Marin Art Daycare was founded on a simple but powerful belief: every child deserves the opportunity to create, explore, and express themselves through art.
What began as a passion for nurturing creativity has grown into a nonprofit organization committed to providing meaningful artistic experiences that inspire confidence, encourage imagination, and help children develop valuable life skills.
Through hands-on projects, creative exploration, and supportive guidance, we help young artists discover the joy of creating something uniquely their own.
Our mission is to empower children through creativity, arts education, and artistic expression while fostering confidence, curiosity, and a lifelong appreciation for the arts.
We believe art is more than an activity—it is a powerful tool for learning, communication, self-discovery, and personal growth.
Every program, project, and creative experience is designed to help children develop their talents while building the confidence to express themselves and engage with the world around them.
We envision a future where every child has access to meaningful artistic opportunities that encourage creativity, inspire innovation, and strengthen community connections.
By fostering a love for art at an early age, we hope to inspire future generations of creative thinkers, problem-solvers, and community leaders.

We encourage children to think imaginatively, explore new ideas, and embrace creative expression.

We believe every child deserves a safe and supportive environment where they can develop confidence in their abilities and ideas.

We recognize the power of art to bring people together, foster understanding, and strengthen communities.

We inspire curiosity, exploration, and a love of learning through hands-on creative experiences.

We strive to create opportunities where every child feels welcomed, valued, and encouraged to participate.

The impact of art extends far beyond the classroom. Through creative experiences, children develop critical thinking skills, improve communication, strengthen problem-solving abilities, and build confidence that carries into every aspect of their lives.
Our programs provide opportunities for children to explore their creativity while forming meaningful connections with peers, families, educators, and the community.
Every artwork created represents more than a project—it reflects growth, imagination, and the unique voice of a young artist.
Jonio Siqueira founded Marin Art Daycare with a vision to create a place where children can explore their imagination, build confidence, and discover the joy of artistic expression. Combining his passion for art, education, and community, Jonio has dedicated himself to providing young artists with a nurturing environment where creativity can flourish.
He believes that art is a powerful tool for personal growth, helping children develop confidence, problem-solving skills, and the courage to express their unique perspectives. Through Marin Art Daycare, Jonio strives to make meaningful arts experiences accessible to every child, encouraging them to dream boldly, create freely, and celebrate their individuality.
For Jonio, every child is an artist with a unique story to tell, and every creative experience is an opportunity to inspire lifelong curiosity, confidence, and self-expression.
