A note on 1, 2 & 3 Day Options: As an after-school enrichment program with a deep focus on child friendship & family relationship development, we do not offer 1, 2 or 3day options. As an after-school enrichment program with a deep focus on child friendship & family relationship development, we do not offer 1, 2 or 3 day options. We want to share a bit about why we structure enrollment the way we do, because it really gets at the heart of what we're building. Mariposa Kids isn't an after-school care option — it's an enrichment program designed to support children's social-emotional development, build community, and help kids form real, lasting friendships. Those outcomes depend on consistency. When children attend together, day after day, week after week, they develop the trust and familiarity that allow play to deepen, conflicts to be worked through, and friendships to take root. That's the "power of play" we're after, and it's only possible when kids show up consistently alongside the same group of peers.

For that reason, we enroll children for either 4 or 5 days a week, and we don't offer 1-day or other partial schedules. A child attending one day a week would be stepping into a community that's been building all week. Read more about our desired impact and outcomes for children and families.

Mariposa Kids' After-School Program is a free-play centered program that brings together an average of 22 kids in grades TK to 5 in the hours after school at our new location in 3361 Mission Street. During this program, children experience exploration-based programming where they are able to partake in activities that include art projects, science experiments, reading, sports, outdoor play, homework help, and so much more.

We walk from Huerta Elementary to Upper Noe Valley Rec where we provide a first snack and approximately 90 minutes of outdoor play. We walk to our Clubhouse at 3361 Mission Street for additional activities and free play indoors. A second snack is served at 5pm and final pick-up for all children is 6pm.

Our After-School Program occurs on every SFUSD school day. Holiday Camps are available on select SFUSD school closure days for an additional fee.

Costs are $675/month for 5-days/week, $575/month for 4-days/week, 10% sibling discounts available.

A non-refundable $250 registration fee is required.
