The Story
The program offers a high-quality early learning environment to promote cognitive, social, emotional, and physical development.
The Program is designed to meet the developmental needs of young children by providing an enriching experience that enhances each child’s cognitive, language, social, emotional, physical, and creative development.
In 1966, the Novato Youth Center began as a dream by families who wanted a safe and nurturing place for Novato’s youth. A decade later, after community organizing and fundraising, the newly built facility opened its doors. Initially named the Novato Boys Club, the Center evolved and became the Novato Youth Center in 1983.
North Marin Community Services evolved as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit on January 1, 2018 through a merger between the Novato Youth Center and Novato Human Needs Center.
We respect parents as the primary provider of care and nurturing, and we believe parents and teachers are partners in a child’s care and education. Our preschool is part of North Marin Community Services, whose organization-wide staff and volunteers support a range of community programs.
