We had just relocated to a new state, and like any big move, the transition was hard -- especially for our little one (2 yo). Enrolling him in a new daycare just a week after moving felt daunting, but Mrs. Ranjana put all our worries to rest almost immediately. We had braced ourselves for a rough adjustment period (daycare transitions at this age rarely go smoothly!), but it was genuinely the easiest one we've had. She clearly takes the time to understand each child and creates a warm, comfortable space for them to settle in. One unexpected bonus? Our son -- a notoriously picky eater -- fell in love with Mrs. Ranjana's homemade South Indian food and actually started branching out with new foods at home too. That alone was a small miracle! She makes sure the children are well-fed, well-rested, and genuinely happy each day. On top of the nurturing environment, she has a thoughtful supplementary curriculum. We were constantly surprised when our son came home showing off new skills -- counting, singing songs, writing letters. The learning felt natural and joyful, never forced. We're so grateful we found Dino Dream Daycare, and especially Mrs. Ranjana's class. If you're looking for a caregiver who treats your child like family, look no further. Highly, highly recommended! read more

Dino Dreamcare was our son's first daycare and he loved it. He joined when was ~18 months old and quickly adjusted. Ms. Ranjana and her daughter are very affectionate and our son was very attached to them. They provide delicious nutritious meals that our son enjoyed a lot. They also engage the kids with different activities like outdoor play, coloring, writing etc. and also have events like halloween, easter egg hunt etc.. We highly recommend this daycare. read more

Our family was fortunate to find Ms Ranjana, her daughter Shruthi, and their team at Dinodreamcare. My twin girls attended the daycare from age two until they were ready for preschool. Thanks to the excellent care and preparation they received at Dinodreamcare, they had a smooth transition to preschool and adjusted quickly. Ms. Ranjana is an excellent cook who ensures the children receive nutritious meals. She also reads stories to the children and provides them with the best care. My girls sometimes refused to go to school, but Ms. Ranjana was always there to help them out of the car and comfort them when they cried. Shruthi was fantastic with my girls. She quickly handled my one daughter's tantrums about specific things, schedules, and food and knew how to distract her. The girls loved it when Shruthi drew pictures on their hands or made different hairstyles for them. Seeing my kids having fun and enjoying the company of such a loving friend/caregiver was heartwarming. Ms Ranjana had an excellent schedule for the children, and my girls always ate and slept well in her care. They did various activities, including arts and crafts, music, singing, backyard visits, and more. They were exceptionally loving with the children on their birthdays and holidays. Dinodreamcare provided the perfect environment for my children's growth and development. My girls often came home with projects, creations, and stories about their friends. Ms Ranjana closely observed my girls and provided sound advice as they grew and changed. Her team also helped potty train my kids, which was much appreciated. We consider Ms Ranjana, Shruthi, and the Dinodreamcare team part of our family and highly recommend their daycare. We are incredibly grateful for them and the care they provided to our children. read more

Dinodreamcare - Last day of Dinodreamcare Mrs. Ranjana - Child Care & Day Care Near Me - Union City, California

Dino Dreamcare was my daughter's first daycare when she was 16mo old. The facility was clean, engaging and made it safe for infant/toddlers during their early phases of physical development. Ms. Ranjana was pleasant to talk to, enthusiastic about caring for kids and feeding them nourishing food. It helped a lot in our efforts to start off our daughter with a healthy relationship with food. Kids activities and naps were well structured. Our daughter took more than a month to get accustomed to go to a daycare and Ms. Ranjana was very patient to see my daughter through the transition. We worked with her to bring our daughter home early on days where she cried a lot to make it easier for other kids to nap. One fine day, as if some switch flipped, my daughter was happy to go to daycare, and in good spirits every time we picked her up. read more

Our daughter is 3 years old . We were in a crunch for finding childcare and went with the first place referred by one of our friend we could find that had availability... best choice ever! it can be hard to trust just anyone with your child and I couldn't ask for better caretakers for our child. Ranjana love her and treat her as their own and every morning she wakes up super excited to go to "school" because she wants to see her teacher and friends. Ranjana's communication is fabulous and are always there to help with any questions you may have. Thank you so much! read more

our kid went to this daycare for 2 years and it has taught her literally everything she knows as of now. Would recommend this to anyone around the area if you're looking for loving teachers, great healthy food, fun activities, very fast learning and growth of your kid and flexible timings read more

Our experience with Dinodreamcare has been wonderful. Our 15-month-old is always happy going in and coming out, which reassures us every day.Ms Ranjana is a very warm and welcoming person and follows everyday routine meticulously. We are particularly impressed by the nutritious meals provided and high hygiene standards, which are crucial for us as parents.This care has been a standout for us also because they take fewer holidays than others. It's reassuring to have consistent care year-round, knowing our 15-month-old is well-supported and happy .We're truly grateful for the positive impact this daycare has had on our little one's early years. read more

