  • We had such an AMAZING experience at The Cole Academy! We can't say enough great things about our experience there. Our child's teachers Ms. Wanda, Ms. Grace, and Ms. Dani were incredibly kind, caring, and so supportive. They always greeted us with smiles and made our child feel genuinely loved and encouraged. Franchelle was also amazing, always helpful, responsive, and on top of communications and requests. Communication from the entire team was excellent, and we always felt well-informed and supported. We are so grateful for the care our child received and the wonderful experience our family had there. Our only wish is that The Cole Academy continued through first grade so we could have stayed longer! We wholeheartedly recommend them to other families. Truly a 5-Star education experience.

  • Do not send your children here. I wanted just to be done with Cole but after 1 year they charged us again because of their lack of organization in billing. No warning just a charge. While there are some good teachers, the administration of Cole was only about profits. Our son has autism and we had a full time assistant with him to help him in areas that he struggles with. Cole would not comply with the American Disability Act. We were more than happy to supply the necessary materials (as shown by having a therapist with him at all times) They would not put our son in an age appropriate classroom. Every day we dreaded going to pick him up because it seemed that there was a new restriction or caveat put on his ability to interact and grow with his peers. Cole told us that he might not do well in the testing because it was too structured for him to succeed at. They never gave him the chance. For the growth of our child we removed him from Cole in order to find a better place for him. Unfortunately that was on the mainland. Best decision we made though. At his new school he has made leaps and bounds of progress that we saw from the first few weeks. Now almost a year later he is excelling and getting ready to go to kindergarten by himself without assistance. If you care about your child and their growth I highly recommend looking elsewhere to enroll your child if you care about their growth and succeed.

  • Both our kids flourished here! I loved all their teachers. My son was very well prepared for kindergarten! So sad we moved off island, our baby girl was so comfortable with her teacher, and loved her so much. The Director Syreeta is the absolute best, welcoming, helpful, hands on, caring! They all know all the kids by name and their family. Thank you Ms Inez, Ms. Billie, Ms. Kat, Ms Brandie, and everyone else I forgot. I highly recommend! Your babies are safe and well supported at Cole Academy in kapolei.

  • Cole Academy is a terrible business. They treat their employees poorly. The good teachers and employees are always leaving with high turnover. The director of this school is a bad person from New York. She speaks with a bad attitude to her employees and doesn't treat her employees well. There are much better schools than here. Take your kids to a better school that is more affordable and treat their employees with respect

  • Great preschool. Teachers are very nice and friendly. Director is amazing, carrying and always ready to help. My kid loves going there. They have a great curriculum, many daily activities and they do lots of handcraft.
