Recent parent reviews
Dare to dream daycare has been such a great home away from home for my daughter. I was nervous at first when my daughter first started here 3 years ago but Ms.V and Ms.Mika have made my daughter and I feel so comfortable and confident. I admire the love and patience they have towards every child. She’s learned a lot has a growing toddler and I will forever be grateful for them.
Marisol ArceNov 6, 2025Dare to Dream has been such a blessing for my family. They took great care of my son Adam for the past two years and I always felt comfortable leaving him there. Vanessa, the owner, is amazing and really cares about the kids. The staff are so kind and patient—Mika especially has been wonderful with Adam. I’m very thankful for everything they’ve done and I would definitely recommend them to any parent.
Mohammed Al shaibahOct 3, 2025My grandson has been attending Dare to Dream since he was a year old and he his now nearing 3 years old. The growth that he has shown since attending has been simply astounding! He talks fluently, was taught his colors, sings his ABC's on a regular basis, and was potty trained! My grandson absolutely loves Tameka his teacher and Vanessa the owner. I would recommend this daycare to everyone who wants their child to thrive!
Lenora JohnsonOct 2, 2025If you are searching for a good daycare, to look out and truly take care of your child, this is the one. My son is 2 years old, he’s been here since he was 1 and he absolutely adores everyone there, you can just tell by his face he is enjoying himself. At first I was very apprehensive to send my son to daycare, we as parents all have our concerns of leaving our child with anyone but ourselves/family. At dare to dream child care center you don’t need to have those worries or concerns, they truly love and care about every single child that walks through their doors. They use the app brightwheel and it’s honestly like your child is right there with you. You are updated almost every hour of the day, you see when/what they eat and drink, when they get their diaper changed/use the bathroom and you get pictures/videos! My son talks so much, I love that he is around kids his age and socializing. They don’t just put the kids in front of a tv and call it a day they do activities and have lots of playtime. My son is learning his abc’s, 123’s, colors and more! I could honestly go on and on about them, this is a lovely daycare and I’m so glad I found them!
Halle KeyanaSep 29, 2025My daughter has been going to this daycare for 3 years, and the experience has been nothing but short of amazing. She’s learned so much during her time here and transitioned beautifully through every stage. She is now fully potty trained, confident with her letters, and more than ready to start school. What I love most about is the staff. They are caring, staff and truly dedicated to the children. I had the opportunity to experience them on another level while working here myself, and I can honestly say this is the best place ever! The love , guidance and structure they provide makes all the difference I couldn’t have chosen a better daycare for my daughter early years. 10/10 would definitely recommend :)
cristina EstradaSep 29, 2025This is my daughter's second year at Dare to Dream, and we couldn’t be happier! The staff is absolutely amazing , caring, attentive, and always creating a positive environment. My daughter loves going every day and looks forward to all the fun activities like painting, coloring, and more. She especially enjoys spending time outdoors and visiting the park. Highly recommend!