My son went to Dinodreamcare for more than a year and he absolutely loved it !! He started there when he was 2 years and 3 months old. Ms Ranjana and Shruthi took care of him very well , she also worked on his phonics as my son was not able to pronounce some words properly . My son always had some stories about his friends and Ms Ranjana. Dinodreamcare takes care of hygiene seriously , I don't remember of my son getting sick from daycare ! Thank you for everything that you do ! read more

Hello Parents, If you are looking for a good home based day care for your little ones, you must consider Dino Dream care. This day care was recommended to me by my friend as her son was also attending the same place. She gave me such good review that I didn't even research for any other day care for my daughter. She went here for a year and really enjoyed her time there. Ms Ranjana and family are so loving and caring, they love and take care of all the kids as their own. Ms. Ranjana prepares yummy food, ensures that kids are well fed, reads them stories, also takes great care of them. My daughter would always be excited to go to school and play with her friends. Also, she would come and tell me what she learnt everyday at the school. Sometimes, On weekends she would say "I am bored at home and want to go to school" :) I am sure she is gonna miss Ranjana, her family and all her friends. To all the parents searching for a daycare, you shouldn't think twice to consider Dino DreamCare! You won't be disappointed at all. :) read more

My daughter went to Dino Dreamcare for a year. This is one of the best experiences for her, she made great friends and had very strong bond with her teacher Ms Ranjana. Ms Ranjana focused on providing a well rounded learning for kids along with delicious home cooked meals. We are very fortunate to have sent our daughter to Dinodream care. Our daughter felt so loved and cared for here. We are very thankful to Ms Ranjana and her team. read more

DinoDreamcare is not only a licensed child care facility but more importantly a very caring, safe, flexible and kid-friendly environment. Ms. Ranjana is kind a hearted motherly figure who genuinely builds a connect with the children she cares for and loves them unconditionally. She provides nutritious home made lunch and snacks which is very convenient. The kids are taught various things (numbers, alphabets, reading, writing, general knowledge etc.). and kept engaged through creative arts, crafts and games. My 3 year old daughter adjusted almost instantly and really loved going to DinoDreamcare. I was especially impressed with the way Ms. Ranjana handled the situation during Covid related incidents in a pragmatic manner and following all the rules mandated by the authorities. I definitely recommend this business. read more

If you are looking for a daycare for your kids look no further! Ms Ranjana is a gem of a person who genuinely loves what she does. Her approach to teaching is Montessori based. We enrolled our son at 18 months and were very apprehensive as he was a covid baby with minimal social interaction prior to this! Ms Ranjana was very communicative and sent pictures and videos throughout the first week to ease our concerns. He adjusted within 2 weeks and started closing the door on us at drop offs. He was a very picky eater and now LOVES Ms Ranjana's home cooked food and often asks for it on the weekend. We enrolled our daughter at 9 months and boy was she a challenging one! It took her 4+wks to fully adjust but Ms Ranjana was patient and tried every trick in the book to help her adjust. Thank you Ms Ranjana for all that you do! read more

My daughter loves Miss Ranjana and her family at the DinoDreamcare. She is a fantastic teacher and a great story teller to kids.  She has her way around with kids and has very simplistic approach in working with kids . She prepares some of the delicious food and kids love it. My daughter used to ask her Mom " Why can't you cook like Miss Ranjana"  and  that says all about how yummy the food is.Each and every kid at the day care love Miss Ranjana. We would have loved to continue my daughter at DinoDreamcare but had to optout due to personal reasons but she still misses her friends at DinoDreamcare and Miss Ranjana family. Thank you Miss Ranjana for taking care of our little one .I would definitely recommend DinoDreamcare to any one looking for day care in Union City. read more

Both our kids went to Dinodreamcare and Ranjana. Older one went here till it was time for her to go to a pre-school. I am not sure if a parent can give a more sincere review than sending their second kid to the same school. That is exactly what we have done. Unlike the first one, the second one was much younger when she started (9 months). Each kid takes their own time getting adjusted to the new environment. Ranjana partnered with us and made sure to 1) communicate 2) give the kid time to adjust 3) Have check points to see if she is improving. As parents, we can't ask for more. It is important for us that our kid is having a good time. Second one is doing just fine and adjusted well. Thanks to Ranjana! read more

This is one of the best daycare in Union City, we enrolled our 9 month old daughter in Dinodaycare and were really worried about her but Ranjana took really good care of her, in 2 weeks my daughter started smiling and waiving me good bye when I dropper her at daycare. If you are looking for a daycare in Union City area I highly recommend visiting and talking to Ranjana. read more

