Welcome to the newest Kids Konnect Preschool - San Mateo Downtown!

Our newest Kids Konnect Preschool is centrally located in Downtown San Mateo, an area packed with Michelin-starred eateries, thriving small businesses and a history dating back to 1863.

Our San Mateo classrooms are buzzing with activities for your infant, toddler, preschool or pre-kindergarten child to experience. Our teacher to child ratio is amongst the lowest on the Peninsula and STEAM subjects (science, technology, arts, engineering and math) are at the heart of our play-based curriculum.

Ms Ria

School Director

BA in Child Development

Hello! My name is Ria Aguinaldo. I come to Kids Konnect with five years of experience in the early childhood education field. I have worked in preschool settings alongside both typically developing students and students with disabilities. I am an advocate for inclusive learning and am always looking for ways to create a diverse, equitable and nurturing learning environment for children and their families to thrive.

In my free time I enjoy spending time with my son. We love finding new places to eat and going on spontaneous adventures around the bay!

Ms Paula

Preschool Teacher

Over the past 30 years I have taught music and movement to various public and private schools. My favorite moments are what I refer to as “Light Bulb” moments when a child suddenly realizes that they have learned something new or accomplishes a self help task..

I’ve been through the highs and lows of parenthood which allows me to understand your child much better and care for them appropriately.

I look forward to getting to know your children and bringing the love of music into the program.

AA in Early Childhood Education

Hi! I'm Jackie, I grew up in a big family of eight and I'm a lucky Auntie of 10! I have been around children all my life and always loved teaching. I had wonderful teachers growing up who had a huge positive impact on my childhood and I knew as young girl that I wanted to be just like them. I truly believe that providing a nurturing environment for children helps them feel secure and ready to play and explore. I am grateful and excited to be a part of the Kids Konnect team! In my free time I enjoy going hiking or walking on the beach with my husband and Black Lab Osito which means teddy bear in Spanish!
