Greenland educators studying schools here

Advertiser Staff

A delegation of educators from Greenland are in Hawai'i this week to study early education programs including the University of Hawai'i at Manoa's Children's Center that serves children from 2 to 5 years old.

The delegation, which includes the Greenland Minister of Education, hopes to be able to apply research on early education in Hawai'i to its own system.

"They're here to gather ideas and information on quality early childhood programs," according to Wayne Watkins, director of the UH-Manoa Children's Center.

The delegation also toured Punana Leo Preschools in Hilo and visited the state Senate today.
