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.

Hi Everyone! My name is Courtney and I have been working with children ages 0 -10 for about 10 years. I have had a passion for teaching and children since I was very young. I began my own babysitting and tutoring business when I was 15 years old. My passion for children and goal of teaching led me to obtain my Associates degree in Education in 2021 and I began my preschool teaching career right after. The things I love most about being a teacher is watching the children gain confidence in themselves, the excitement they get as they complete challenging tasks & all the smiles and laughs. I can’t wait to meet you all and make memorable experiences with all of the children, I am excited to join the Kids Konnect team!
