River Crew

Morning & Afternoon Child Care
River Crew is available to RMCS enrolled students. 

We are staffed for before- and after-school care on regular school days from 7:00am - 8:00am (before) and 3:15pm - 6:00pm (after).  On Fridays, after-school care hours are from 12:15pm - 6:00pm.

School Break & Non-school Days
To support our families during SCHOOL BREAKS and teacher development days, we are also open for modified hours care, from 8:00am - 5:00pm*.  During summer break, we will offer extended after care from 5:00pm - 6:00pm.

Unless a separate sign up form is distributed for the specific camp you are interested in, please use the enrollment form below to register your child for regular school child care or break/non school days listed below.  You may register your child any time.  We do ask that you register with as much advance-time (30 days is appreciated) so we can schedule staff accordingly.

Please turn in your child's Enrollment/Registration Form and payment into the school office.     Thank you!

Join the fun in River Crew as we host some of the best play dates in Petaluma! In the Montessori spirit, children are given their choice of activities within a peaceful, joyful, and inspiring environment. At any given time you'll find an individual child or a small group of friends playing games, cooking,  playing outside, conducting science experiments, or simply enjoying a good read.
