About Us

Fostering keiki’s natural desire to learn and strengthening their lifelong enthusiasm for learning.

Central Union Church Preschool (CUPS) began on the morning of October 16, 1928, when fourteen children walked in through the garden gates. At the end of the school’s first year of operation, the announcement appeared in the Church’s Sunday bulletin on June 16, 1929: “The Central Union week-day Kindergarten has closed a very successful term…” Even at the earliest start, it was evident that the Church’s current mission statement of “We Engage and Embrace all as we seek to Embody Christ” permeated throughout the ”cooperative playschool.” Today, CUPS remains a thriving, vibrant preschool program within the community that strives to serve children and families from various backgrounds.  The early learning years that keiki and families experience at CUPS sets a solid foundation for the future, builds special bonds, and creates enduring memories.
