Abstract	Reported are findings of the 1985-86 program evaluation of the prenatal-to-preschool and preschool programs operating under the auspices of the Kamehameha Schools/Bishop Estate. Evaluation of the prenatal-to-preschool program (the Kupulani Program) included item analysis of the Questions about Pregnancy Test, development of a revised data collection and entry system, and a survey of former Kupulani participants. In general, former participants were pleased with the progress of their children in school. Evaluation of the five preschool programs used data obtained from parent interviews, children's responses on a battery of educational tests, and results from a hearing and articulation screening program. Findings indicated that the preschools were effective. Children demonstrated dramatic growth in the competencies measured by educational tests. They also showed more cognitive growth than other Hawaiian children and performed better than other entering kindergarten children of all ethnicities statewide on at least one major educational assessment. However, children's scores were not at the level of national norms, except in the area of psychomotor skills. Findings also indicated that Hawaiian children were more likely than non-Hawaiian children to fail the hearing screening. A pattern of significant relationship between hearing screening results and performance on tests of language skills 7 or 8 months later was found. (RH)
