After School Programs
The Marin Primary & Middle School After School program offers a safe and healthy environment in which children can relax, play, learn new skills, and build meaningful social relationships. The program offers diverse activities including sports, cooperative games, arts and crafts, homework lab, drama, and more. Our goal is to balance a need for guidance and supervision with the equally important need for spontaneity and self expression. We have a dedicated staff of creative and nurturing teachers who are instrumental in the facilitation and achievement of these goals.
