Where Play, Purpose, and Care Come Together

At Kids Konnect, we believe children thrive when they feel safe, supported, and inspired to explore.
Our nurturing educators guide every stage of early development with a play-based, STEAM-enriched curriculum that builds confidence, curiosity, and creativity.

We also prioritize health and well-being. Children enjoy fresh meals and two snacks daily, all prepared onsite—featuring 100% organic milk, yogurt, fruits, and vegetables.

With low student-to-teacher ratios, every child receives the personalized care and attention they deserve. And since we're open year-round with only one week off in December, Kids Konnect is a dependable, joyful place for children to grow, learn, and thrive.

What Parents Are Saying

We proudly serve families across San Mateo with two thoughtfully designed campuses

"We’ve seen such a difference since our son started preschool here. He’s curious, confident, and constantly asking questions! The STEAM-based activities really keep him engaged, and the teachers do such a great job of encouraging his creativity and problem-solving."

Emily R., Parent of a 3-year-old

"We feel like our daughter is truly ready for kindergarten thanks to the incredible Pre-K program. The balance of academics and play has built her confidence, and the social-emotional skills she’s gained are just as valuable. The teachers are kind, thoughtful, and truly invested in every child."

Jason L., Pre-K Parent

"We were so nervous about leaving our baby for the first time, but the infant teachers made us feel completely at ease. They’re warm, gentle, and so attentive. We get daily updates and photos, and it’s clear our daughter is loved, safe, and thriving. We couldn’t ask for more!"

Kevin M., Parent of an infant

"Our toddler comes home every day full of stories and new words—it’s amazing! The teachers are so patient and nurturing, and we’ve seen real growth in his independence and social skills. We love how the program blends learning with fun in such a natural, playful way."

Ami S., Parent of a toddler
