If only I can give ZERO star! They cancelled the winter camp last minute due to location issue, and now we are left with no care for winter recess. Because of Dream enrichment winter camp, we cancelled the other arrangement that we got into before decided to enroll in Dream winter camp. This is not the first time Dream cancelled a camp due to location issue! Refund alone is UNACCEPTABLE, and we expect a better compensation than that! We WILL NOT recommend Dream Enrichment Camp! read more

Program cancellation due to location issue is not acceptable. You would expect business to plan well. We have canceled other arraignments and couldn't re-sign up. Just refund won't be enough. I expect a better compensation. read more

My child attends the Early Engineer class during their school's after school time and she really likes it. This is her 3rd year taking the class and it is the only class she actually wants to participate in after school even though there are many other fun and educational offerings at her school (from Dream Enrichment Classes as well as other vendors/providers). This year has been her favorite b/c she really likes her teacher Ms. Tina. She says there's much more freedom to interact with other students and the noise level/interactivity isn't as much a concern with this teacher as previous ones so then the kids are more free to really get into their various weekly projects. Even though my daughter isn't especially into science/engineering/other STEM subject matters, she loves EE. She says it's just so fun and interesting. I'm glad for this program at her school and hope it continues. She enjoys it so much and the pictures they take show how much all the kids learn through all the weekly challenging projects. It is not cheap, per se, but for less than $400 for a whole school year's worth of classes, averaging out to less than $20 per class, my husband and I feel it's a good investment of time and money for our little one. We're glad she likes EE and hope she'll continue to grow in knowledge and understanding of STEM through this and other similar enrichment classes, even if she doesn't enter into a STEM career path, we still want her to be enriched through these experiences. read more

So glad this enrichment type of program is available. My kids have tried them all and loved them. My sons favorite is the coding and animation. Summer camps available plus school year available at certain sites. read more

My son LOVES Dream Enrichment Classes! He's taken every one. He has done after-school classes and the summer camps. He comes home so excited to tell us about what he did at camp and to show us his creations and stop-motion movies. I recommend the camps and classes all the time to my friends with kids. read more

Very terrible place. I was hired by an Indian guy who selected me because of my loss of income and need to support my family instead of my experience teaching kids. I only worked for three weeks and got terminated (by the women who observed two of my classes) after failing the third observation, which is obviously done when a new instructor teaches a class. I really wish I dipped after the first day of training, where we all had to read several pages of rules, or anytime before I received all the supplies for my classes. That way, I don't have to teach nor keep the supplies. Since I was assigned to teach Honeycode, even though I wanted to teach chess, I was responsible for charging over 12 laptops! Now that I think of it, I should've either threatened to quit if I cannot teach chess or said to those ugly women that the Indian guy forced me to do Honeycode, which is why I wasn't passionate when teaching. I really wish there was more training for noobs like me and that they can have me work in a different position if the instructor position is not right for me. Instead, I got treated like shit, had unrealistic expectations, and received no help whatsoever. Don't get me wrong, this business has good intentions and is supposed to help children after school. However, they cannot get away with false job advertising. If instructors need teaching experience, THEN MENTION THAT! If they don't, THEN OFFER AN EASIER POSITION PLEASE! read more

My kid had so much fun. He made good friends, the camp leaders were super nice and he came home with many great pieces of art. It was totally worth it. They even served him lunch, which was great. read more

My grandson went to the Minecraft coding camp and LOVED IT! The instructors were GREAT! He learned so much! looking forward to another coding camp! read more

They review themselves..... Wow it is a rip off. They could care less about your security or privacy. recently switching to a third party Care.com for payment processing. They will give them your name, date of birth etc... all the info if you allow that it is a huge security risk. I hope your identity does not get stolen because of these careless acts by Dream Enrichment. They will record your children live on zoom without getting consent... lawsuit? Don't trust them with your child! read more

My kids enjoyed their camps and each day came home and said they were fun but they both said it was a bit unorganized. I think my kids were on the older side (9 and almost 11). read more

My son loved the Minecraft Coding Camp. He looked forward to it every day and never wanted to leave. The instructors were knowledgeable and enthusiastic. He was quite happy that he got to keep his Minecraft worlds on a USB memory stick so he could bring them home. read more

My daughter was do excited to be able to continue the art classes she loves even though school was closed due to the Covid Pandemic. She really enjoyed the online class and loved the different art supplies. The smaller class for the online structure was i feel perfect to allow room for learning and peer fun. I would recommend this art class to any young scholar read more

