Nurturing Minds, Inspiring Hearts
Celebrating 35 Years
Santa Monica Childcare, Daycare, and Preschool
In the mid-20th century, educational philosophies like those of Dr. Spoke, Maria Montessori, and Reggio Emilia influenced child development theories. Recognizing the unique socioeconomic makeup of Los Angeles, Dreamland Day Care Center combines elements from these approaches to create a tailored philosophy. Their focus is on positive reinforcement, fostering social interaction, and active academic involvement. Activities are designed for both individual work and group collaboration, promoting exploration, kindness, and respect for others. Teachers integrate language, science, and math through engaging activities like music, arts, and sports, while also nurturing creativity in preparation for future academic challenges.
Childhood is About Discovery
We take an academic and developmental approach, where teachers introduce concepts of language, science, and mathematics through play and activities familiar to children, such as music, art, and sports. While we recognize the importance of preparing our children for future academic challenges, our primary goal is to nurture their creativity, planting the seeds for a lifelong love of learning.
