Roberts High School

A Little Dreamer's Child Care Center in Salem offers preschool, kindergarten prep, and care before and after school. The preschool and kindergarten-prep classes meet at the center, so a child is not riding to a separate school for that part of the day. Families can use ERDC, Child Care Aware, and other assistance programs. The center does not charge a yearly registration fee or a deposit. A tour is how families see the classrooms before they enroll. Parents in the Willamette Valley have voted the center Best Child Care and Best Preschool for seven years in a row.
