Rock your diapers off at First Years Hawaii’s first annual Rockin’ Hula Baby event!Rumors Night Club will be transformed into an afternoon dance party for families to “cut a rug” after their mid day naps. Come down and rock out in the animal cages to the hippest tunes in town!

Rockin’ Hula Baby will feature pop, rock, hip hop, reggae you name it spun by a live DJ. For the kids entertainment there will be bubbles, hula hoops, books, games and of course lots of dancing! The event will also feature stimulating, educational and Hawaiian cultural activities children and families will enjoy, such as story telling by First Years Hawaii’s puppet Nohea and activity sheets that encourage learning Hawaiian language. Healthy snacks will be provided, and for adult convenience there will be a diaper changing station and cocktails will be available for non driving parents.

RHB will cater to the needs of every child and their family by including different areas where kids can play with toys that stimulate fine motor skills and strategic thinking to quite corners and the wild dance floor. The quiet room will feature books by Kamehameha Publishing, and for the “wild child” we will have two animal cages where they a can dance the afternoon away.

Only family members accompanied by a keiki (child) will be admitted. Age group that will benefit from the afternoon festivities are 0 – 8 year olds. Tons of free parking!

Nohea has two brothers and a sister. They all live with their parents in Kahalu’u. They love it there because of its green plants, and closeness to the ocean. They love waking up to the crow of the roosters and the smell of the ocean. Sometimes they help their grandpa make their monthly imu to cook their food for the week.

Nohea’s favorite pastime is going to the beach with her family. She also loves to go hiking at Hawai’i’s different trails, and discovering its special plants and animals. She also loves hula, and learning about different people and places. When she’s not outdoors, her second best outlet is reading a book. Through reading, Nohea likes engaging in adventures and learning new things in books.

Nohea could be considered curious and adventuresome. She is very nice and well liked by her friends. She respects her teachers and parents, and she strives to always do her best in all she does.

Nohea will be available for bookings this fall. Please contact First Years Hawaii at phone: (808) 531-6016 or email: fyh@firstyearshawaii.org
