Good Beginnings Alliance - Informational Guides

Good Beginnings is proud to present Hawaii-based publications that will provide our community with information and strategies that will ensure that all of Hawaii's children are safe, healthy, and ready to succeed.

Playing to Learn

This book is a complete how-to manual on leading and organizing a successful Play & Learn Group. What are Play & Learn Groups? Typically they are parents, grandparents, and or/family child care providers coming together with their young keiki to enjoy a morning of informal play activities. Usually there is a brief circle time for children as well as a discussion time for adults. To find out if there is a Play & Learn Group in your community, please visit your island page. For a copy of Playing to Learn, please send $24.95 to Good Beginnings Alliance, 33 South King Street, Suite 200, Honolulu, HI 96813.
