Miss Keris

Busy BeeTeacher

Aloha! I’m Miss Keris and I’ve always loved little kids. Teaching is a passion of mine and I get joy from watching the children reach their goals and to see their facial expressions when they can finally do something on their own.
It is very rewarding seeing children use what I have taught them as they teach their siblings or friends what they have learned.
Children are our future, and if we can teach them how to do things the right way from a young age, they can have a wonderful life and create a better world for their children.

Exploring the beauty of our world is a passion of mine, especially when shared with children.

I eagerly anticipate getting to know each of them better and extend my heartfelt thanks in advance for your aloha and support.

Hi everyone! I’m Miss Mayumi. I love teaching and watching children learn and grow. I really enjoy all the time I spend with them.
Children are so positive and curious and not only do I feel it is a privilege to teach them, but also I have the pleasure of learning from them.
I believe that Kinder Kids International School’s unique curriculum gives the children a great deal of opportunities in an environment that is both engaging and fun. I'm originally from Japan and I will be the Japanese and Music class teacher for the older children.

Hello, my name is Nana.When I was in kindergarten, my teacher was very loving and kind. This inspired me to become a teacher like her, which has been my dream since childhood.
I want kids to look back on their school days as happy and joyful times. I aim to create a fun and positive environment for them every day.
In my free time, I love nature and often play outside with my daughter. I also enjoy hiking to waterfalls and relaxing at the beach or pool.

Aloha kākou, my name is Miss Brandi and I am so excited to be a part the Kinder Kids International Hawaii Kai team! I am from the Big Island of Hawai’i and in my free time I love spending time with family, friends and my dog. Some of my hobbies include spending time at the beach, doing arts and crafts such as resin art and shopping (mostly at target)! I’ve always loved working with children. Watching them grow and mature during their time in preschool is such a rewarding and exciting journey! The pure joy in the children’s faces when they accomplish something is a constant reminder of why I love teaching! Children are our future. “He keiki aloha nā mea kanu.”- Beloved children are the plants. Children are like plants, given the attention and care that is needed, they will grow!
