The Cole Academy

History

Established in 2003.

The Cole Academy was started by working parents who wanted excellent care and education for their young children. The mission of The Cole Academy is to educate and nurture Hawaii’s youngest people, while giving families peace of mind and the support of an educational community. Our vision is a community that thrives when its families’ needs are met, and when its children develop a lifelong love of learning, fostered by their earliest teachers. We value children, families and teachers. We provide for their mutual success with a focus on education, care, connections and community.

The Cole Academy was founded by Gina Mangieri & Doug Ewalt when their first son, Cole, was born. They were searching for the highest-​quality childcare that would have a strong focus on academic & social kindergarten readiness. As working parents, they also needed a facility that could provide infant-​toddler care in addition to preschool, and one that would accommodate their schedules — opening early and closing late, with few closed days throughout a calendar year. Partnering with experts in early childhood education, they started The Cole Academy with the goal of providing exceptional care and education for children, and a reliable resource and workplace solution for parents.
