Dolphins (Three-year-olds)
The Dolphin-age child is ready for a safe environment where they have many adult-supported opportunities to practice being a part of a social group. With a strong focus on social skills, children learn to take turns, to listen to each other's ideas, and to work together towards a common goal. The Dolphin class learns the beginnings of Project Work, or in-depth studies that stem from the children's interests and pursuits, and which reflect their development. Children learn about themselves, each other, and the world around them by asking questions and learning how to find answers. They begin to represent their thoughts and ideas through dramatic play, music, drawing and painting, and language activities. The children's learning is enhanced with respect and support from teachers and parents. The environment is planned for learning, and adults closely observe the discoveries that unfold for the children.
