The Dream Big Way

Empowering Learning Through Compassionate Connection


At Dream Big, we believe learning thrives when children feel safe, happy, and engaged. Our center-based ABA therapy is more than a program—it’s a pathway to growth, preparing children for school and life’s adventures.

What Makes Dream Big Different?

Center-Based Learning

A vibrant, structured environment where social skills and skill-building intertwine.

Scheduled Blocks

Consistent, predictable routines that create comfort and confidence.

Whole-Child Approach

Compassionate care that celebrates each child’s unique potential.

Group Time

Small-group ABA therapy focused on social skills, turn-taking, sharing, and learning.

Our Approach

Our center-based sessions help children grow through social learning and peer interaction. In small groups, children practice communication, turn-taking, and problem-solving—preparing them for preschool and kindergarten. As they progress, they gain key skills like toilet training, classroom routines, and social readiness in a supportive, play-based setting.

We work closely with families to ensure progress continues at home, offering tools and support that extend beyond each session.
