Do the centers operate year round?
Four of our centers operate year round and four centers close during the summer. The ‘Year Round Centers’ (Haste Street Center, Child Study Center, Clark Kerr Infant Center, and Clark Kerr Preschool) are closed for a few days in August, and about 2 weeks between the fall and spring semesters, December – January. The centers are also closed for all UC staff holidays and 1-2 additional days per year for staff development or center clean-up. The ‘Academic Calendar Year Centers’ (Anna Head Preschool, Infant-Toddler Center, and Girton) close between late May and late August, and are also closed for 3-4 weeks between the fall and spring semesters, December – January. The K-2 After-School Center follows the Berkeley Unified School District calendar.
