Child Educational Center Community

Child Education Center (CEC) is a daycare and preschool located in Berkeley, CA.  CEC strives to provide a dynamic and thriving place for its community of children to grow, learn and engage with each other.  Our teachers are highly trained, experienced, and loving. Additionally, the school enlists the support and involvement of our families. CEC's teaching team, its parents, and other community members enrich the children's lives with music and dance classes, outdoor exploration, field trips and other activities.

Our vision is that “...learning and teaching should not stand on opposite banks and just watch the river flow by; instead, they should embark together on a journey down the water. Through an active, reciprocal exchange, teaching can strengthen learning how to learn.” – Loris Malaguzzi
