At Little Dreamers we promise that you will never have to compromise when it comes to choosing a center with that 'home away from home' feel or a center with state-of-the-art security measures and top of the line health and safety standards. Not only do we take the time to get to know each child and family in our care and love them like our own, but we also pride ourselves in having the organizational skills to maintain the highest standards regarding safety and health! We hope you take the time to check out just what that means below!
Our door is always locked! Once you are enrolled in our center, you will register for a code that grants only you access to the building within business hours! Each of our parents agree to a rigorous set of policies in place to maintain the integrity of this system. Once your code is used to access the building, you may feel free to pick up/drop off or visit directly in your child's classroom!
If a person is not enrolled in our center, they must ring the doorbell and wait for a member of staff to allow them into the building. At which point, they will need to state the reason for requesting entry and present government ID.
Upon enrollment, you will be invited to join our family engagement app, Brightwheel. This app will generate and allow you to customize a 4 digit code which you will need to use at our check in kiosk to check your child in and out of the center each day.
Through our Brightwheel app, our team members will share many photos of your child throughout the day as well as a detailed summary containing information on habits such as eating, sleeping, restroom, and mood! Parents and team members are welcomed and encouraged to utilize the messaging feature on this app to ask any questions or provide updates as needed as well!
P.S. We also do all of our billing on this app!
Our center is equipped with cameras via WatchMeGrow throughout the entire building, inside and out. Parents are granted access to their child's classroom and may log on to check in on their child 6 times a day, for 5 minutes each time! Privacy is our priority so no screenshots, recording, or sharing of the camera footage will be tolerated at any time. Violating this agreement is a direct violation of privacy for the other children and will result in termination of services. Our system stores the footage 24/7 so that our admin team can replay any events and save clips as needed!
Where are our cameras?

- Lobby

Texas has some of the highest child to caregiver ratios in the entire US. Luckily our Owner's experience and extensive research prevents our team members and students from having to endure these ratios. Our class sized and child to caregiver ratios are much smaller than the state's allotment! This is proven to keep incidents to a minimum, create happier and healthier teachers, and maintain a low stress environment for everyone!
Our Ratios:
Infants = 2:4, 3:10 MAX = 10
Toddlers = 1:6 MAX = 6
Two's = 1:9, 2:14 MAX = 14
Pre K = 1:7 MAX = 7
