Dolphin's preschool program contains three classrooms with children's ages ranging from 3 years to 6 years. Our preschool classrooms provide a fun, nurturing and adventurous place where the children learn through exploring, questioning, discussing and contributing. The children also learn about emotions, self-governance, and social problem solving as their individual abilities and talents begin to emerge.
