What California does not publish here
The state publishes when licensing staff visited, not what they found. We do not hold California’s inspection findings, so nothing on this page tells you whether a visit resulted in a citation. A visit count is a measure of licensing activity, and a facility visited more often is not for that reason a worse one. Read the findings in California’s own facility search.

Hidden gem. This daycare has the structure, routine, and resources of a large facility, with the intimate, personal feel of an in-home daycare. Our baby started at 7 months and adjusted so well. The teachers are loving and attentive. Highly recommend.
Kaitlin PalmerJul 14, 2025Avoid this daycare! We had to go to small claims court with them over refunding our deposit of over $1,000. We had to move out of the area due to circumstances beyond our control after we signed up for their daycare. We explained our situation, but their management was belligerent in keeping our money even though we never used their services. If they were like this when our child didn't even go to their daycare, imagine how bad it would be if you had a problem that involved your baby. Don't give this place any of your money, as other parents have taken legal action against Dreamland.
Richard HicksOct 25, 2023This review is long overdue, but better late than never. Due to the pandemic, we were hesitant about starting our daughter in school, but when the time came to enrolled we decided to do our research. We looked into and toured a number of schools around the area. Many were beautiful, with gorgeous classrooms, facilities, and supplies. However, not one of these schools asked about our daughter, her interests, or her progression up to that point. It was extremely off-putting, and felt akin to someone selling us a car; very cold and robotic. When we went to tour Dreamland we were met by Anna, who was incredibly personable and informative. She showed us around and began asking about our daughter. She inquired about her social progress, as well as how far along she was in other subjects. They literally were the only school who actually showed in interest in our daughter rather than our wallet! We were invited back to tour with our daughter, who instantly took to the school as well as the teachers and instructors. It's not the flashiest school, but never judge a book by it's cover. They are open 7:30-5:30 (which is incredible for a working family) and feed the children a breakfast snack and lunch. Tuition is beyond reasonable, especially for everything they provide. We have just concluded Pre-K and will be moving on, but what Dreamland has given to us and our family is immeasurable. We were incredibly lucky to find such a wonderful school, who cares not only about education but the children in general (when we moved to the valley last year we kept our daughter in Dreamland and commuted. That's how amazing this school is!). Everyone was like family. We've made friendships that will endure, and we are indebted to Anna, Yev, Ms. Leticia, Ms. Norma, Ms, Fari, and all of the other wonderful people that make up Dreamland. THANK YOU! We are sad to go, but they've build an incredible educational foundation that we are excited to encourage. I could go on and on about how fabulous this school is, but I encourage you to see for yourself. You will not be disappointed!
StephenJul 27, 2023I must say our experience at Dreamland has been wonderful. Our daughter is very loved by the great teachers and she learns so much (Even at 19 months). A huge and special thanks to teachers Lorena, Karina & Gina. There is no greater gift than what you have given our daughter. She loves spending time there and we feel very comfortable leaving her in such good hands.
