Desert Dreams Daycare recognizes that parents, teachers, and students are partners in the learning and growing process. Although we have a structured day using a researched-based curriculum, we also find it equally important to tailor a child's early childhood experience unique to their individual needs.
We will work alongside parents to help their child meet milestones and prepare them for a smooth transition into kindergarten. Through a variety of communication avenues, parents will know how their child is progressing, how they spend their day at Desert Dreams Daycare, and ideas on how they can engage with their child at home.

I had three kids here before covid. When I came in and explained my circumstances, I was currently in between homes, the director was amazing. She allowed my kids to come for the day I had security screening at my new job and she didn't charge me! I ended up enrolling them for a while and they were always really nice and understanding. The only issue we had was an older kid sometimes picking on my three year old but I talked to them and they addressed the problem. There was one teacher though who my oldest child said negative things about white people which is never okay. It hurt my daughers feelings

Couldn't be happier I was referred to Desert Dreams Daycare. I was struggling with change of ownership at my son's first daycare and didn't know where move him to since every other daycare was out of my budget. Then a former co worker told me about Desert Dreams which happened to be literally 3 minutes down the street from us. When we went to tour the daycare the owner Mrs.Jamie was so nice answered all our questions told us about her plans for the daycare since they recently opened. Even told us she was approved for a certain amount of kids but planned on taking less to begin with to get to know

Ok I'll be honest, I've been out of the game for a while now. I'm a Grandpa and let me tell you, things have really changed since we had our kids in daycare. I was really impressed in the professionalism of the staff there, and the Director is a long time previous teacher and administrator so she has what it takes to keep the kids under control and to run a successful daycare.
My grandson really enjoys going there, he's almost 4, so you know what that can be like, but no problem getting him in the car when he finds out he's heading to Desert Dreams. They have a multitude of activities for my grandson

I am beyond happy to have found Desert Dreams Daycare. From the very first phone call I had with the owner Jamie, I knew this would be the right fit for my daughter and I. As a first time parent, Jamie has made me feel welcomed and confident in my choice of a daycare. Everyone there is so loving and attentive to all the children, and I am happy they are just as excited to watch my little one grow as I am. This has become more than a Daycare it is truly home away from home and i wouldn’t want my child anywhere else.

Desert Dreams Daycare is AMAZING. I'm not sure who the negative reviewer is, but clearly he/she is confused.
Considering the bad grammar used, I wouldn't take the review very seriously.
Having operated a daycare facility myself, and the mother of three kids, I am well equipped to provide a review of Desert Dreams. The facility is clean, and there are more than enough suitable activities for all age groups. The owner oozes love and attentiveness towards every single child and their family. The staff is the same way. Desert Dreams is well balanced in their discipline of inappropriate behavior,

I have been coming to this Daycare since it has opened and I have NEVER encountered any problems or issues. This daycare provides excellent staff and training, always is attentive to the children's needs, and provides very good meals daily. The owner, Jamie, is not only qualified to own a daycare, but she goes above and beyond the responsibilities required to make sure that every child and their parents feel safe in the facilities care.

This daycare has improved so much since I first walked in. I truly want to give credit to Ms ahleia for taking the 3 and up room and making it an actual classroom. It looks great in there with the new setup and lesson plans that she does everyday. Those kids look so happy, they have learning, playing, outside, lunch, and nap... their day is full of adventure. Since I dont have a child that goes here, I cant speak for one but when I walk in, all I see are smiles. It's true, always do a fact check before taking your child to a daycare... but I honestly believe this daycare has every heart in mind

This daycare center is awesome! I felt safe leaving my son here in their care. The staff is friendly and competent! My son enjoyed going here and loved going! The owner Jaime gave me an affordable price and was easy to talk to, as well as making it a great experience for my son! They are great with all ages and give the best care. It's obvious they really care about the children!
