Dream Big Children's Center

Stories like yours: the first step

Every family we meet at Dream Big started with a single phone call. 📞💙

Many parents tell us they hesitated for weeks (or months) before seeking help — out of fear, not knowing where to go, or simply not having the time.

If that sounds familiar, I want you to know: you're not alone, and you don't need all the answers to take the first step.

We guide you from that first call all the way to the day your child starts therapy.

Text or call us at (909) 229-4502 — we're here.

Términos sobre el Autismo: Apraxia.

Querer hablar y poder hablar no siempre son lo mismo, y eso está bien. Hay muchas maneras de apoyar el desarrollo de la comunicación de un niño.

Ever wondered what it's like to work as a Behavior Therapist? 👀

At Dream Big, a BT works one-on-one with a single child throughout the session — playing, connecting, and helping them build new skills, one interaction at a time.

It's a job for people who find joy in small wins and genuinely want to learn, with constant supervision and training from our clinical team.

If you're looking for work with real purpose (not just a paycheck), this is your place.

Términos sobre el Autismo: Procesamiento Sensorial y CAA (Comunicación Aumentativa y Alternativa).

Cada niño experimenta el mundo de una manera diferente, y cada uno merece ser comprendido, sin importar cómo se comunique.

¿Tienes alguna pregunta sobre las necesidades sensoriales o las herramientas de comunicación? Déjala en los comentarios. 👇

What does “graduation” mean at Dream Big? 🎓

August is graduation month at Dream Big, and it’s a time we celebrate with so much pride. 🩵

It’s not just a ceremony — it’s a milestone that shows a child has built the skills they need for their next step, whether that’s a general education classroom or a different level of support.

It’s one of our favorite days, and one of the hardest to say goodbye on. Because saying goodbye means we did our job. And watching our kiddos take their next step is something we’ll always be proud of.

¿Qué significa “graduarse” en Dream Big? 🎓

Agosto es nuestro mes de graduaciones en Dream Big, y es un momento que celebramos con muchísimo orgullo. 🩵

No es solo una ceremonia — es un logro que muestra que un niño ha construido las habilidades que necesita para dar su siguiente paso, ya sea en un salón de educación general o con un nuevo nivel de apoyo.

Es uno de nuestros días favoritos y, al mismo tiempo, uno de los más difíciles para decir adiós. Porque decir adiós significa que hicimos bien nuestro trabajo. Y ver a nuestros niños dar su siguiente paso es algo que siempre nos llenará de orgullo.

"Does my insurance cover this?" is one of the first questions parents ask us — and it's a great one.

Dream Big accepts Medi-Cal, and our team handles the insurance process with you every step of the way. You call, we take it from there.

We serve children 18 months to 4 years old with autism or developmental delays across 11 Southern California centers.

Meet Judy — BCBA at our Delano center, 6 years into a career she still loves fiercely.

How long have you been in the field?
6 years

What is your "why" for wanting to help young children?
One of my greatest passions is seeing children make progress and celebrate their successes, whether big or small. Watching a child achieve meaningful milestones they have worked hard for is rewarding. Whether it is hearing a nonverbal child say their first word or produce a new sound, or seeing a child who initially struggled to engage in play learn to interact and play alongside peers, this growth and progress continues to motivate and inspire me.

What do you love about your role at Dream Big?
I value the collaboration and teamwork at Dream Big, both within the Delano Center and across other locations. It's reassuring to know that support is readily available. I appreciate being part of a team that works together to help both staff and clients succeed.

Grateful for you, Judy. 🩵