We love Dinodreamcare! We are so fortunate to have found Ms Ranjana and her daycare almost a year ago. Our family was in need of a more consistent childcare environment and needed help immediately, as our previous daycare had questionable vacation/time-off schedules that just didn't work for two full-time working parents. Dinodreamcare had an opening and we jumped at the chance to enroll our 14 month old daughter. She took about a week to adjust but was so much happier being able to interact with the other children and surrounded by caring and loving teachers. Our family greatly appreciated the warm, fun, and supportive environment (and the yummy meals!) that Dinodreamcare has provided for our girl. For our peace of mind, it was definitely worth the switch to Dinodreamcare. At Dinodreamcare, we also know that she is learning a lot of educational activities and skills that is impressive for her age. Her social skills are great for being a pandemic baby, and we credit this all to Ms Ranjana, Ms Shruthi, and Ms May. Thank you so much for your kindness and care for our girl! read more

My son went to this day care for an year. Miss Ranjana took good care of him. He used to go happily every single day. He used to eat well and play a lot with his friends. I will definitely recommend this daycare. read more

My Son attended Dinodreamcare from age 2.5 yrs to 4yrs old. its a perfect combination of a homely vibe with structured curriculum schedule helping a child grow in every aspect. Ms. Ranjana has great knowledge about healthy food and she takes in a lot of effort to make it interesting and yummy for the children. i still make her protein rich pancakes for my son read more

My soon to be 4 year old loves going to this daycare. Miss Ranjana and Shruthi take good care of my kid. We were recommended by family friend to send our kid here. Miss Ranjana was very accommodating and helped my kid adjust easily. My kid has a food allergy and Miss Ranjana and Shruthi are very particular in checking the ingredients to make sure that the allergen is not present in the food. Kid is always happy to go to daycare everyday. She loves to play with all the toys inside and in the backyard as well. We are very happy with our decision of sending our kid to Dino DreamCare. read more

One really feels a lot of anxiety sending their kids away. But Ms Ranjana made this transition much easier for us. My kiddos settled in no time. My older one started here when he was about 22 months and younger one when she was 14 months. If my husband and I had to trust anyone to care for our kids, it would be unequivocally her. She is amazing at communicating, giving updates and going an extra mile to keep kids safe, and healthy. The entire family is immensely nurturing, loving and caring. She has a good portion of the day, everyday, for interactive play and learn style teaching. She makes it fun for kids with so many toys which is a combination of montessori style and play style. Quality and attention on healthy eating habits for the kids at this young age is another aspect why I love her care. It indeed is a 'dreamcare'. Anyone on the fence should not think twice. She and her team are the most transparent caregivers I have seen. read more

Miss Ranjana is awesome !! My kid started going to DinoDreamcare when he was 19 months old and within no time he was all set. Ranjana takes care of the kids so well; makes them comfortable & gives them a feel of home. Somedays even I've a tough time to bring my kid back home this definitely is one of the best daycares in union city. I highly recommend this one for people looking for a daycare. read more

This is a very good home based day care for younger kids. My 3-year-old went to this care for a few months but he loved it at this day care. Ms. Ranjana has always been professional and was really wonderful to my kid. Many thanks for her. We are grateful for the positive experience that my kid has had at Ms. Ranjana's care. I highly recommend this one for people looking for a day care in and around Union City. read more

I have no problem recommending Dinodreamcare to friends and family. My son has been going to this daycare since Jan 2020, since he was just 4 months old. We think he has been given excellent care here. He has shown good and consistent development in his social and cognitive skills. He seems to enjoy the place; I have always seen him wear a smile when I drop him off in the morning. Ranjana is kind, punctual, and very upfront. She communicates regularly via WhatsApp on how the kid is doing and if there are any specific concerns. I have not experienced any cleanliness or safety issues. In all Dinodreamcare works well for a working family as ours. We are happy to send our kid and feel confident in strongly endorsing them. read more

This is a very good home based day care for starter kids. Our son went to this daycare for about 5 months and we could see a very marked improvement in his social skill development. There is plenty of space for kids to play and they keep them occupied with different activities and well fed. Ranjana was always very professional in dealing with anything and accommodating as well. We were so impressed and we ended up recommending two other parents whose kids would be joining later this month. read more

