The Berkeley School - Early Childhood Center

Welcome to The Berkeley School - Early Childhood Center!

At The Berkeley School (TBS), we believe that every child is a unique explorer, ready to embark on a wonderful journey of learning! Founded in 1963, our independent school has been nurturing young minds from 2 years old all the way through 8th grade.

Originally starting as a Montessori school, we have grown and evolved, now embracing a variety of teaching methods, including Reggio Emilia and Project Zero. This means that your child will experience a rich and diverse learning environment that encourages curiosity and creativity.

Our Core Values

At TBS, we focus on:

• Personalized Learning: Every child learns differently, and we tailor our approach to meet their individual needs.
• Civic Engagement: We teach our students the importance of being active and caring members of their community.
• Community Building: We foster a warm and welcoming atmosphere where everyone feels like they belong.

Programs We Offer

We provide a variety of programs designed to support your child's growth:

• Early Childhood: A nurturing space for our youngest learners to explore and discover.
• Elementary: Engaging core academics that spark a love for learning.
• Middle School: Preparing students for the next steps in their educational journey.

A Focus on Holistic Development

At TBS, we understand that education goes beyond just academics. We emphasize:

• Arts: Encouraging creativity through music, art, and drama.
• Social-Emotional Development: Helping children understand their feelings and build strong relationships.

Our Commitment to Inclusion

We are proud to be a school that welcomes students from all backgrounds and identities. At TBS, every child is valued, and we celebrate the diversity that makes our community special.
