Alan & Ian Segawa
“Sending Ian to Nuuanu Baptist Preschool has been a real blessing! We have been even more blessed since they started the TumbleBus program. Often times, Ian has trouble waking up in the morning, but when we tell him it’s TumbleBus Day, he quickly gets up. TumbleBus helps kids develop their motor skills and coordination, but best of all, it’s fun!”
