About
Dream Enrichment Classes offers specific programs including Early Engineers, Firefly Art, Honeycode, and Chess Academy. Students take part in STEM-based learning programs, a creative building program that uses Legos and K'Nex, drawing with a variety of art media, and chess focused on openings, endgames, strategy, and tactics. All supplies and building materials are provided for these classes.
• Ages: 5–12 years old
• Schedule: Classes are 70 minutes and typically run in 7–8 week sessions, with 4–5 sessions offered across the year; hours of operation are Monday–Friday, 9:00am–5:00pm
Classes are held in a designated classroom or multipurpose room on campus, and they start 10 minutes after the school bell rings. Students are always supervised during class time.
All Dream Enrichment Classes instructors are fingerprinted and cleared through the California Department of Justice. Instructors include Lego enthusiasts and current or future teachers, and they complete a comprehensive training program on the Early Engineers teaching process before teaching.
The Dream Team states that it works to provide the community with high quality programs that create happy, smart, confident children and inspire a life-long love of learning. The stated goal is to get more kids interested in science and math through confidence-building classes, and the projects are intentionally created to enrich children rather than just keep them busy.
Dream Enrichment Classes notes almost 20 years of combined afterschool programming experience and more than 10 years of providing enrichment programs in the Sacramento area. The organization reports holding programs in over 70 schools across 24 school districts and holding more than 8,000 classes each school year. It describes itself as a local small business, owned and operated by a Sacramento parent of three, and states a firm commitment to STEAM-enriched education.
The program limits classes to 14 students so each child receives attention, and it prefers to separate grades K–2 and 3–6 into two classes so students are challenged at an appropriate level. Classes are held on campus, all supplies are provided, and projects in Early Engineers do not repeat, allowing a child to attend from kindergarten through 5th grade without repeating a single project. Staff call a guardian’s cell phone to verify every class absence, and instructors take photos in every class and send a link to an online gallery.
Early Engineers is described as a creative building program that uses Legos and K'Nex to help students gain STEM knowledge through a variety of weekly projects. Firefly Art is offered because the program states that the creative process is a fundamental part of development, and in Firefly Art, instructors embrace “mistakes” as part of life and teach students to move through and beyond them. Honeycode is offered because the program states that children need to be creators, not just consumers, of technology. Chess Academy is offered because the program states that it focuses on learning chess, not just playing it. The organization summarizes its focus as “FULL STEAM AHEAD! (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, Math).”
Parent testimonials describe Firefly Art as having great instructors and say it has been a positive influence on a child’s love of art. Other parents report that Early Engineers has supported socializing in a natural setting for a child who loves building, and that classes are engaging, hands-on, and use various building materials such as Legos and K'Nex while learning about physics. One parent notes that Firefly Art camps included varied projects, daily emails about what was studied, and an art gallery showcase on the last day.
