Welcome to Building Kidz of Palo Alto South!
We are thrilled to be part of the Building Kidz Worldwide family of campuses, providing local Palo Alto families a plethora of services including toddler care, preschool, after-school for children up to 5th grade, and day and summer camp services.
If you are looking for local childcare with easy access and a phenomenal program, you found it! Our beautiful schoolhouse includes indoor and outdoor classrooms and is situated on a tranquil 0.7 acre campus. With easy access from both the 101 and the Central Expressway, we are a convenient option for any parent in the Palo Alto area.
We pride ourselves in delivering an exceptional preschool and childcare experience for children, leading to a love of learning, connection with the performing arts, and accelerated development of confidence, commitment, and character.
Our philosophy is to develop the “whole child”. We focus on 6 key areas of development: emotional, social, cognitive, physical, communication, and academic. Our program integrates the performing arts with an age-appropriate curriculum to accelerate whole child development. Our preschool children receive weekly lessons in dance, music, theater, and Spanish.
The curriculum at Building Kidz of Palo Alto South is a comprehensive arts-integrated learning program in which children develop skills and knowledge of math, reading, music, arts, social skills, self-control and self-sufficiency, morality, fine and gross motor skills, and emotional expression.
Our learning modules also include engaging lessons for primary-school aged children up to fifth grade during after-school hours.
This unwavering commitment to excellent instruction for families is what makes Building Kidz schools a leader in education and childcare within their respective communities, and we couldn’t be more pleased to bring that same commitment to our friends and neighbors here in Palo Alto.
Our Management
Cynthia Alvarez - Director
Building Kidz of Palo Alto South
Hello Everyone!
My name is Cynthia Alvarez and I am the Director at local Palo Alto Building Kidz Preschool. I started working in Early Childhood Education (ECE) in 1995 after earning an AA Degree in ECE. Prior to joining Building Kidz, I held positions of Preschool Director or similar at several other Bay Area child learning facilities.
I am passionate about working with children and I enjoy playing a role in molding children during their early childhood years to have the confidence and drive to succeed while building their individuality and character. My greatest joy has been seeing my students succeed and become successful as adults, and I am looking forward to experiencing the same with families in the Palo Alto community. In my spare time I enjoy mystery novels, spending time with my cats, and going to the beach with my husband.
I hope to have the opportunity to meet you soon and welcome you to the Building Kidz of Palo Alto South family!
We are always looking for great teachers!