My 9 year old just completed his 2nd week of camp. The first week was a computer coding camp, and this week was a stop motion/animation camp. I'm not exaggerating when I say that he came home everyday energized from camp activities and their projects. He hugged me and thanked me for signing him up. What's great about that is he whined in the car on each Monday about going to camp from 9am-2pm, and having to go 2 weeks in a row. But after his first day each week, he couldn't wait to go back! The instructors each week were wonderful and I could tell the kids related to them. I know from reading about Dream Enrichment that it's a small business, so I couldn't be happier to give them such a well-deserved, great review. If your child(ren) is/are into computers, I highly recommend sending him/her to a Dream Enrichment camp. read more

This place used to be great, but no longer. A rude teacher and on site director lend a whole new feeling to this camp. Heavy punishment for kid like behavior including punishing the whole group by restricting access to toys for one child's misbehavior. This was a class for six year olds! This is the only teacher my child has ever complained about. I also overheard lots of criticism to parents about their kids behavior. Probably due to her lack of classroom management skills. Finally, I had to take turns with my husband for the final show because of a sleeping child. She had the audacity to tell me my baby should just miss his nap! Rude! Zoo camp and Olympus Sports camps were WAY better!! read more

My 6 year old just completed a week of summer camp with our local CSD and she had such a blast. All of the instructors were super sweet and she would come home telling us about all of the amazing things that she learned in class (a very basic intro to coding). She made some new friends and had a great time learning (and staying entertained which is sometimes hard in the summer!). We're so glad we unknowingly picked a class that was done by Dream Enrichment. We just signed up for another class later on in the summer :) read more

My son attended his Early Engineers class last school year and absolutely LOVED IT!!! The classes are engaging, hands-on, individual and group oriented. They use various different types of building materials from Legos to K'nex to everything in between all the while learning about physics. This class awakens the scientific minds of children. I really liked that a paper would be sent home talking about what was learned, including some vocabulary words and some definitions. Fantastic program and this year both my kids will be enrolled! :) read more

My daughter is in 2nd grade and has been attending this class at her school for about two months now. She is really enjoying it and it has opened her eyes to new toys (mainly CitiBlocs) and new career possibilities - YAY! My only complaint is the age grouping. My daughter is grouped with K-2nd kids and, in my opinion, kindergarten kids should have their own group or no class at all. They don't have all of the skills for this class so they take the majority of the instructors time, which is very unfortunate. I think I will feel better about spending money on this class when my daughter has moved up to the next age group. read more

We absolutely loved Early Engineers this last school year! My son took it after school at Theodore Judah and he really looked forward to his class each week. Not only was it fun, but educational as well. After discussing what they were going to be building in class, he also walked away with a worksheet each week that showed him how to recreate the project at home and talked about what they built. Miss Christy, our instructor, was so great! So patient with the kids. We will be returning next year! read more

This is our 3rd summer using Dream Enrichment Camps, and I am always so blown away!! My kids have done the Engineering, Firefly Art and Honeycoding camps in the past. This summer, my son will also try out the Stop Motion Animation camp. This is the first website I look at when planning our summer activities. They are professional, the teachers are exceptional, their customer service is outstanding.... but more than that, the content they cover at each camp is truly amazing! They connect with each child, and they understand the power of making learning FUN. I recommend these camps to other parents all the time. They are worth every penny!! read more

I'm glad I registered my granddaughter for the summer coding camp. She is a sensitive child who has endured a lot of bullying the past couple of years. This class has shown her that she can learn new things and work with other kids. It was a safe place with great instructors! read more

I absolutely loved, valued, and truely enjoyed working here, that is until I participated in a Summer Camp. I experienced so much drama between staff members it was horrible. I attempted to quit/ put in a two week notice and was denied that right because the guy said I was being "emotional" staff was also very limited to the point where one six hour summer camp teacher had 16 students, and trust me it was hard and also against summer camp polices/ laws stated by the state to have that many students under the care of one UNcertified teacher. Overall just drama, the programs are great, but from an employee view it's pure drama, coworkers talking about one another, office staff making lies to get others fired etc. stay clear of this company if you seek employment! read more

My 10-year-old daughter took the Stop Motion Animation camp and absolutely loved it. Stop motion takes a lot of time and patience, which aren't her strong suits, but the camp leaders and the projects got her so inspired that she invested a lot into her work and was thrilled with the results. She was entertained and empowered. She now believes she's capable of more than she used to think. And she made some really good friends. read more

So impressed by how they transitioned to distance learning during the COVID-19 pandemic. My daughter looks forward to her firefly art classes each morning she has class and her skills continue to blossom. A real source of joy during these strange times. Grateful to this group for their flexibility in teaching and thoughtful course design. read more

Our 6 year old absolutely loved Spy Camp! He was excited to go every morning and the 'novelty' of it didn't wear off by the last day We are so pleased with Ms Aynsley! She was very upbeat and fun. read more

My son has autism; he is very high functioning and has a hard time socializing. He has attended Early Engineers for two years. It is a great program because it helps him to socialize in a natural setting doing something he loves. It takes him a long time to feel comfortable with his peers and this program gives him the opportunity. I would highly recommend this program for any child that loves building. Thank you Early Engineers! read more

