Alpha-Kidz International

My 4-​year-​old daughter absolutely loves her school. She goes to the Academy (not the preschool). She is already reading, writing, problem solving, memorizing extensive choreography, and taking a huge interest in science. She goes to bed excited when she knows the next day is school, is running for the door when we get there, and talks about it all afternoon when she gets home.
Miss Jessie owns/​operates the school, and is a published author with a master of education and child psychology as well as being a certified Montesorri teacher. Besides these great credentials, she has a real passion for teaching and it shows! The other teachers working there share her style of being kind, fair, and firm. The academics at this school FAR exceed any other programs I’ve seen… that being said, you sometimes hear of high performing schools pressuring the kids into learning, and their academic performance comes at the sake of being kids. NOT SO here. I honestly don’t know how they do it, but when I walk in the front door, the kids are engaged, happy, and learning. They are thrilled to be there, and they do so well because Miss Jessie knows how to bring out the best in them. She teaches to their strengths and helps with their weaknesses, and the staff makes learning and being there fun.
I adore this school and can’t wait to send my other children when the time comes.

An education at Alpha Kidz International is truly one of the best gifts we could ever give our daughter! Alpha Kidz International is the most academically AMAZING school we have encountered! Not only are the academics at this school unparalleled, Ms. Jessie and her amazing staff foster a love of learning in an environment that is loving, encouraging and truly stimulating. The academic achievements of the children in this school, which currently range in age from two to seven, are beyond impressive. The learning environment at Alpha Kidz International is so much fun, the children have no idea how much they are learning or how amazing their academic achievements are for their age. Ms. Jessie and her teachers truly instill a love of learning in the children. It is quite awe-​inspiring to see 2-​year-​olds write their names, 3-​year-​olds reading, 4-​year-​olds writing from 1 – 100, five-​year-​olds writing full page stories, 6-​year-​olds reading years beyond their grade level and performing higher level math i.e., basic algebra, geometry, double digit addition and subtraction, multiplication, writing journals, etc. Additionally, these children are exposed to the arts, music, multiple languages, cursive writing, world history, musical instruments, etc. The children also have extensive public speaking opportunities and put on extraordinary performances several times per year. The environment at Alpha Kidz truly fosters a love of learning in every child that enters the school. The children have so much fun learning at this school and it is evident from the moment you open the front door.
In the past, Alpha Kidz International stopped at kindergarten. However, after years and years of parents, including ourselves, imploring Ms. Jessie to continue her remarkable educational program, she was finally convinced! Alpha Kidz now goes through the sixth grade! I should note that Alpha Kidz is starting slowly with first graders and will continue to grow each year. Our daughter is in Ms. Jessie’s inaugural first grade class and it has been extraordinary. Our daughter is excited to go to school every day and never wants to leave. The curriculum is stimulating and engaging. We can give no higher recommendation than Ms. Jessie and Alpha Kidz International!
Just to give others an idea of the types of performances and presentations the kids are exposed to at Alpha Kidz, I am providing a link to some of the school’s
videos – https://​www​.youtube​.com/​r​e​s​u​l​t​s​s​e​a​r​c​h​_​q​u​e​r​y​=​a​l​p​h​a​+​k​i​d​z​+​i​n​t​e​r​n​a​t​ional
These videos are even more incredible when you consider that the kids in these videos range in age from 2 to 6!

This school is EXCEPTIONAL. The teachers are warm and caring, the academics far surpass anything that I have ever seen in a preschool, and the director cares for the children like her own.
My children are reading, writing and learning language several grade levels above their peers. My five year old is writing stories, taking spelling tests and LOVING it. She can’t wait to open her homework! My three year old is counting to twenty in Spanish and Mandarin and writing her name! Both of them love going to school, love their teachers, and have a sense of community that we haven’t seen in the other preschools that we have attended in Santa Clarita.
Jessie instills in her children a fantastic love of learning that will be with them forever. I wish that we had found Alpha Kidz many years ago. Jessie, Craig and the rest of the Alpha Kidz staff are AMAZING!

Jessie Kodish and the entire staff and the family of teachers at Alpha Kidz are the most dynamic group of educators I have had the honor of knowing and getting to love and care for. It’s easy to love and care for people that love and care for your children. It is easy to care and love the Alpha Kidz team because my children talk about their school all day and talk about what they learned during the day with out being asked. That to me is every parent’s dream come true; to have your child «spell it out» for you with out asking «how was your day», «what did you learn»? My two children who have attended this school all their lives will not attend any other schools as long as Jessie and her amazing husband (Craig) keep their doors open. If it were not for Alpha Kids my children would not be confident enough to take on theater classes, dance classes and both playing piano. The curricula at Alpha Kidz is unmatched; we constantly ask the parents of children that have moved on from Alpha Kidz and their children are top of their classes; you deduce from that what you will. For the amount you pay at the Christian schools (and we looked into ALL OF THEM) you get nothing compared to what you will get at Alpha Kidz. Those schools sell hype and Jessie and Craig are real educators whom love the children as if they were their own! For a school that started out from the living rooms and the kitchens of Jessie and Craig’s home; they have sure come a long way and watch out Charter and Christian Schools, you have met your match! Alpha Kidz is the real MCCOY! Let’s take back the learning process and really challenge our children to be the leaders of tomorrow. You set the bar so high Jessie and Craig; no one can match the devotion and education at Alpha Kidz International. Thank you thank you thank you!

This School is like Santa Clarita’s best kept secret!
While visiting several preschool options in 2010 I took a break to have a bite to eat and picked up the local classified ads. THere I found the ad for Alpha Kidz International (what a blessing). I was a little thrown off when I found out the school was run out of a home, but I took the chance and made an appointment to visit the school. After meeting with the Director Mrs. Jesse and seeing her overwhelming enthusiasm for children and teaching, I knew immediately that I would be enrolling my son. Unfortunately there was a wait list but he was in within 6 months. At 3 my son was acing spelling test and perfecting his writing on a daily basis. At 4 he was reading Dr. Suess books from begining to end. At 5 his reading skills are at least at a 3^rd grade level and his math skills are beyond my expectation. He is now learning 3 languages, and his math skills are beyond my expectation.
My second son did not have to be on the wait list because he already had a sibling at the school. I have to mention that I was worried about my youngest child because he has difficulty focusing, would rather play, thinks everything is a joke and acts like life is one big party. However, with time, patience and with dedication from the staff, my youngest has developed a love for learning literally (it seems) overnight.
The school has since then expanded and has 2 locations. THe wait list may not be that long anymore.
This school is exceptional! Money well spent! The instruction plan is amazing and truly works. To write down all the things that these children learn at the school would take a book. One would truly have to visit the school to really see the amazing things happening.
I will definitely be sad when my eldest graduates in June to go off to 1^st grade. It too bad that Alpha Kidz does not extend to the Elementary level.
Highly recommended!
