Dear Faculty and Staff members,
The sight of staff and faculty steadily returning to campus means we are one step closer to the vibrant university life we enjoyed prior to 2020.
We realize, however, that there are still unknowns ahead as your daily schedule begins to change. Several Student Affairs programs may be of help to you and your families during this time of transition.
Early Childhood Education Program (ECEP):
Berkeley’s ECEP is enrolling children ages 2 to 4.5 for the 2021-2022 school year, which begins on August 16, 2021. Its five daycare locations in Berkeley and Albany provide early childhood services in a nurturing and stimulating environment, open to the Littlest Cal Bears, children of faculty, staff, students, and community members. Learn how to enroll your child today
Rec Sports Year-Round Youth Programs:
Once summer ends, Cal Youth Programs continue to provide innovative activities and discovery experiences year-round. These affordable and flexible programs include Martial Arts, Gymnastics, Skateboarding, and Cal Adventures programming at the UC Aquatic Center. Available to all ages, these sessions are led by industry experts and talented coaches who draw families back year-after-year.
Explore activities for multiple skill levels with weekday, weekend, evening, and private lesson options. Youth.berkeley.edu

Use your Cal 1 Card for Meals, Snacks, or Coffee with Flex Dollars
Faculty and Staff Flex Dollars make getting food on campus easy. Cal Dining Meal Plans feature Flex Dollars available for purchase by all current UC Berkeley faculty and staff with a valid Cal 1 Card. Load your card with 55 flex dollars for $50 or 110 flex dollars for $100. Pay with your Cal 1 Card to use flex dollars in the dining commons, campus restaurants, convenience stores, concession stands, and also to pay for guest meals at a discount from the cash price in the dining commons. Bring your family, or a friend or colleague, to lunch!
We hope these resources support you and your return to campus.
Sincerely,
Brigitte T. Lossing, Director, Recreational Sports
Darrell Whitacre, Director, Early Childhood Education Program
