Testimonials
My child attends the Kids Elite after-school program while she's in kindergarten, and I couldn't be happier with her experience. She comes home buzzing with excitement, eager to share about their latest projects in AI storytelling and web design. What I love most about Kids Elite is their philosophy that learning shouldn't be confined by age. They embrace mixed-age classrooms and emphasize teamwork in many activities. As a result, my child's abilities and perspectives have advanced beyond her peers'. She's now tackling math at a second-grade level and absolutely loves it.
Another aspect I appreciate is how Kids Elite seamlessly blends learning with outdoor activities. Located just across from the Lincoln park, they frequently incorporate outdoor play and exploration into their curriculum. From collecting samples for microscopic observation to engaging in outdoor classes, they strike a perfect balance between education and recreation. Most importantly, my child is happy and genuinely enjoys learning.
I'm particularly impressed by Kids Elite's initiative to showcase student work on platforms like YouTube and their own website. It's a fantastic opportunity for children to share their creations with a wider audience. If you're curious, you can check out some of the AI storytelling on their YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@Kidselite94501 (https://www.youtube.com/@Kidselite94501).

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 could not 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 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.

Our family has tried several after-school programs, and Kids Elite is, hands down, the best one out there. Our son, who is a huge tech enthusiast, has loved every moment of his time here. The staff are highly attentive and go out of their way to ensure each child's interests are nurtured. The hands-on coding sessions, interactive STEM projects, and even outdoor adventures like "Tech Treasure Hunts" have been incredibly engaging for him. It's not just an after-school program; it's a place where kids grow socially and academically. Plus, the frequent updates from the staff keep us involved in our son's progress. We truly appreciate the thoughtful approach to learning and development here!

I feel like we tried every after-school program on the island for our older child, but nothing fit until Kid's Elite. Some were too unstructured for her, and she'd just wait around bored until it was time to be picked up. Others were more interesting but her enjoyment was spoiled by a few kids that would act out or bully her. After many years of this it was wonderful to see her excited about spending time at Kid's Elite. She especially loved the hunts for tardigrades in Lincoln Park, learning to program in Scratch, and as she got older mentoring the younger kids. She's aged out, but our youngest is now enrolled and loves the green-screen movie-making and cooking classes.
If you look at the one-star reviews on this site you'll see they're all from people whose kids either weren't admitted or were Summer-camp students that were asked not to re-enroll. I can understand their frustration. It's hard to hear that your child is acting up or doesn't listen, and I sometimes wonder if my children would have been accepted if they had been hangry or just having a bad day when we took our tour. But I also know that whatever Kiki, Cesar and the rest of the staff are doing is working and has made an environment our kids love.

Kids Elite has been a perfect fit for our daughter, who is in 2nd grade. She used to be quite shy, but the supportive and inclusive environment at Kids Elite has brought her out of her shell. Now, she's leading group activities and even performing in their drama workshops. I love that the program combines creative arts, science experiments, and outdoor education, allowing the kids to explore different interests. Plus, their approach to promoting teamwork and empathy is outstanding. The team here truly cares about each child's growth, and we feel incredibly lucky to be a part of this wonderful community.

My daughters have loved attending Kids Elite for the past two years. Before that, my oldest daughter was not as happy or successful at a different Mandarin-immersion after school program. From day one at Kids Elite, she came home saying she loved it, and continued to sing it's praises to this day. I think that's because Kids Elite has a lot more variety of activities for the kids to try - they're not just sitting at desks learning Mandarin all afternoon. They have 3-D printers, science, cooking, programming, visits to Lincoln Park right across three street, and even Spanish in addition to Mandarin. Miss Kiki, the owner / director, is the real deal. She's a kind, warm person who really cares about the kids and creating the best and most enriching experience possible for her students. As an example of what a principled person she is, when the government shutdowns happened a year or two ago, she provided free childcare to Coast Guard families during the furloughs. This is a great place with wonderful people.
