Dream-I is an amazing school. From outstanding staff and teachers to their educational yet fun program, we are glad and feel lucky we have found this place. We've searched and visited many different prospective preschools closer to our home but chose to drive the extra distance just to have our child attend this school. As a parent, we are cautious and full of questions when it comes to our children. The director, along with staff here, are sincerely nice and patient and makes sure all of your questions are answered so you can rest assured. Most importantly, our child learned so much from here and continues to do so. Dream-I is very attentive to each and every student and is informative of their daily progress which we appreciate very much. If you are in search of finding a preschool, at the very least consider this school. You won't regret it. Our child genuinely loves and enjoys going to Dream-I everyday.

Searching around for schools when your child reaches the age of a pre schooler can be one of the most stressful things you can do. I googled, went on Facebook groups, Reddit, you name it. I visited dozens of schools and when I found dream-I, I knew right away this was the school for my daughter. Other schools gave me quick tours then asked if I wanted to be on a waiting list. I didn't get to ask much questions or understand the curriculum and environment of the school.Dream I did an in depth one-on-one tour for me and my kid which ended up being around an hour or so. They explained every little thing they do and let me ask ALL the questions I had. And was patient about it lol Michelle and Chad have made sure my child was going to be in a safe and nurturing but also academically growing space.My child has grown so much in the past few months and comes home with A wealth of knowledge! One day she came home reciting the solar system, then the days of the week and more! I am confident that dream I is not only keeping my child safe but making sure she as academically growing in the best and funnest way possible. Very happy with my kids progress.

Our daughter started attending Dream-I BP around 2.5 yo and she loved it from day 1. She absolutely adores all her teachers (including the administrators) and looks forward to going to school everyday! It's clear that everyone is very attentive and our daughter is well cared for--during pick-ups the director or an admin brings our daughter out and provides a quick verbal update (i.e., how she interacted with friends, how much of her lunch she finished, how long she slept for, etc.). We are very happy with the curriculum as well. Each month has a theme (e.g., solar system, community, five senses, etc.) and we receive the monthly calendar with the daily activity schedule. Through the themes and activities, she gets exposed to many different concepts and sometimes even teaches me new things! She definitely knows more about the solar system than I do (like the names of the dwarf planets). The school plans special activities/events for the children throughout the year. They invited a petting zoo to the school where the children got to pet and feed some animals and even ride a pony. When they were learning about trains/vehicles the school had a train come to the school and the children got to experience the entire process of showing their ticket and boarding the train. It's so nice that the children get exposed to so many things and have these experiences in a safe environment. We feel very lucky to have found Dream-I during our search!

My son started at Dream I when he was about 2.5 yo. Dream I's teachers are so attentive! He was so eager to go to school ever since he started there. The lunches are very yummy and has a variety of items, especially some asian items that my son is more accustomed to. He learned to speak English with his friends awhile keeping his Chinese at home. We are very happy with what he learns at school. I'm so pleasantly surprised at the creativity of the activities. I especially love all the photos we get of our kids having a blast:)

KPREP program ReviewMy daughter spent her last few months prepping for the kindergarten and I was very happy with her advancement. I wanted her to understand that Kindergarten is an exciting place to be. Especially she got to sharpen her English language skills here and I received her progress report at the end that showed significant improvement along with copies of all her hard work (very large volume of drawings, writing exercises, etc.) that really showed what she was learning and how much she was enjoying the time here. The teachers are very caring and loving to my child and the student to teacher ratio is low enough to know that my child is getting the personal attention she deserve. The school also gave my child an opportunity to train to speak in front of a class and phonics training as well. My daughter spent only one year in a group class setting due to the pandemic and she started slow but dream I undoubtfully brought her up to speed and she is now doing very well in her kindergarten class, and that is all I could have asked her.

I think the best thing you can do for your little one is to find a place where they feel safe and nurtured, all while being educated in a way that engages their little minds to the fullest. The journey to find that place is pretty long for 1st time parents, like myself. And to add COVID to the mix, that journey was even longer. For our family, Dream I could not have been a better fit. From a theme based learning system which incorporates STEAM, to fresh hot delicious meals daily, and a beyond amazing teachers and staff, I could not recommend highly enough to consider sending your littles ones to this school. My little one started school 7 months ago, just coming out of our COVID bubble, she went from saying basic sentences to express her needs to now having full on conversations about everything. She went from just knowing abc's and 123 to now knowing about all the planets, types of weather, days of the week, and so much more. They teach children with art, science, math, imagination, music, physics and feeling, all while teaching them structure, interpersonal skills, and independence that I did not see in other preschool programs, which encourages all types of learning for all the kids so they learn together. Dream I also provides a nutritious hot lunch, filled with various spices, veggies, and fruits on a rotating schedule, not to mention breakfast and snacks. It's like getting a home cook lunch daily, which I really do appreciate. My daughter now loves broccoli, carrots, and curry! The staff and teachers are beyond amazing. Ms. Michelle, Ms. Sandra, and Mr. Chad are always quick to answer questions, and I honestly feel like they have the best interest of all the kids at Dream I at heart. And the teachers, I can't thank them enough for making my daughter love school. She's never once cried about waking up in the morning, and still get's excited about Monday because she gets to go learn and play. And I as a parent, look forward to picking her up to learn about what she did that day through her eyes. And lastly, I appreciate Dream I for up holding safety above all others, all the staff, teachers, and children still wear masks and get temperature checks daily. Although I am happy to report they are lifting that guideline, knowing that they have everyone's health in mind has been a fresh breath of air. I believe having a good start in education can make a tremendous impact on a young child that can last a lifetime. Every family has their own goals and needs when it comes to their children's education, for us Dream I has been our unicorn and we are so happy. I hope Dream I can be your unicorn too!

My 3 year old has been attending Dream I preschool for about 5 months now. Even though I heard many positive things about this school, I was still worried he will have hard time adjusting since he was transferred to Dream I from another preschool. This school proved me wrong. The teachers are so welcoming, well-mannered, and supportive that my son had no issue adjusting to this new school. My son loves going to school and enjoys learning new skills and concepts. I am noticing daily that my son is able to problem solve, regulate his feelings and handle things by himself. He started this school only speaking Korean but his English is improving daily as well. Food is great too which is a plus!

Both of my sons have been with them for the last 4 years. We have been very happy with them. Their curriculum is very creative and by the time my son goes to Kindergarten, he is very well prepared. They also provide home cooked meal. The teachers and staff are wonderful and my son always looks forward to going to scholl everyday.

I cannot begin to express how happy I am with this school, not only have they exceeded my expectations on my child's education but they have created memorable learning experiences that he is able to apply on a daily basis. I have noticed how my child is able to problem solve and handle big boy task all by self and I know that is thanks to dream I. The way they are molding my child in a positive way I just know I picked a great school!

My son has been attending Dream-I for about a year and a half now and we couldn't love the school more. The curriculum is filled with interesting themes each month and hands on activities that really allow kids to grasps new concepts while having fun! My son loves his teachers and looks forward to going to school everyday. We love Dream-I.

My niece has been going to Dream-I since the tender age of 2. We're delighted with the experiences she's had. The curriculum has allowed her to explore concepts through sensory, but has also taught her to settle down and focus on jobs. They give you a calendar so you can see what activities your child will be doing to learn about the theme of the month. The themes are soo adorably displayed. We especially enjoy the assessments we get for her, which allows us to track her development. They're a great team at Dream-I Buena Park.
