Full Ranking Detail
school-age
AlphaBEST @ Riddle in Frisco is an on-campus after-school enrichment program at Riddle Elementary serving school-age children from dismissal (2:50 p.m.) until 6:30 p.m. The program integrates academic support with structured extracurricular activities—coding, robotics, art, drama, Spanish, Mandarin, sign language, and engineering projects—all included at no extra charge. Competitive pricing ($64–$80 per week depending on attendance) and discounts for siblings, reduced/free lunch families, and military households make it accessible to working families. As a before/after program only, it is not suitable for families needing full-day care, but the on-site school location eliminates transportation logistics entirely.
