journey as Your Child's First Teacher.  Families and children will have the opportunity to connect with others in both play and workshop setting.  Families will hear how they make a difference in their child's overall development and success in life as their child's first teacher.  It also describes 4 ideas for building such partnerships with a self-assessment included with each of the 4 ideas that families can complete. 

The four ideas are:

1. Families are our children's first teachers

2. Communication is key

3. Supporting success

4. Speaking for all keiki

Workshop Goals:

1) To acknowledge and build confidence that families know their children best

2) To help families understand the impact that their interactions with their children have on their child's development and outcomes

3) To increase families' capacity to engage in reciprocal partnerships committed to their children’s success in school and life

Workshop Details: 

These workshops are free of charge

We are offering 4 workshops, each about 2 hours long  

Offered once a week, each workshop will focus on one of the 4 ideas outlined above

Each family will take home a book and materials for an adult-child interactive activity every week 

By sharing the guide with families, we hope to promote a shared understanding of the purpose of family-school partnerships and strategies for building relationships with partners in their children's health and development.  Our hope is that the workshops will begin developing families' confidence and capacity to engage with partners in their children’s development as well as provide an additional opportunity for families to build relationships with one another.
