Every child has different learning styles, social and emotional needs, and physical energy level. We perform assessments to better understand each child's skills and interests. With this knowledge, we identify individual learning goals and tailor activities to help each child reach appropriate educational and developmental milestones.
Predictable routines help children feel safe and make it easier for them to manage transitions and follow directions. We incorporate academic activities as well as music, movement and free play & socialization time every day on a consistent schedule.

Testimonials
"The communication between staff and parents is exceptional - they will work with you to make your child's learning and enrichment experience ideal for your situation. The kids are learning, thriving and most of all, living their best existence during these incredibly difficult times.
This place is worth every penny. Corrie and her team are an amazing addition to our neighborhood and Dream City is just what the kids needed for a little dose of normal in this very abnormal year." - Nona R. , Brooklyn, NY
