New Dream Family Center

The New Dream Child Care Center was founded in 2009 to provide a new community based program for families who want the best quality child care available, and a whole-child integrated curriculum that is grounded in the context of our community. We hope that you will find helpful information here about our programs and other interesting and entertaining kid-stuff as well. We provide loving care, fun and education for your babies, toddlers, preschoolers and school age students. We pick-up from five nearby schools and provide programs when 4J is not in session. Our classrooms are staffed with talented and skilled teachers with outstanding training and credentials. Most important, they are warm, caring and accommodating of your family's unique needs and concerns for your child's care. Our curriculum and practices are solidly focused on Healthy Food, Smart Habits and Sustainability. Teachers use our extensive on-site learning gardens and chicken technology to help link the natural world to the learning world and then to the larger future world. We believe in More Nature and Less Plastic, More Real Life and Less Early Screen-Time for kids. Our classrooms are also staffed with a lively crew of teachers-in-training who are drawn from our community's Latina women. While supporting the teachers, they converse and play with the babies and children in both Spanish and English. Our bilingual focus will give your child a real advantage in both language acquisition and cognitive development. We are able to exceed the mandated adult to child staffing ratio because of this innovative training program. Our program is guided by an energetic non-profit Board of Directors and an Executive Director with thirty years of experience in Center management.
