    Wow what an amazing location for kids-a dream room literally. They have different themed rooms like space/kitchen/art/trains/music/doctors waiting room/dinosaur excavation room/nursery/etc all under one roof. It's so clean inside with no shoe policy and the toys are clean. I've been to other places where the toys are filthy and look as though they never wipe them down. This place is the opposite. The day we went they also had the monrovia fire truck come outside and give the kids a demonstration of the uniform, air tank, and let the kids operate a mini fire hose. It was amazing. My son didn't want to leave. Make sure you feed your kid first or bring lunch because your kid will not want to leave. You can bring a sack lunch and there's a designated room to feed your kid and eat. Wish I could come back but only open weekdays for public and weekends is usually for parties.

    This children's center did a really great remix on the idea of a play area. There are 11 different rooms and each one has a different theme. There's even a main area with a stage so that each child can get their Princess/mermaid/Beyonce on. It's around the corner from a pub as well as a pinkberry. Hey you dads, I'm not saying to get your pre-game or post-game on but it's certainly an option. Just kidding, Mom's. :) The great part about this place is that you can essentially let your kids run from playroom to playroom whilst you relax and chat it up with the other adults. Think of this place as a chuck-e-cheese that promotes imagination and human interaction.

    Space Room- kiddos fave! He liked jumping on the inflated donut in there lol.

    As a fun weekly summer treat, I'll take my son to venture new indoor play places to stray from the heat! This was my first time coming to the Dream Big Center! I'm not sure if it was the time I went, but there were probably 2 other kids there. I mean it's totally fine, I figured itd be a nice chance for my kid to play with all the toys and run around. I was expecting they would possibly have a slide and things to climb on but they did not. They mostly had rooms for play time. The place is spacious, and there are various rooms that have a dedicated theme to it. example: A grocery room, a baby room, a train room, sand room, galaxy room etc! The rooms wrap around the space and they have a neat stage area in the middle. My only cons would be: 1. I wished they had some slides or things to climb on in there for the toddler who likes to be supper active! 2. Their Sand Room is a great ide and fun! However, I'd recommend maybe getting kinetic sand or the newer type of "sand" where it's actually tiny cuts of rubber. My kid tried eating, well he did eat some sand by accident, and I noticably left the room feeling sticky and dirty. Other than that, still a nice place to keep your kids occupied!

    My kids absolutely love this place! We celebrated my daughters 5th Birthday here last weekend and everyone had a blast! It was super easy registering online to host her party here and 2 weeks before the party I was contacted and given the concierge treatment of really being heard out on how i envious es her birthday to go from decorations, activities and food. Deeana provided great resources and suggestions. On the day of the party we arrived 30 minutes early to setup by Morgan and another staff. They were super friendly and helpful. They right away dove into opening boxes and setting things up nicely for the party. During the party they remained helping keeping count and fretting guest, making sure we stayed in schedule and just being there when I needed a helping hand. The kids enjoyed themselves to the fullest. The whole time you heard laughters and screams of joy. The facility was very cleaned and had enough activities for kids up to 10 to do. Not one child was bored. I highly recommend this place and adore how professional and sweet everyone was. They made me and my family feel extremely welcomed and delivered above my expectations. Also helps that their prices are reasonable!

    Amazing! We had a Dream Big Little Tots Mobile Party for my son's 1 year party. Deanna and her team were professional and showed up right on time for the setup. They took what little spot we had and make it and absolute fun little area for my son and his friends. The ball pit with a slide was a complete HIT. Some photos before the crazy ones came.

    Con: The place is not child proof. The rustic wooden boxes have Roth edges, splinters, and nails exposed. Pro: The place is beautiful. But personally, for my kids, I'd opt for a place that is more purely children oriented.

    Our favorite place to spend the day! Absolutely amazing hidden gem

    Best place to bring your little one on a very hot day or rainy day. So much to do at the sensorial rooms.

    This place is amazing, came here for a 2yr old birthday party and liked how they have about 10 differently themed rooms for kids to enjoy. Will definately recommend.

    Brought my 4 year old girl and 8 (almost 9) year old boy to Dream Big for the first time yesterday. They had an absolute blast. I'd only allowed 2 hours playtime being I didn't know what to expect, but my kids could have literally stayed all day. I was concerned about my son being entertained in a mostly toddler aged environment, but air hockey kept him busy and he even spent a good deal of time in the "store" area. Overall, the room themes were cute, the place was super clean and there were plenty of places for parents to sit and watch the fun. Next time, I will bring lunch and use the eating area to get more play time.

    Such a cute place for kids. Took my 2 & 1 year old and they loved playing for hours. Every room has a different theme.

    Monrovia's best kept family fun secret! My 18 month old daughter loves Dream Big! I love that she gets to spend hours playing while also learning and developing physically (lots of sensory experiences). There is something for all ages. So nice to have a place in Monrovia where parents and kids can get together for fun that doesn't involve loud noises, blinking lights, and sensory overload (yeah, I'm looking at you, Chuck E. Cheese's!) The cost is honestly lower than I expected...we got the monthly package for $55 and she's already been 6-10 times so it has paid for itself. It is a little bit hidden but easy enough to get to if you just look next to Pinkberry. For those of you not near Monrovia, it is right in Old Towne so you can make a day of it with all of the shops and restaurants. The pictures I'm posting speak for themselves :) Hope to see more people there! Two tips: 1. Check their Facebook page because if they are hosting birthday parties they will be closed to the public. 2. If you are a mom who hasn't had time to get a pedicure (guilty) bring socks because you cannot wear shoes in the play area...bare feet or socks only.

    This place is so welcoming and the decor is like a rustic feel- very clean and chic. All kids will feel welcomed. The owner created this space because she wanted a place where she could bring her kids to work. They also provide therapy sessions for kids with autism.

    Best play area for most kids but especially little girls. Great clean and not so noisy. Definitely a must stop if you have small kids.

Our first child thrived through receiving Services from these two amazing teachers. Mrs. Alicia eventually worked with our child and by the time our son aged out he had made so much progress it was amazing. The bar was set so high for us that we had expected the Services our son received as the standard. Fast forward a couple years and our other son soon qualified for Services. Although there was no space for our son with Cal Peds, we had another known company provide services and the difference of services was staggering. We were so unsatisfied with the other company that I had to ask our case worker again of Cal Peds had any availability. Fortunately they did and we were pleasantly surprised that Mrs. Alicia helped do the intake and meet Ms. Justeen who was our 2nd child's instructor, and she too did not disappoint. Ms. Justeen helped our youngest really come out of his shell and built trust with him allowing him to really show his potential. Seeing our kids grow so much in such a short amount of time with these wonderful instructors has been such a blessing. We cannot praise these instructors enough and we highly recommend Cal Peds for the Early Infant Intervention Program. Thank You Mrs Monique, Mrs. Alicia, and Ms. Justeen for your hardworking and dedication to helping our Children!!!

Our grandson suffered so much neglect, abuse and loss in his short little life, it was hard to tell whether his difficulties were as a result of in utero drug/alcohol exposure, developmental delays or sheer trauma! We were so relieved to finally "get" Katie, who kindly and compassionately helped guide us through the process of getting the answers we wanted and the help our grandson needed! We have found Katie to be reliable, conscientious and very thorough. She has even gone to school with our grandson and spent the day with him and his teachers, in order to get a clearer picture of the issues he faces. But more importantly, Katie is empathetic! She has sat in our home, more than once, and cried with us. That kind of emotional support is invaluable to us, above and beyond the practical help that she continues to provide. She is a gift to our family.
