Help Shape Hawaiʻi’s Early Childhood Future – Participate in an Online Survey

Posted on: July 30, 2025 | Category: Uncategorized

Hawai‘i's Early Childhood State PlanThe Executive Office on Early Learning (EOEL) is currently working to update Hawaiʻi’s Early Childhood State Plan—a strategic roadmap that outlines how the state supports young children and their families.

As part of this important effort, EOEL is seeking input from parents and caregivers across Hawaiʻi. Families are encouraged to take a brief online survey to share their experiences, thoughts, and ideas about what’s working well, what may be missing, and what is most needed to support their keiki from birth through age five.

This is a valuable opportunity for families to help shape the future of early learning in Hawaiʻi. The feedback gathered will directly inform the updated plan, ensuring it reflects the real needs and hopes of communities throughout the state.

You have questions. We have answers.
We're librarians. (It's what we do.)
