Meet Your Area Manager
Hello, I am Yulisa Angeles, the Area Manager of Oxnard. I am dedicated to our students and their families, ensuring that they have the most educational and fun experiences we have to offer. I have been hands-on in the classroom, doing the activities with the children and leading our staff to the best of my ability. Ensuring that the community we support is satisfied with the work provided, and that the children continue enjoying what we offer. We have a lot in store for us in the future, and I am more than happy to be part of that story.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who is AlphaBEST?
AlphaBEST Education has been providing before and after school programs since 2005. We currently serve approximately 30,000 students in 16 states. Family is important to us. We are a family-owned business and we take pride in the relationships we build with students, their parents, district staff, our staff, and the local communities that we become part of.
What are AlphaBEST programs like?
At AlphaBEST, we believe in the power of wonder, enabling and encouraging children to use their innate sense of imagination as we expand their horizons. We do far more than provide a safe, nurturing environment for children before and after school — we create rich, immersive experiences through a variety of enrichment activities including coding & robotics, digital animation, engineering, drama, arts, fitness, and more.
We provide a schedule that includes homework time, snacks, outdoor play, our signature enrichment curriculum every day, and student-choice clubs to round out each day.
Is a snack provided?
A daily snack is provided every day. Students are welcome to bring their own nut-free snacks from home if they prefer. All surfaces are cleaned before and after snack, and all students will wash hands prior to eating.
Who are AlphaBEST staff?
At AlphaBEST, we pride ourselves on our incredible staff members. Our staff will always be immediately visible for school administration, parents and students. You’ll recognize them by: AlphaBEST identification badge, and branded tee-shirt. AlphaBEST follows all procedures and regulations related to a license Child Care program including all staff passing numerous fingerprinted background checks. All staff participate in an extensive training program which provides everything they need to know about operating a safe and inclusive program for our students.
Can you accommodate my special needs child?
AlphaBEST believes in creating learning environments where all children are welcome, and that includes children with special needs. Our staff receives special training to ensure that children with special needs can increase their skills and build their potential in meaningful, authentic enrichment opportunities. We will collaborate with our Inclusion Specialists, families, and school to ensure that your child has every opportunity to be successful in our program. To discuss your specific needs, please contact your Area Manager.
How do you handle behavioral issues?
AlphaBEST employs a Tiered System of Supports we call Creating Connected Communities. All students actively participate in building the foundation for our after-school community where they discuss the importance of their community, the rules, and respecting and welcoming each other. When students struggle within those parameters, our staff will provide additional support to that student and will share the progress with the family. If additional supports are not successful, our staff will arrange a meeting with the family to explore additional options.
How do you keep students safe & healthy?
Student safety is a top priority for AlphaBEST. Our staff are trained in all emergency procedures and drills that align to each specific school and district. In addition to preparedness for responding to weather, earthquakes, fires, and intruders, staff are trained in first aid including CPR, airborne illnesses, epi-pen administration, etc. Staff clean all surfaces regularly and students wash hands periodically, before snack and at other designated times during the program.
