Dwight Way Child Development Center is an early childhood center serving infants and toddlers as part of UC Berkeley’s Early Childhood Education Program. The center occupies a LEED‑certified building and is wheelchair accessible with gender‑neutral single‑user restrooms.
Dwight Way Child Development Center provides early education and care for infants and toddlers and is part of UC Berkeley’s Early Childhood Education Program. The center's building is LEED certified.
The program follows a developmental, play‑based model and incorporates relationship‑based practices for infants and toddlers, including the Program for Infant/Toddler Care (PITC). Emphasis is placed on primary caregiver relationships, small groups, continuity of care, and individualized attention to each child.
Meals (breakfast, lunch, and an afternoon snack) are provided through Berkeley Dining with menus planned by a registered dietitian and an executive chef; menus are posted at each center. The program maintains a no‑nut policy, accommodates food allergies, and posts cycle menus at each center.
For young infants, care is provided on demand—feeding, sleep, and diapering occur as needed—with an emphasis on consistent, responsive, and respectful interactions to build a sense of security and trust.
Toddler programming focuses on promoting self‑confidence and independence through a mix of structured and unstructured activities that support cognitive, social, emotional, and physical development.