I have been sending my son to Ms Ranjana's daycare since my son was 3yrs. He is 5 now and will go to school. Ms Ranjana helped us in many ways - in our house rice is the staple and my son wouldn't eat rice, so I always had to figure out what to cook for him separately. Very patiently she taught him to eat rice with curry, dal etc. She would cook warm and fresh homemade meals everyday! That was a big relief. Shruthi, Ms Ranjana's daughter engaged with my son in lots of art and crafts and my little one started taking lot of interest in coloring activities. Its a family run daycare and Ms Ranjana and her family used to do all sorts of fun activities like egg hunt, christmas party, pajama days which was really fun for both kids and parents. I also want to thank Ms Ranjana for supporting me when I needed help with preparing my son for entrance assessment exam in private school. Ms Ranjana takes good care of the kids and really works with the parents to address whatever they need. I would highly recommend Dino Daycare. read more

Ranjana is amazing! Our 3 year old has learned and blossomed in her care. We are grateful for the positive experience he's having and feel secure knowing we have him in a safe, caring, and loving learning environment. read more

Ms Ranjana is a very caring, loving teacher, I completely trust leaving my children in her care.

My daughter went to this home based daycare for about a year. Ms. Ranjana, her assistant at the time and her family took great care of the kids. Ranjana puts effort to do new activities and provide healthy food. Kids learn a lot. Also, she was upfront and professional with her policies about the day care. She would look after the kids if we run late because of commuting. Would recommend this daycare to others. read more

Sham! Sham! Sham! Run 100 miles away from Dino Daycare if you care for your child. This is a home-based daycare which needs to be shut down asap, IMHO. We sent our 2-year old son for about 4-5 weeks. Here are some details for my extremely low opinion on this daycare: Child safety: As a parent, I have a strong preference to have child safety as the first priority of any daycare. Three weeks after our son started the daycare, we heard the licensing office found a temp worker with no FBI authorization/fingerprinting. Ranjana had a bogus explanation why that happened. This made us extremely nervous. Learning: There is utter chaos in there. When 12-14 kids are filled indiscriminately in a small Bay Area living room, already filled with couch, furniture etc- hard to expect anything else. There is little structured learning time allocated here. They are just fire-fighting on a daily basis. Unhealthy: The place isn't well maintained, it is dirty and not healthy for young children. Hardly a surprise given how many children they have in a small area. Outright liars: We were told our son is eating a bowl full of food in lunch, that he snacks on crackers etc. In reality, he lost weight by more than 2 lbs in 5 weeks. And we know he isn't a good grazer of cookies and crackers. Unprofessional: All these 5 weeks, we were told our son is doing fine. Then suddenly the story changed one fine day- likely they enrolled older kids who are easier to manage. We were supposed to not send our son to the daycare with a notice of 1 day. We felt so bad for our son after this traumatic experience for him that we made a point to be around him for the next few weeks, take him out to various activities and get over his bad experience at Dino. Partly, our own guilt to have exposed our son to this. Take my word, don't make a decision which will lead to this guilt. read more

Best home based daycare in Bay area. Highly recommend. My son is really having a good time and learning new things. read more

For new parents who are looking for homely, caring, loving and safe second home for your kids, I would highly recommend Dino Dreamcare. My son was the first one to enroll when Miss Ranjana got her daycare license. He was just 9 months then and he still goes there, he is 4 now. Miss Ranjana takes good care of kids, provides healthy snacks and lunch, lots of toys for kids to play, good backyard space and toys. Kids do arts and crafts and also have circle time, story time and festive celebrations. It is perfect for anyone who is looking to send the kids for first time to preschool or if you are vegetarian and are looking for healthy food options Dino Daycare is the place to go. Can't miss mentioning Shruti(miss Ranjana's daughter), she also helps around sometimes and loves playing with the kids and takes really good care. My son loves her so much and keeps wanting to call them home or sometimes doesn't want to come back home. read more

If you are looking for a neat, homely atmosphere for your child around fremont, this is the place for you. I put my son here when he was so fussy about food. Thanks to Miss Ranjana, she made sure that my son tried every variety of food and now he eats everything. Her food is too delicious and she packs us some if she has tried something new. So it's a win win!!! Overall both Miss Ranjana and Miss Kusham r very caring and they try hard to discipline the kids which is great. Definitely check this place for ur lil ones if ur looking for a daycare around this area. read more

Our daughter was enrolled into Ms. Ranjana's Dino dreamcare before she turned five. Our daughter really enjoyed learning, academically and socially. Ms. Ranjana helped our daughter prepare for kindergarten. Our daughter loved going to Ms. Ranjana's daycare. read more

Dinodreamcare is phemomenal. My little one was only 14 months when he started. Ranjana, her staff and family is doing a good job helping kids to learn a lot. I'm so amaze how my son started counting, identify shapes, sing ABCs, do basic sounds and so much more in a very young age. They always provide kids with yummy and healthy meals. I never had problem with this home daycare. They love my baby like their own and they are all nice. 5 star for her! read more
