Honolulu Friends Meeting has an active First Day School held from 10:00-10:50 (55) at which time the children return to join those participating in the Meeting for Worship. First Day School is taught by volunteers from the members and attenders of our meeting. Two adults are present in the area where classes are held. Children of all ages can participate, be they toddlers and or are in their early childhood to adolescent teens. If you would like to become involved, please talk to a teacher or any member of the First Day School Committee.


Activities and lessons are diverse, fun, and instructive. Classes include worship, discussion, projects, and games. Our program is planned around four themes: Quaker Practice and History, the Bible and God, Quaker Testimonies/Social Justice, and Summer Fun and Earthcare. There is enough flexibility in the themes to accommodate special events in the community or the opportunity to invite special resource people. On the fourth Sunday of each month the children go on a field trip.
