Established in 1981, Marin Day Schools is a nonprofit organization that provides early childhood education at two campuses in Mill Valley as well as extended day services at five schools in the Mill Valley School District. It is part of Bright Horizons Family Solutions, a provider of employer-sponsored child care and early education for more than 700 clients in the U.S., Europe and Canada.
The Hillside campus of Marin Day Schools evolved from its first preschool that opened in 1981 at the Tiburon Baptist Church. After 21 years at that site, the campus moved to the Edna Maguire elementary school grounds. The Hillside campus has four classrooms and outdoor playgrounds.
Marin Day Schools uses the "World at Their Fingertips" developmental, anti-bias and multicultural curriculum, which is child centered, hands-on, experiential, project-based and fun.
