New Dream Child Care Center 1295 West 18th Avenue, Eugene, OR 97402

"I can’t recommend New Dream enough. Our daughter started in the infant room at 3 months old and we’ve had three different classroom experiences as she’s grown into toddlerhood. We’ve been so impressed with all three and with New Dream admin staff overall. Communication is top notch. Teachers are calm, kind, and skilled in scaffolding children’s learning. We’ve always found our daughter happy (and clean, fed, snuggled, changed) at pickup, but she’s now starting to want to stay at school rather than come home with us, so I thought it was time to write a review. Thanks, New Dream!"

"My family has had a great experience with the baby/toddler programs at New Dream since 2021, especially given the rough circumstances in general with childcare and COVID. We have found extremely caring, kind and communicative teachers. Our child loves going to daycare, and we feel comfortable that our child is not only truly cared for but is stimulated with outdoor activities and collaborative playtime."

"I absolutely adore New Dream. I was so appreciative I was able to get a spot there after all the centers I had toured before my daughter was born. My child was in the infant and wobbler room and I couldn't be more pleased with the care, warmth & communication of the teachers. The front desk staff are friendly and helpful. The facility itself is great, lots of eco-friendly inspiration and a progressive environment. We withdrew for a period of time but I feel so fortunate to have had my daughter there for almost a year and cant wait to re-enroll her in the near future."

"We moved to Eugene in January 2018, and were able to immediately enroll at New Dream. My daughter enjoyed the school, both the teachers and admin staff were wonderful and caring. She started in toddlers and then moved to Pre-K, and both classrooms were clean, safe, and educational. I wish there had been more bilingual education, but unfortunately we were enrolled during a period of staff transition and the bilingual program wasn't as structured as it could be (I have faith it will bounce back). Our family also greatly enjoyed the community events (fundraising dinners at local restaurants, plant sale, and especially the annual fiesta). It's a good preschool, and our child thrived there."

"I am so sad that my second child never got to experience the wonderful teachers at New Dream and that my first child will be cutting short her time by a year. She started at "baby school" when she was 11 months and she has loved it every step of the way. The staff is really communicative and caring. I loved that she played outside, rain or shine, had gardening class and Spanish class and ended up making friends with her peers. I couldn't recommend this place enough. We loved the family that we were a part of for 4 years and are sad that we are moving out of town."
