Testimonials
My son has been attending the after-school program and the summer camps at Kids Elite for the past 2 years. In addition to the enriching program, I am impressed that Kids Elite has been able to assemble a group of like-minded kids that are so disciplined; there are no bullies, bad behavior, or distracting antics, and the kids can concentrate on learning and doing projects.
One thing that I love about Kids Elite is that the older students are given responsibilities as an instructors and they lead and teach younger students. My son is building confidence and learning important leadership skills that he wouldn't have learned in a regular school setting or aftercare program.
We have tried multiple other aftercare and camps around Alameda and truly this is the best option.
My son looks forward to going to Kids Elite every day and loves all the teachers there. Kids Elite is the best!
Kids Elite has been amazing for our son. He entered kindergarten this year and we needed an afterschool care solution. Since we had just moved, we were unable to find somewhere to take him which is initially why we opted for Kids Elite because they had a space for him. What a stroke of luck!
He is a big lover of science and art and has flourished with the help of the attentive staff. He comes home every day so excited to tell us all about the project he completed that afternoon. Even though he is one of the younger kids at the school, he has formed friendships with all of the kids, even the older ones. The staff really strives for kindness and respect as a pillar of their program and it shows. They also do an excellent job of communicating how the students are doing and even go above and beyond customizing some of the curriculum based on kids' interests. If we had to do it over again, we'd choose Kids Elite again in a heartbeat. We truly could not recommend them enough.
