Students at Central Union Church Preschool can return to class Monday after their classrooms burned down in Makiki last week.

School officials plan to use the library and part of the parish hall.

The fire broke out early on Oct. 22. About 50 students were displaced.

Parents said they are grateful for all the community support.

"The zoo's been wonderful. They've let us come down to the zoo and the Bishop Museum, and us moms have all been getting together. We've got a great hui going, too. So, we're keeping the kids busy," student's mother Patti Yasuhara said.

Honolulu police are investigating the fire as a first-degree arson case.

The school is waiting on portables classrooms to arrive. The church plans to build a new building.
