Dawn Choy
Founder of Dreamkids Kindergarten, Author of Principled Parenting & A Mom To 4 children

As a mother of four and an early childhood educator, I understand parents' daily struggles firsthand. In those early years, it’s natural to feel uncertain whether you’re doing enough to help your child thrive. Many parents grapple with questions like: How do I create routines that stick? How can I encourage my child’s independence while still providing guidance? And perhaps most importantly, how can I help my child manage their emotions and build confidence?

I’ve been there, balancing work, life, and raising my children, and I know that every parent wants their child to grow into a happy, resilient, and confident individual. But I also know that getting there requires more than love and patience—it takes building strong foundations early on. That’s why I founded Dreamkids.

At Dreamkids, we focus on the essential building blocks that prepare children for a lifetime of success: teaching principles, cultivating tiny habits and providing relevant, hands-on learning experiences. By nurturing problem-solving skills and instilling positive habits, we can help children excel in school and navigate life's challenges with grace and resilience.

Our unique approach, inspired by Ray Dalio’s Principles, helps children become great problem-solvers from a young age. We teach them to think critically, take ownership of their actions, and embrace challenges confidently. Our "Habit Heroes" program turns character-building into a fun, meaningful journey where children develop the tiny daily habits that shape who they are. Our project-based learning curriculum brings real-world context to their education, ensuring that the skills they learn today will prepare them for the challenges of tomorrow.

As a mum and early childhood educator, I’ve seen how transformational these principles can be—both for my children and the countless students I’ve had the privilege of guiding at Dreamkids. I want to share that same journey with you, helping your child build the skills and confidence they need to reach their full potential.

Principled Parenting:
Guiding Your Child's Growth Through Challenges

As a parent, you know that raising a child comes with joy, responsibility, and questions. You want your child to grow up confident, kind, and ready to face the world—but finding the right approach can be challenging. That’s why this page is so important. At Dreamkids, we offer more than just academics. We equip your child with the life principles, habits, and hands-on experiences they need to excel in school and thrive in life.

Choosing the right school is the first step to being a better parent. By making the best decision for your child’s early education, you set the foundation for their lifelong success. Read on to discover how our unique approach prepares your child for a brighter future—and why Dreamkids could be the best decision you make for their growth and happiness.

The Challenges Parents Are Facing—
and How Dreamkids Can Help

01

. How Can I Help My Child Feel More Secure and Confident Through Routines?

Children thrive on routine, and having consistent habits helps them feel secure and confident. At Dreamkids, we help children develop tiny habits—like keeping calm, being grateful and empathetic —that become second nature. These daily actions lead to consistent behaviour, which makes life at home easier and gives your child a sense of stability and confidence in their development.

02

How Can I Teach My Child to Be Independent?
 

Helping your child develop independence is a crucial part of their growth. At Dreamkids, we provide children with the tools they need to take responsibility for their actions and make thoughtful choices. Our “Principle Handbook” helps children reflect on their day, solve problems, and set goals, encouraging independence from an early age.

03

How Can I Help My Child Build Emotional Resilience in Today’s World?

In a world where social media and constant opinions are a part of everyday life, helping your child build emotional resilience is more important than ever. The highs and lows of early childhood can feel overwhelming, but emotional resilience allows children to navigate these feelings healthily. At Dreamkids, we focus on developing this resilience through tiny habits like reflection and gratitude. These simple, daily practices help children manage frustration, disappointment, and fear, equipping them with the tools to face life’s challenges—and the opinions of others—with confidence and grace.

3 Reasons Why Parents Choose Dreamkids: Our Unique Approach

Functionality You Will Love

01

We Teach Principles for Life-Ready Problem Solvers.

At Dreamkids, we believe that preparing children for the future means teaching them how to think, not just what to think. From a young age, we introduce core life principles inspired by Ray Dalio’s work, helping children become independent thinkers and confident problem-solvers. Whether learning to approach challenges with a growth mindset or embracing responsibility, our principles ensure your child will be ready to navigate whatever life throws their way.

02

We Build Character through Tiny Habits.

We know that significant changes start with small steps. At Dreamkids, we focus on building character by forming tiny, meaningful habits that stick with children for life. Through our engaging "Habit Heroes" program, we make character-building fun and impactful. Whether learning to be kind, developing a sense of responsibility, or practising patience, these daily habits shape children’s behaviour and build the foundation for strong, positive character. Imagine a school where your child starts their day with kindness and resilience, carrying these values beyond the classroom and into their daily lives.

03

We Emphasize Relevant, Hands-On Learning through Project-Based Education.

We believe education should be more than just memorising facts—it should be about meaningfully applying knowledge. Our project-based learning curriculum brings real-world issues into the classroom, helping children understand the world and how they can contribute. From sustainability projects to creative problem-solving activities, our students engage with topics that matter to their future. By working on hands-on projects, they develop critical thinking and collaboration skills and gain a deep appreciation for the world they’ll one day help shape.
