Meet Your Area Manager

Hi there, I'm Rachel Muldowney, your local Area Manager! I have been working in the child care industry for over a decade and have spent the past 4+ years within the Ridgewood School District. Being a positive part of a child's life has been something I pride myself on and I cannot wait to spread that positivity across the many schools throughout Ridgewood.

Meet Your District Manager

Hi, I’m Robyn Knapp your friendly Area Manager. I’ve been serving the Ridgewood and Saddle Brook communities for AlphaBEST for almost 1 year but I’ve been providing quality programs throughout Bergen County for the past 25 years. My degrees in Early Childhood Education and Sociology provide me the foundation for implementing successful early learning centers, before, after school, and summer camp programs for children of all ages. I pride myself on being present and in the moment with the children, their families, the community, and all my “Alpha Besties”.
