The nonprofit Imua Family Services provides early childhood development services to children with developmental delays, special needs and disabilities. Parents will have an opportunity to speak with Imua Family Services therapists regarding their children's strengths and any possible areas of concerns, growth and development. There will be individual tables where parents can have a private one-on-one conversation with trained staff.

The event will feature activities on the center stage throughout the day, including story time sessions and puppet entertainment by Special Instruction teacher Rochelle Dunning and Imua Family Services Executive Director Dean Wong, plus guest appearances by Hello Kitty in the morning and afternoon. Maui Taiko will perform at noon.
