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.

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.

Aloha. I’m Ms, Izzy.
A few fun things about me, I like to bake, cook and draw and love expressing my creative side.
I have been in the childcare field since I was 19 and have loved learning different styles of teaching and being able to apply all that I have learned along the way in order to help keiki learn and flourish. Being able to guide keiki has brought me so much joy as it amazes me to see them take what I’ve taught them and apply it. I look forward to working with you and your ohana.

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!

Hello, my name is Erica!
I’ve always had a passion for working with young children and helping them learn about and explore the world around them. It feels so rewarding to walk into a classroom and be greeted with big smiles and hugs! It’s very rewarding to see that the children are just as excited to learn as I am to help them.
I’m especially excited to work at Kinder Kids as the curriculum focuses on children’s development and the many things that they are able to do, even at a young age!
