The Berkeley Child Development Centers (CDC) serve students from Berkeley and surrounding communities. More than 20% of BUSD preschool students qualify and participate in our Head-Start Program. In addition to students served by the state funded Child Development Funds, approximately 50 students participate in the BUSD Special Education Program in a variety of settings including full inclusion, integrated and special day classes.
The Berkeley Unified School District (BUSD) Early Childhood Education Department provides preschool programs that nurture young children’s physical, cognitive, social and emotional development, as well as develop kindergarten school readiness skills, empower families and respect the cultural and linguistic diversity and unique characteristics of our families.
Our mission is to create a safe and nurturing environment where all children are supported in their development of academic excellence, emotional security, healthy living, and self-expression.
