Good Beginnings Alliance
Hawaii's Keiki...safe, healthy, ready to succeed!

Aloha & Welcome! Good Beginnings is Hawaii's early childhood intermediary. We are bringing the best and most up-to-date resources, training, leadership and coordination to benefit Hawaii's keiki (children), their families, and the early childhood community.

In 1997, the Hawai'i State Legislature passed Act 77 creating the Good Beginnings Alliance.

Good Beginnings, working in partnership with families, communities, policy makers, early childhood providers, and advocates

  • Shapes public will and public policy
  • Mobilizes action, and
  • Maximizes resources

to ensure that all of Hawaii's keiki are safe, healthy and ready to succeed.

We know the brain is shaped in significant ways during the first five years of a keiki's life. Exciting research of the past decade on the basic wiring of the brain has helped us understand a keiki's ability to learn skills, feel emotions, make decisions, and form and maintain social relations. Experiences keiki have during the years from birth through age five lay the foundation for healthy development and successful lifelong learning.

Neglect and inadequate early care can prevent keiki from achieving their full potential, and can place them at risk for poor outcomes later in life with significant social costs. Good Beginnings provides community-based support, technical assistance, training and resources to enrich the early experiences of Hawaii's keiki and their families. Please join us to help give every keiki a good beginning in life!
