Welcome to Building Kidz of Berkeley! We support children ages 6 months to 5 years through our "whole child" creative philosophy, integrating the arts into early education and focusing on emotional, social, cognitive, physical, communication, and academic development. At the heart of our program are our dedicated teachers, who are instrumental in providing the excellent care and education we pride ourselves on. Each of our educators has experience working with children, and all have completed or are in the process of earning Early Childhood Education (ECE) units. Their expertise and passion help create a nurturing and stimulating environment where children feel supported as they grow, learn, and express themselves. Our proprietary PA curriculum incorporates music, dance, and theater into developmentally appropriate learning, featuring engaging classes and Broadway-style productions. Launching in April/May, our Learning Through Life Experiences curriculum enhances cognitive, emotional, and social growth. Building Kidz students consistently exceed entry-level expectations for elementary school, ensuring they'Äôre well-prepared for their next steps. Our mission is to foster a close-knit community where children are challenged, empowered, and encouraged to express themselves through the arts'Äîbuilding Confidence, Commitment, and Character.
Sunshine Preschool and Childcare is for hearing children, ages 2 to 5 years. An inclusive, play-based program, Sunshine serves typically developing children alongside their peers who are Deaf or Hard of Hearing. The Sunshine curriculum encourages active learning and creativity. We support the needs of the youngest students while also emphasizing kindergarten readiness for children who are 4 to 5 years old. The classroom has capacity for 15 children and has a child to teacher ratio of 5:1. Sunshine is licensed to provide a full day program which meets Monday through Friday from 8am-5pm year-round.
It is our aim to provide an exciting, stimulating and creative environment and education for children. We believe that education is a lifelong process and that all adults and peers with whom they come in contact influence children. Parents and Early Childhood Educators are partners in making school a positive and beneficial experience for young children.
