Thank you for your interest in the El Cerrito Preschool Cooperative, where we believe that play is a child’s work. Our families and staff strive to create a safe, supportive environment for children to explore, choose play and learn.
We accept children who are 3 years old or older by December 1, 2024. Children do not need to be potty-trained. We will begin touring for the Fall 2024/25 mid-year waitlist and Fall 2025/26 school year this October.
Tours last about 45 minutes and you are welcome to bring your child along (it’s especially helpful if you have an extra adult that can shadow your child but it’s not necessary). At the end of the tour I will email a link to our online application. There is a non-refundable $45 application fee required. After I receive your online application, I will place your child's name in our wait pool. Our enrollment process is based on first come first served with priority given to our returning families and an eye towards creating a diverse, equitable and inclusive community. If you have any questions concerning the process or questions in general, please feel free to refer to our website at
www.ECPCkids.com, write to us at
admin@ecpckids.com, or leave a message at 510-526-1916.
Please fill out the form below and you will be notified when our tour dates become available (usually by mid-September).
We look forward to welcoming you in to our community!
