The Community Learning Center at Ma'ili (CLC-M) on the mountainous west shore (Wai"anae Coast) of Oahu opened last year. CLC-M educates 245 preschoolers and 32 infants and toddlers. The center was made possible through a collaboration of Kamehameha Schools and the Department of Hawaiian Home Lands. In June 2012, the Hawaiian Homes Commission approved a 65-year lease to Kamehameha Schools for 40 acres on the former Voice of America site to develop the learning center.

The sign in front of the center says "E Komo Mai""?uwhich laterally means come inside or enter. The outdoor area behind the school offers pods of traditional play pieces for the different age groups, but what immediately catches the eye are custom climbing boulders dispersed throughout the outdoor play environment away from the play pods. The boulders, each unique in size, shape and configuration, are designed and fabricated by ID Sculpture. Founder Ian Glas developed a passion for rock climbing at an early age and gravitated to the climbing-wall industry. Dissatisfied with the plywood and steel fabrication methods, he and some like-minded climbers/fabricators set out to develop more flexible design materials. When Ian and company hit upon a cement coating mix that could be contoured to a structural armature, they felt they had arrived.