This program is great! I have a first grader that has been going to Early Engineers since kindergarten and he loves it. He builds something new every time. He has learned a lot of science terminology and concepts. The best thing is that it is hands on learning and fun for kids. The instructor is very professional and really cares about kids. read more

Dream Enrichment Classes is an amazing after school program. It allows for students to learn new skills and become engaged with many different areas. They offer many different programs that give your child an opportunity to grown and experience something they would not normally have. read more

My son, a 3rd grader, has been attending early engineers all year and loves it!! In each session, early engineers introduces some engineering concepts and then lets the kids have fun building while using the ideas they introduced. I love that they get a flyer sent home every session as well so that I can reinforce at home what they learned!! read more

In Sacramento this company is the former KidArt company with the same owners and managers. It is unclear why they changed their name but since KidzArt is a franchise they may be going out on their own. They run art classes at school sites and summer camps. They also have an early engineering program. read more

Can't say enough good things about this camp. My child isn't always super enthusiastic about trying new things, and he couldn't wait to go after the first day. He loved it! The instructors were well-prepared and enthusiastic. We will do this again. It was expensive, but worth it! read more

My son attends the after school Lego Engineers class and the just finished the week long summer camp called Firefly Art. He had an awesome time and the art class was so cool! He got to make sand art, a diorama, clay sculpture - so many cool things. It's a bit pricey, but it's worth it! read more

My kids went to art camp and loved it. There was a wide variety of art activity. Kids were very proud of all their art pieces. We look forward to engineering camp. read more

Our daughter learned a lot. She was disappointed that she was placed with the age group beneath her due to lack of table space, but other than that she had a good time. read more

Our two boys (7 and 5) had a blast at the Early Engineers Spy School. We couldn't be happier with the quality of the program from the teachers, to the location (Didion, close to home), to the daily emails with updates and photos from the day. Each day the boys came home excited telling us about new things they learned. They both were sad knowing it was there last day. Our family looks forward to signing up again. Thank you to everyone who makes this program possible! read more

The Dream Enrichment Camps are the best camps available. My son has attended Honey-code and Firefly Art every summer and is very excited to try the Stop Motion this year. I'm always blown away by the awesome new supplies they have every year! My son has learned so much! They also seem to hire the best instructors that really know how to give individualized attention to each child. Highly recommend! read more

My son just completed the Honey Code Camp. On my goodness! I've never seen him so excited. As soon as he got home every day, he wanted to tell us all about his day and he wanted to do extra work to program his game. He now wants to be a computer programmer when he grows up. The staff was amazing and so good with my son. We will definitely check out after school programs and summer camp next year. read more

My son did three camps this summer with Dream Enrichment. He really enjoyed all of them. Honey Coding exposed him to the Scratch software. In Art Camp he learned many new techniques like pastels on sand paper. And Early Engineers he liked so much he still does it as an after school program. read more

My son attends Oak Meadow Elementary School in El Dorado Hills. This is his third Early Engineers class session. These classes take place on Tuesdays right after school, on his campus. They are an hour long. He really enjoys attending these classes, and looks forward to going. At our school there are two teachers, usually in a different classroom. Kindergarten through 2nd and sometimes 3rd grade, and 3rd grade through 5th grade, which helps the teachers to teach to the child's abilities and understanding. Every week they have a flyer sent home with your child that explains the "Key Words", "Food For Thought" , and "Facts" that was covered in class pertaining to that particular project. Early Engineers instructors use different materials each week to complete the lesson. Materials used can be: Legos, Citiblocs, Play-Doh, K'Nex, etc. They use engineering concepts, and describe basic engineering principles in easy to understand language and demos. Concepts like conductivity, lift, thrust, amplitude, and many others are covered. The instructor is always positive and encourages creativity. She has good control over the class, and really motivates the children to try new things, and use their heads. She is always taking pictures of the kids finished projects and gives us a gallery to go to online to see what they have made. This class is perfect for boys or girls. We have an even mix in our class. Worth the money to have an educational, and fun after school activity. read more

My son attended a session in Davis and neither he nor I was happy with it. He was in the younger group (K-3) and I felt the size was too large. Lessons were loud and chaotic. The teacher was often absent and so different substitutes came regularly. There was no real consistency from one week to another. I was disappointed. We will not be enrolling again. read more

Both of my son's attend Early Engineers at Silva Valley Elementary School. We have been so impressed with the level of professionalism of the teacher and the quality of activities. These students get a new science principle and building activity every week. My biggest guage of success is the response that I get from my boys. They love it! They are counting down the days until the next class. Doesn't get any better than that. We feel fortunate to have Early Engineers at our school. read more
