Founded in 1973, Fairfax-San Anselmo Children’s Center has provided early care and education for over 50 years. The Center’s mission is to provide high quality early care and education to children, supporting a diverse population of families and community, with a goal of supporting and increasing children’s school readiness skills while providing a safe and healthy learning environment, enhancing family well-being, and fostering parent leadership in the community. The program is deeply rooted in the needs of working parents and serves the workforce in the community by operating year-round. It offers parent workshops and other services to support family well-being and parent leadership and collaborates with the Seiderman Legacy Children’s Fund. Founder Ethel Seiderman established the Center, and the Historic Deer Park School property was purchased as a permanent home for the program.
