Representative Comments

Shelley Sacks

Founder, Ohana International Preschool

At Ohana International Preschool, we have always respected each child's individuality and placed "play" at the center of our education. Early childhood is a very important period for children to learn about themselves, build relationships with others, and foster curiosity about the world.

What parents and alumni families have taught us about what makes Ohana special is its "Heart." We felt that same "Heart" in the Global KA Group.

Through this participation, we are greatly encouraged that the learning nurtured at Ohana will connect more naturally to their future growth and educational paths. We will continue to cherish a warm and enriching educational environment where children can grow freely and learn while fostering friendships.

Charles Knudsen

CEO, Global KA Holdings Inc.

The Global KA Group has been working to create an educational environment where children can connect with the world through English and expand their own potential.

With the addition of Ohana International Preschool, we can support the continuum of education from early childhood to further learning from a more long-term perspective. Moving forward, while valuing the unique characteristics of each educational institution, we will continue to support children in growing as "Life-long Learners" who continue to learn on their own.
