After-School Options

There are several options available for your child and family before and after school. Some of these options are very popular and fill up quickly, so reach out directly to the program you are interested in as soon as possible.

MARIN DAY SCHOOL EXTENDED DAY SERVICE (EDS)

EDS is a state-licensed center located onsite at each of the five public elementary schools in Mill Valley. At Marin Day Schools EDS programs, children participate in extracurricular experiences that include: art, science and nature, language and social development, computer literacy, dramatic play, games and sports, math, music and movement, special events, and homework support. The curriculum is based on Bright Horizons' World at Their Fingertips, a program that empowers children to become confident, successful, life-long learners and secure, caring people. Centers are open from 7:30am to 6:30pm every school day. Special camp programs are also offered on most holidays and school recesses. More information is available at Marin Day School or contact 415-388-8304 or tamvalley@brighthorizons.com.

TAMALPAIS COMMUNITY SERVICES DISTRICT “TIA’S AFTER SCHOOL” PROGRAM

The supervised playground, also called Tia's, is available until 5:30 pm daily through the Tam Community Services District. The price is extremely reasonable but please note that the student-to-adult supervision ratio is quite high, making this program most appropriate for our 2nd-5th grade students.

MILL VALLEY COMMUNITY CENTER AFTER-SCHOOL ENRICHMENT PROGRAM

The Recreation Department’s After-School Enrichment Program was developed over 20 years ago to establish programming for Kindergarten through fifth-grade students.  As a successful outcome of the 1995 partnership between the City of Mill Valley, the Mill Valley School District, parents and the Recreation Department, the Mill Valley's Enrichment Program continues to provide a well-rounded recreational and educational after-school program for elementary and middle school students. Specialty Enrichment classes are offered on five school campus sites and at the Mill Valley Community Center for students K-5th grade.

Registration opens in August for the Fall session. For more information, check out the MVCC website, and call the Recreation Department at 415-383-1370.
