There are several options for childcare for student families:

• UC Berkeley's Early Childhood Education Program serves children between the ages of 3 months and 7 years. They provide sliding scale rates, depending on financial need.
• The Albany Children's Center is a year-round multi-cultural early childhood program of Albany Unified School District. It is located right in the Village and provides before and after school care for students in grades K-3. It also provides a full day program for preschool children ages 2.9 to 5 years.
• Wheezles and Sneezles is a state funded program, located in University Village Family Housing.  It provides services for children who are mildly ill (recovering from colds/flu), but are excluded from their regular program.

Other information that might prove useful in the search for quality child care:

• Berkeley's Guide to Work and Family provides information about how to select a child care provider.
• BANANAS is a non-profit child care referral and support agency serving the diverse families in Northern Alameda County, California.  It provides free parenting information, workshops and referrals to family child care, child care centers, preschools, babysitters, in-home caregivers, nannies and playgroups.
