CEID’s mission is to maximize the communication potential of children and adults who are Deaf or Hard of Hearing through early education, family support, and community audiology services.
We strive to create a diverse, inclusive, and educationally rich environment in order to empower families with the academic and social tools needed to reach their full potential.

History
CEID began in 1980 as a federally funded, demonstration program for infants and toddlers who were Deaf or Hard of Hearing. By 1981, we were recognized as a ‘Best Practices’ site (now called an ‘Education Visitation’ site) by the California Department of Education. We moved from San Francisco to Berkeley in 1984, establishing the first family centered early education program in the East Bay for infants, toddlers, and preschoolers who are deaf and hard of hearing. CEID then relocated to its present, custom-built facility in 2004 in West Berkeley and expanded to include Sunshine Preschool and Childcare (an affordable and inclusive program designed to serve both typically developing children and children with special needs) and our community Audiology Clinic.
