There was a child went forth everyday,
And the first object he looked upon,
that object he became
And that object became part of him for the day
or a certain part of the day
Or for many years, or stretching cycles of years

 Welcome to the community of Marin Day Schools, a San Francisco bay area nonprofit childcare organization, that provides the highest quality early childhood education and a nurturing home away from home for children. Thanks to technology, scientists now understand how the brain functions at different ages and stages. From birth to five, the brains of children are much more active than at any other time in life!  Early experiences have a direct impact on how people develop, their ability to learn and how they deal with cognitive and emotional issues throughout their entire lives. Early childhood education matters and makes a difference!

The family of Marin Day Schools is composed of students, parents, teachers and  administrators.  We believe that children's knowledge of themselves and the world around them grows from significant pleasurable learning experiences. Marin Day Schools provides programs, curriculum and people that support and foster a way for every child to succeed to their full potential academically and in life.
