Kitchen Assistant

Hawaiʻi Kai Preschool

10:00 AM – 1:00 PM | Monday–Friday
$18–$20 per hour | $750 New Hire Bonus

Do you love children and believe food is love? 💛
Our Hawaiʻi Kai Preschool is looking for a caring, dependable Kitchen Assistant to help keep 35 hungry keiki (and 5–6 staff!) happy and well-fed each day.

This is the perfect role for someone who:

• Enjoys working around children

• Has experience feeding a crowd (large family, church events, group gatherings, etc.)

• Wants meaningful part-time work during the day

• Believes even small roles make a big difference

What You’ll Do:

• Dish out a delicious lunch delivered by our catering partner

• Serve meals to classrooms with care and attention

• Wash breakfast and lunch dishes

• Help maintain a clean, organized kitchen space

• Support meal routines that help children feel safe and cared for

You’ll be trained on everything you need to know — but if you’ve prepped meals for large groups before, that’s a big plus!

Why Join Kamaʻaina Kids?

We are:

• A nationally accredited preschool

• Hawaiʻi’s largest locally owned nonprofit childcare provider

• A Top Workplace

• A team that truly values every role — including the people behind the meals

Even though this is a 3-hour position, you are a vital part of our school community. Children remember who feeds them. 💛

What We Offer:

• $750 New Hire Bonus

• Competitive pay ($18–$20/hr depending on experience)

• Paid Time Off (yes, even part-time!)

• College Tuition Reimbursement

• Generous Childcare Discount

• A supportive, welcoming team

If you’re looking for a meaningful part-time position where you can make a difference in the lives of young children every single day, we’d love to meet you.

Come help us nourish Hawaiʻi’s littlest learners — one meal at a time.
