Aloha Kākou,2016 was the year of innovation at INPEACE. The best business decision I made during that time was to invest in the Eureka! Ranch Innovation Engineering (IE) Lab. Ugly papayas, bamboo, a new bike, and a better way to get rid of ‘uku—our staff and friends generated incredible ideas for new products through IE. In the coming years, we aim to work on an invention(s) that will replace our heavy reliance on grants. IE has begun to transform the way we do business, inside and out. 2016 was also the year of diving deep in our commitment to authentic community engagement and distributed leadership. Our staff retreat on Hawai‘i Island, “E Ho‘i i Ka Piko Ēwe ‘Āina Kupuna,” was a great example of this. Thank you to

all those who contributed ideas and resources to the well-being of INPEACE so that we can serve our community in an excellent manner. Please know you are appreciated!We will also miss our beloved and long-term board member Georgiana Alvaro who passed in 2016. She left a legacy that will be remembered. A hui hou Gee.In 2017, we will be wholeheartedly focused on three things: bringing the community vision of expanding our reach to Kapolei via an EduCenter, creating new small businesses for families in our early childhood programs, and creating our own funding stream so we can dramatically increase the reach and impact of the work we do. E hana pū kākou.Me ka ha‘aha‘a, -Kanoe

Creating New Small Businesses in the Community

Newly funded at the end of 2016, this new project will allow us to bring design thinking, financial literacy, asset building, business planning, business development support systems, and individual coaching to the families in our early childhood programs. The effort is to create brand new industries, jobs, and businesses within the community to increase family economic security and well-being.

Since 2011, under the direction of the Digital Storytellers, the INPEACE Facebook page has gained 885 followers.

INPEACE Digital Storytellers were contracted by The Neighborhood Funders Group to produce two national videos.

Early Childhood Education

Although most people think it’s impossible for their child to attend a Family Child Interaction Learning program, in Keiki Steps, 19% of caregivers are an extended family member, 11% are a grandparent, and 18% are male.

Special note: Many in the country are concerned about children being cared for in unlicensed family childcare environments. We want to celebrate those providers who bring the children they watch to our programs with structured educational supports for both the childcare provider and the children themselves. 3%, or 20 of the 679 children enrolled, had nonfamily members bring them to Keiki Steps in 2016.

Keiki Steps families and children created and built their first aquaponics system at the Leihōkū site. Through a partnership with Hoa ʻĀina O Mākaha, five sites were provided with planter boxes for their outdoor classrooms.

INPEACE is in its second year of implementing Ellen Galinsky’s Mind in the Making executive functioning modules and training for Keiki Steps staff, parents and community members.

6,279 childrenhave been served since 2005.

92% of parents felt the program benefited them by making them feel more comfortable in the school environment, knowing what is expected in kindergarten, learning new ideas, and understanding how important it is to be involved in their child’s learning.

301 students were Native Hawaiian (65%), and 267 students had no preschool experience (58%).

6,287 keiki and families have successfully transitioned to 49 different schools across the state since 2004.

98% of parents believed the program helped their child to try new things, gain independence, make new friends, and view learning as fun.

Connecting Families to Early Childhood Education Programs

In 2016, on the Waiʻanae Coast, Parent Participation Preschool enrollment was at 133% of the slots filled, and the overall early childhood education utilization rate on the Coast was 108%—a direct result of the efforts of INPEACE’s Hoʻāla Recruiters.

Since 2011, Hoʻāla Recruiters helped 612 children from the Waiʻanae Coast to enroll in a preschool that best met their family’s needs. Through preschool subsidies, over $553,000 went back into the pockets of 87 families.

91 subsidy applications were submitted, a 28% increase from the previous year, of which 85% were for Native Hawaiian children. More than $69,000 was put back into the pockets of low-income families.

Recruiters visited 2,115 homes.INPEACE connected with 524 families and shared early childhood resources available in the community, with 149 of those families being through door-to-door recruitment.

152 keiki enrolled in an ECE program, of which 85% were Native Hawaiian.

Having money in pockets is important because according to a 2011 analysis by Greg J. Duncan and colleagues on the Panel Study of Income Dynamics, with just $3,000 of additional income for families at 1⁄5 or below the poverty line, there is a 17% increase in the child’s adult earnings, a standard deviation boost in the child’s educational achievement, and the child works an additional 135 hours per year after age twenty-five.

Since 2011, Hoʻāla Recruiters helped 612 children from the Waiʻanae Coast to enroll in a preschool that best met their family’s needs. Through preschool subsidies, over $553,000 went back into the pockets of 87 families.

91 subsidy applications were submitted, a 28% increase from the previous year, of which 85% were for Native Hawaiian children. More than $69,000 was put back into the pockets of low-income families.

Recruiters visited 2,115 homes.INPEACE connected with 524 families and shared early childhood resources available in the community, with 149 of those families being through door-to-door recruitment.

152 keiki enrolled in an ECE program, of which 85% were Native Hawaiian.

297 Early Childhood Education (ECE) Applications

78%of children and their families served were Native Hawaiian.

322 combinedparents (179) and children (143) received home visits. Of those, 289 combined parents (163) and children (126) received high- intensity services.

$18,936 was the average family income.

In the last five years, 456 families and 553 keiki received home visiting services.

82%of the parents surveyed said this program increased knowledge of their child’s growth and development and their confience as a parent.

Nurturing my child provides her with a sense of safety and comfort to learn.

“ ”

Having money in pockets is important because according to a 2011 analysis by Greg J. Duncan and colleagues on the Panel Study of Income Dynamics, with just $3,000 of additional income for families at 1⁄5 or below the poverty line, there is a 17% increase in the child’s adult earnings, a standard deviation boost in the child’s educational achievement, and the child works an additional 135 hours per year after age twenty-five.

Because Hoʻāla follows the school year calendar, data for this program encompasses the 2015–16 school year.

FUNDED BY: Kamehameha Schools and Henry A. Zuberano Early Education Fund of the Hawaiʻi Community Foundation.

I learned about milestones and where my child should be or what he needs to work on, helping me to be aware of his development for his age.

were filled out and submitted to 10 different early childhood programs.

Aloha Kākou,2016 was the year of innovation at INPEACE. The best business decision I made during that time was to invest in the Eureka! Ranch Innovation Engineering (IE) Lab. Ugly papayas, bamboo, a new bike, and a better way to get rid of ‘uku—our staff and friends generated incredible ideas for new products through IE. In the coming years, we aim to work on an invention(s) that will replace our heavy reliance on grants. IE has begun to transform the way we do business, inside and out. 2016 was also the year of diving deep in our commitment to authentic community engagement and distributed leadership. Our staff retreat on Hawai‘i Island, “E Ho‘i i Ka Piko Ēwe ‘Āina Kupuna,” was a great example of this. Thank you to

all those who contributed ideas and resources to the well-being of INPEACE so that we can serve our community in an excellent manner. Please know you are appreciated!We will also miss our beloved and long-term board member Georgiana Alvaro who passed in 2016. She left a legacy that will be remembered. A hui hou Gee.In 2017, we will be wholeheartedly focused on three things: bringing the community vision of expanding our reach to Kapolei via an EduCenter, creating new small businesses for families in our early childhood programs, and creating our own funding stream so we can dramatically increase the reach and impact of the work we do.
