ECEP Advisory Committee


Mission:

The Childcare Advisory Committee (CAC) advises, promotes and actively supports UCB in achieving its mission of developing a long-term, sustainable strategy for the early childhood education program (ECEP) at Berkeley, including:

  • defining the academic philosophy of the program
  • integrating academic research as a feature of the program
  • developing a long-term, sustainable financial model for ECEP
  • defining child care program structure, capacity and number and type of children served
  • optimizing program facilities and delivery models
  • creating fundraising strategies

The CAC has two major areas of responsibility, to provide strategic and tactical advice regarding the development of the ECEP program, and to provide assistance in developing and strengthening the ECEP's relationship with the University community.
