About Us

In 2000, Betty's Children's Academy emerged to educate, inspire, and enrich the lives of infants, toddlers, and preschool children living in the Bay Area. In 2004, we expanded our services from a family childcare center to a preschool and child care center. This program also includes school age children. In 2010, Betty's Children's Academy self published an academic journal named "Ready Set Go! Preparing Preschoolers for Kindergarten".
