Alani Children's Center

Conveniently located on campus, the Alani Children's Center serves dual purposes: it provides quality early childhood care and education for children of the campus community, and also serves as a laboratory for the early childhood teacher training programs, service-learning and related programs in the University of Hawaii system.
