Iolani/Punahou parents who homeschooled pre-k

Hello Iolani and Punahou parents! I’m reaching out to gather insights from those of you who chose to homeschool your pre-k children instead of enrolling them in traditional preschool or tutoring programs. Specifically, I’m curious about your experiences with recommendation letters for the Iolani and Punahou applications. If your child was accepted, what types of references did you utilize? While I understand the common advice suggests finding someone who has observed your child in typical educational settings, I’m interested in hearing success stories from alternative avenues. Did you turn to music, dance, or swimming instructors, or perhaps someone else who knows your child well? Your insights would be invaluable for families navigating this unique path. Thank you in advance for sharing your experiences!
