About

Explore Children’s Community Center, a historic cooperative preschool in Berkeley offering play-based, diverse early education with active parental involvement. Since 1927 • Since 1927 Since 1927 • As a cooperative preschool, CCC’s mission is to create, for children and their families, a dynamic and diverse environment in which learning, empowerment and growth happen in the moment through play, creativity, connection, and community. • This school is truly amazing - I can’t say enough about how well they help the children learn about themselves and each other and how lovely the community is there. • Your kids will have a magical experience with lots of outdoor play, gardening, stories, songs and art plus you and your child will gain friendships that will become your long lasting community. • The bonds you build with each family and their children are deep, supportive and last for years. Attending CCC is one of the best decisions we've made for the wellbeing of our entire family. • I cannot say enough good things about CCC. The staff are incredibly special and gifted at their jobs. The time commitment is well worth it for the community that is built. • We felt so lucky to find this amazing school and supportive community. I was skeptical about the co-op model, but participation wasn't not only fun but a great learning experience that I'm still drawing from in my parenting. I loved that we got to process what happened with parents and teachers during the kiddos lunch so we could grow ourselves as well.
