Child Education Center (CEC) is a Berkeley-based non-profit organization that provides early childhood education for children aged 6 weeks to 6 years. Grounded in a Reggio-inspired, constructivist approach, the center emphasizes child-initiated play and hands-on, sensory-rich learning guided by teachers, with parents viewed as the primary educators in a collaborative community. Serving typically 70 to 90 children, CEC operates with a dedicated teaching team to support multidisciplinary inquiry and development in a small-school setting within the primary and secondary education landscape. The organization positions itself as a community-focused educational program within the broader early childhood sector, offering a structured environment that integrates open-ended inquiry and reflective practice. Located in Berkeley, California, CEC identifies as a 501(c)(3) non-profit and provides services through a program designed for young children in the early years of schooling.
