The Child Development Center provides a nurturing and educational environment for infants, toddlers, preschoolers, and kindergarten age children at subsidized or market rates depending upon a family's gross monthly income and size.

Children participate in a comprehensive education program, outlined by the State Department of Education/Child Development Division, that develops skills in receptive and expressive language, pre-reading and pre-writing skills, math, science, art, health, hygiene, and large muscle coordination. The Center also emphasizes positive self-images, cultural pride, socialization, sharing, as well as acceptable ways to express emotions and respect for others.

Emeryville Child Development Center is owned and operated by the City of Emeryville. The Center operates year-round and provides child care services for 90 children whose parents are working, in training, or in school. The program serves infants and toddlers, and preschool-aged children. Hours of operation are 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m, Monday through Friday.

The facility consists of 6 child care classrooms and a Multi-Purpose Room with kitchen facilities. Adjunct to the multi-purpose room is a courtyard that provides both circulation and serves as an outdoor area. The facility may be for rented for large gatherings and special events.
