👩🏫 Meet Our Preschool Director
Kona Karate Preschool is led by Rebecca Lawrence, Preschool Director and Program Developer.
Rebecca holds a Bachelor of Science in Exercise and Sports Science and has additional training in communication, social behavior, and human motor development. A mother of two, she created this preschool to honor how young children truly learn—through movement, connection, and play.
With over 10 years of competitive gymnastics and currently testing for her black belt in karate, Rebecca brings unique athletic expertise to the classroom. She safely introduces age-appropriate gymnastics and martial arts skills, offering movement experiences rarely found in traditional preschools.
Her passion for early childhood development ensures every child builds confidence, curiosity, and strong foundational skills for lifelong learning.
