What families say

“We are so happy to have found Alpha Kids Academy. Luckily we were able to get a part time spot quickly which after just 1 week, 2 full days of attendance, we knew this was the place for our son to move to full time...” — Kristi B., Millbrae, CA

“A hidden gem in Menlo Park. As an Atherton mom I looked long and hard for a preschool/daycare for my son. Where he could do pre K curriculum and just be a kid.” — Robyn, Atherton, CA

“Every time I park in Alpha Kids parking lot and my 2.5 years old daughter shrieks in excitement and runs to the door; eager to greet her teachers and go in her classroom--- I know I have made the best choice.” — Momina M., San Mateo, CA
