Upcoming Events

Our School Community

AKP is a community where families are welcomed and supported and where children and parents make connections with one another that often last beyond their preschool days.  You can help augment our programs by participating in our parent education series, school activities, fundraisers for scholarships and school development, potluck dinners, field trips and more.
 
The Parent Action Committee (PAC) plays a vital role in planning many of these special events.  PAC is a parent volunteer group dedicated to supporting community building with AKP families, offering activities and events, teacher appreciation, and raising money for the school.  The events and items PAC currently runs are The Mar Vista Artwalk, Make It Mar Vista, Teacher Appreciation Week, Parent Talks, Coffee Talks, Fundraising, Parent Outings, Family Outings, Graduation and Yearbook.

Why we Fundraise?

A Kid’s Place is a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt, non-profit corporation which means that all funds generated from the operation of AKP are retained by the corporation and are used solely for the operation of our programs and the furtherance of the educational objectives for which AKP was founded. 

Susie and Amanda do not own A Kid’s Place.  Like all of our teachers, they receive a salary, but any additional monies that come in are invested in the school. 

Organizational activities and major administrative decisions are overseen by our Board of Directors, made up of parents, staff and, occasionally, alumni.  The fact that we are non-profit means that contributions and other gifts to AKP are fully deductible under applicable state and federal income tax laws.
