real dreams, real results
"Enrolling our child in childcare at the Dream Center was the best decision we’ve ever made! The staff are amazing and literally dedicate their lives to these kids! Not to mention the effort they put in to ensuring the kids have a blast each and every day by going on field trips, playing in the gym, bounce house parties, and making the cutest projects to bring home! I have seen my daughter grow and learn so much in just one year here from counting to 100 to learning to write. It is an amazing place and I would recommend everyone bring their children here!!"

"We are so thankful for all who have loved and supported our daughter has received over our time the past two years as a part of the Energizers Dance Team. The commitment that her coaches and teammates offer her is amazing. I have always been so impressed to see the way teammates across all levels know and care for each other. The community that the coaches have worked so hard to build is one of our favorite things to be apart of as an Energizer Family Thank you for all you do! We highly recommend this dance program for not only their ability to support a dancer's growth, but also for their ability to support individual growth and leadership in young women."

"I am so comforted as a parent to have my kids at the Dream Center after spending many years growing up in the Energizers dance program myself. Within a few weeks of attending, our 4-year old son was bringing home more projects than I think the entirety of his previous time in other day cares. He is engaged in learning more than ever and loves doing tumbling as an added bonus! Our daughter does the before and after school program in addition to being on the Mini team this year! There are too many benefits to mention with her competing on the Energizer Dance Team. Not only is she making so much progress in dance, but she started learning and demonstrating improved positive behavior at school and at home, which is invaluable to me. Not to mention how much our kids LOVE the staff. With two full-time working parents, the Dream Center is an extension of our home for our kids. It is truly a family environment with a strong focus on academics as well as social and emotional well-being (and DANCE!). Our kids get so much more individualized attention than anywhere else we have been. I cannot express enough gratitude to have the Dream Center caring for our kids and family as a whole."

“The Dream Center is a marvel. It engaged our son’s body, mind, and spirit, with teachers who encourage creativity, foster respect, and responsibility, and promote diversity. We are so grateful to be a part of The Dream Center, both for the classroom environment and for its wide and supportive community of families and educators. We particularly appreciate the Dream Center’s attentiveness to make each child feel loved each day. It’s a place where dreams really do come true, for kids and families.”

"I had my daughter's bounce house birthday party at Dream Center and it turned out wonderfully! Even though we had a minor scheduling snafu, Sheila went out of her way to ensure everything went off without a hitch. She and her team took care of everything and promptly shooed me away if I tried to help. It was awesome to be able to just sit back and enjoy the day. The kids had a great time and got lots of awesome feedback from the guests too. Would highly recommend!"

"My daughter has been attending the Dream Center in many different capacities over the last five years. She attended pre-k at the Dream Center School and the education and teachers were amazing. She had been apart of the studio and competition dance teams with the Energizers and she has thrived. The program is top notch and the coaches and staff work really hard to not only win championships but grow the dancers to becoming strong, independent leaders. You will not find a more passionate studio. We love our Dream Center and Energizer family."

“I have had my boys in several different daycare’s over the years and found the quality of care at the Dream Center to be a cut above the rest. My son looks forward to school so much that we moved him from part time to full-time care. His development and social skills and have grown exponentially during the time he has been enrolled, and he loves working on the various lessons when he comes home. The staff is incredibly attentive to the students and parents. It is such a treasure to have a place like this in Hartford and such a joy to send your children to a school they love with teachers they adore.”

"We held my daughter's 10th birthday at the Dream Center. The process was very easy. The day of experience was a joy for the guests and for us as the hosts. We selected the all inclusive package and the two employees working the party were fantastic. They were great at keeping the kids engaged in the games and taking care of all the details throughout the event - packing up the packages after the gift opening, cutting and distributing the cake, and anything else that was needed. It was one of the easiest kid parties I've ever hosted. Everyone had a wonderful time."

“My son has attended the Dream Center preschool and 4k program and I couldn’t be happier with the facility and the teachers. My husband and I toured many preschool facilities and the Dream Center was by far the cleanest and nicest! Sheila treats the kids as her own. The teaching is top notch and the numerous fieldtrips were an added plus. I would highly recommend this facility/program! The Dream Center is by far the best preschool in Hartford! You never disappoint. Your dedication to the kids is unbelievable.”

"We had such a great experience hosting our child’s birthday party here! We rented the space for three hours and had about 50 guests total—around 30 of them were kids ages 2-10 —and everyone had an absolute blast. The bounce houses were a huge hit, and the space was clean, safe, and perfectly set up when we arrived. Sheila and her team were fantastic to work with—very attentive, friendly, and helpful throughout the entire process. The tables were already set up with tablecloths available, which made setup super easy. We couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out and would definitely recommend this place for a fun, stress-free party! Lots of friends commented on how nice of a space was set up and how much FUN the kids had. We are so appreciative of having someone here local in Hartford that offers such a fun opportunity space for a party. Bring more waters than you think you’ll need the kids will be WAY thirstier than expected from all the bouncing time! 😂"
