PM Support

Aug 2019 – June 2020, Non-Exempt Part-Time (M-F 1:45pm – 5:00pm)

Reports to Director of After School Programs

 

Marin Country Day School, an independent, coeducational day school with an enrollment of 580 students in grades K-8, is currently seeking to fill the PM Support position for their after-school extended care program (PM).

 

PM is the after-school care program available to students in grades K-4. The PM Program is led by the Director of After School Programs and the PM Coordinator, with four qualified instructors assisting. Considered a place for kids to play and have fun, PM provides a balance between structured and self-directed activities. PM instructors encourage students to use their creative minds through various structured art and building projects, while building on the skills of teamwork and developing self-esteem through sporting games and activities. For children interested in a quieter environment, there is a space dedicated to working on homework, reading or other independent activities.
