Back to School: After-school and daycare

Now that the kids are heading back to school, what are you going to do with them after hours.

Drake High School starts this Wednesday, Aug. 18, and the Ross Valley schools (Wade Thomas, Manor, Brookside, White Hill) start Aug. 23. Now, the kids will be out of the house - at least some of the time. But, what are you going to do with them after school, before school? And, most importantly, with the ones to young to send to classes yet?

All the schools run exemplary programs throughout the year. Fairfax Open Circle Arts and Sports offers a range of programs for new moms, art classes for younger kids, babysitting certification for older kids, and San Anselmo Recreation has a full calendar of sports and arts programs -- which are also open to Fairfax residents.

Let us help you find the perfect program. Below is a list of preschools in the community, after school programs, and specialty programs for kids.
