West Berkeley Library: The West Berkeley Library is a beautiful facility and a great place to support the development of our children's literacy skills. Our preschool program visits the library regularly for their reading activities.

 

Strawberry Creek Park and Orchard: Nature and outdoor learning are an important aspect of the CEC curriculum. Each week, our preschool program enjoys the park and orchard as a standard weekly practice.

Lawrence Hall of Science: Each year, children visit the Lawrence Hall of Science, where they explore hands-on science exhibits, engage in discovery-based activities, and build curiosity about the world around them.

West Campus Swimming Pool: Through our long-term partnership, children ages 3 and older have the opportunity to participate in summer swim lessons, build water confidence, practice basic swimming skills, and enjoy a fun and safe outdoor learning experience.

​

City of Berkeley YouthWorks​:  CEC partners with the City of Berkeley YouthWorks program each year to provide employment experience to youth interested in developing a career working with children. We host approx. 10 youth workers per year, seasonally.
