A Place Where Your Child Feels Safe, Loved, and Ready to Grow
Choosing a daycare is one of the most important decisions you’ll make as a parent. You’re not just looking for supervision — you want a place where your child feels safe, supported, and truly cared for.
At Dream Kids Day Care, we are a licensed, home-based daycare located in San Mateo, meeting all safety and care standards so you can have complete peace of mind. Many of the families we serve make the short drive from Millbrae each day — and they wouldn’t trade it for anything closer.
We proudly accept the 4Cs Program, helping make quality childcare more accessible and affordable for families throughout San Mateo County, including those coming from Millbrae.
This is not a large, crowded facility. This is a calm, welcoming space where children are known, valued, and supported every single day. Parents from Millbrae who’ve tried the bigger centers tell us the same thing: their child was getting lost in the shuffle. That doesn’t happen here.
- Parent Peace – a real thing in Millbrae
A Home-Based Environment That Feels Like Family
Instead of a large, crowded facility, we provide a small, home-based environment in San Mateo where children feel comfortable, secure, and truly seen. We build real connections with each child — we know when they’re having a tough morning, what their favorite snack is, and which songs make them smile.
For Millbrae families making the drive over on Highway 101 or El Camino Real, the extra few minutes on the road quickly becomes the easiest part of the day. Drop-off is calm, kids are happy, and parents leave feeling good.
We take the time to understand each child’s personality, routine, and developmental needs — because no two children are the same. Millbrae parents tell us that’s exactly what they were hoping for.
- That's exactly why Dream Kids Day Care was created — to give parents in Millbrae and across San Mateo County the confidence that their child has a place where they truly belong, just a short drive away.

What Makes Our Daycare Different
Personalized Care That Truly Matters
We keep our group small so your child gets the attention, support, and care they deserve. Whether you’re commuting through Millbrae or heading into San Francisco after drop-off, you’ll feel the difference right away. It’s not just daycare — it’s a place where your child’s personality shines.
Early Learning That Builds Strong Foundations
Through structured activities, children develop language, communication, social skills, teamwork, problem-solving, and independence — building strong foundations for future learning. For Millbrae families, that means less worry about school readiness and more confidence in your child’s growth.
A Natural Connection to the Outdoors
Children thrive when they can explore. Our daycare in San Mateo includes daily outdoor play and nature-based experiences, keeping kids active, curious, and engaged. Fresh air and hands-on exploration are part of every day — no screens, no shortcuts.
A Safe, Trusted Environment
Your child’s safety is our top priority. Our facility is fully licensed and insured, meeting every San Mateo County standard. We know how tough it can be to leave your little one with someone new — especially when you’re rushing to catch a Caltrain or squeezing in errands before pick-up. We’ve built our entire space around that trust.

What Parents in Millbrae Are Saying
I just wanted to share how grateful I am for the care my daughter receives here in Millbrae. It’s truly a place filled with love, patience, and genuine dedication. You can feel that every child is treated with kindness, attention, and respect! My daughter is always happy to go, and that means everything to me. Knowing she is in a safe, nurturing, and loving environment with someone so caring makes all the difference in our daily lives—especially with the morning rush on 280. I highly recommend it!
— Thaís Daniele of Millbrae
My kids attend this daycare near Millbrae Avenue and we absolutely love it. From the moment you walk in, you can feel how much Rosa truly cares. The space is wonderful, very clean, organized, and welcoming. The toys are new, creative, and very engaging, and the activities she does with the kids are always thoughtful and fun. The homemade food is very healthy, and my kids love it. Most importantly, they love Rosa. She genuinely cares about each child and always puts their safety and health above everything else. You can tell she is a very dedicated educator who does this with love, not just as a job. I had been searching for a daycare in Millbrae for a while, but nothing felt right, until a friend recommended Rosa. Finding her daycare was such a blessing for our family. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a safe, loving, and high-quality place for their children.

I had never seen my son so happy at a daycare in Millbrae until now. Every morning, he eagerly looks forward to getting ready and going. Rosa is a wonderful person, very patient and truly caring. She takes excellent care of my son.
Many times when I go to pick him up from our home near Green Hills, he cries because he doesn’t want to leave. Since he started at this daycare, his speech has improved so much, and he is learning many things he wasn’t saying or doing before.
I highly recommend this daycare in Millbrae. Thank you, Rosa ❤️
