Meet Your Area Manager

Noelia Blanco-Cordero

Hello! I am Noelia Cordero. I joined AlphaBEST in 2020 and have been in love with the program ever since! Before AlphaBEST, I oversaw and led a group of college students who were a part of a Pre-K non-profit program whose purpose was to engage with families and children in under-resourced communities in Philadelphia. I obtained my Bachelor’s degree in human development and Community Engagement, with a concentration in Childhood Mental Health. I strongly believe that we can create stronger communities if we can engage and create relationships with schools, families, and children. I am so excited to serve and engage our school district, their families, and children.

Meet Your Regional Manager

Hi, I’m Robyn Knapp your friendly Regional Manager. 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”.
