ROBSON AFTERCARE

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 mogrady@townofsananselmo.org to inquire about availability and request a registration packet. Early Release - $32/day Late Release - $24/day LOCATION: Robson-Harrington House, 237 Crescent Road, San Anselmo PROGRAM DIRECTOR: Mattie O’Grady (415) 258-4670 or mogrady@townofsananselmo.org ROBSON STAFF: (415) 497-8848

You may turn in your old gas leaf blower and receive a rebate for up to 50% (max. $150/unit) when you buy a new electric one.
