ROBSON AFTER CARE K-5th

This is an afterschool program where your kids will meet new friends, have fun, engage in well rounded activities, and most of all be in a safe environment. We also focus on cultivating a sense of community between our kids and staff everyday!

HOW WE WORK: Robson After Care (RAC) operates out of the Robson-Harrington House located at 237 Crescent Road. Participants from Wade Thomas Elementary School are picked up on campus by our staff and walked up to the house. Participants from all other schools are welcome, but must be dropped off at Robson. We are open until 6:00pm daily and follow the Ross Valley School District calendar. RAC staff will offer extended care for Kindergarten early-release or super minimum days. WHAT WE DO: Having nearly three acres of Robson-Harrington property at our disposal, we like to stay outdoors whenever weather permits. Playing kickball, tag, and imagination games are just some of the activities our kids love - but art projects and books are always on hand for those looking for more quiet activities. FEES & REGISTRATION: Please email robsonaftercare@townofsananselmo.org to inquire about availability and request a registration packet. Early Release - $32/day Late Release - $24/day

CHILDREN FOR CHANGE: INSPIRING COMMUNITY LEADERS

Ages 8-13 Instructor: Eric Brandt

Join like-minded young people who are passionate about big issues and inspired to make a change in the world! This enrichment program will energize students to see themselves as changemakers and take action that makes a real difference. Participants will play interactive games, meet with field experts (elected officials, non-profit leaders, scientists, filmmakers, and more), and participate in powerful simulations as they learn about global issues and encourage action in their own community.

The program incorporates all the great elements of Children for Change, a service-learning club that grew up in the Ross Valley School District. Children for Change students learn about an issue (such as climate change, social justice, homelessness or the environment) in a fun and engaging way and then inspire others to create change in their community through advocacy, youth philanthropy and service work. In addition to the after-school class, participants’ families will have access to join in a Change for Good Weekend - a weekend full of service opportunities geared towards young families. Added bonus - a Children for Change t-shirt for each participant! Read more about Children for Change’s work on their website. No class 10/11.
