Bringing Dolphins International’s Award Winning Preschool Program Online!

The prevailing situation due to Covid – 19 has forced schools to shut. Nevertheless, let us not allow our children’s academic life to be affected by these unprecedented times. Their young, curious and imaginative minds deserve quality learning.

Continuing our pursuit of providing holistic education, Dolphins International is starting Virtual Classes Online for Playgroup and Nursery for 2020 – 21.

Highlights of our virtual classroom program

WELCOME TO

DOLPHINS INTERNATIONAL PRESCHOOL & DAY - CARE

Located at Gorai 2, Borivali (west), our school is built upon a passion and commitment to creating a strong foundation for the all-round development of our students. We are known for providing quality education; be it academic, art, etiquette, social skills or cultural awareness. As children enter school life for the first time, they are made comfortable in a close – knit family atmosphere ideal for learning and discovery of their inborn talents.  

OUR PROGRAMS

Our curriculum for the Playgroup Program is centered around the principle of ‘learning by doing.’ To this end, we engage children in over 60 interesting hands – on activities to teach alphabets, numbers, objects, shapes, colors or even parts of the body. Jolly Phonics are started. Celebrations, picnics and a grand Annual Day function  is also held.

In the Nursery, children’s knowledge and skills are taken to an advanced level. In addition to hands – on activities, Jolly Phonics and field trips, writing is introduced. Our learning environment, involving play – based learning activities, art, celebrations, facilitating social awareness and cultural education; lays a sound foundation for the child’s next school.

We are well aware of how difficult it is to choose the best day – care for your child and we strive to ensure personal care, comfort and security in our premises. A warm and homely environment is provided along  with separate sleeping spaces and kitchenette where home – cooked, hygienically prepared food is served that is  strictly vegetarian.

LETTERS

We have seen a lot of progress and development in our child. He used to speak only in his mother tongue. But after joining Dolphins, he is able to understand and speak in English and Hindi, which made me very happy and surprised too. We have seen a lot of change in the way he communicates, respects elders and greets friends. The co – curricular activities in school have also helped him grow. The change in his attitude and body language is worth praising. He wasn’t so good at sports but because of you all he has improved a lot and gained a lot of confidence. The annual day celebrated at school was really memorable and impressive, it encouraged not only the students but also the parents. This was the foundation of his school life and you all have always lived up to our expectations.

The dedication and concern you show my child are beyond words. Thank you for being his teacher. My child is excited to wake up every day and prepare for school. Your smile and welcoming presence in school brightens up the mood of all kids in school. Thank you for allowing my child to be creative even if he does not always follow the work sheets. It is rare to see teachers appreciate a child’s individuality. My child is introduced to doing basic chores at home and your school activities really helped encourage them to clean up the mess in their room. In a world of prejudice and cultural boundaries, you have helped show the child the meaning of equality in a way kids understand. We really appreciate that.

Saee loved going to school! The unique thing about Dolphins is that they also involve parents in different types of activities. Teachers and staff are very polite, kind and supportive. I and Durva (my wife) admire Sir and Ma’am for their positive approach. Dolphins is like family to us.

We would like to thank Dolphins for all the hard work they have done to ensure that Yukta feels comfortable in school. The activities planned at Dolphins are so good, it helped our daughter believe that school is fun, which is so important. Actually even before the year started , we had heard good reviews about the school and its teachers. Our expectations were high and it is comforting to know that she is not only getting a good education but is happy at school as well. Our heartfelt thanks for making the Annual day such a memorable function. Indeed it was beyond our expectations and we enjoyed seeing Yukta perform

We have noticed many changes in our child with respect to speech, knowledge, extra curricular activities, learning and grasping power. As parents, we have enjoyed all the fun – filled activities conducted which gave us a chance to relive our childhood again. We would also like to appreciate the day – care staff members who are doing a great job of taking care of our princess and we are really happy to see Grisha enjoying her days in Dolphins. We wish we could continue her further studies with Dolphins and we will definitely miss you all.

As we come to the end of another beautiful year at Dolphins International School, we are sad that Manas will have to leave such an excellent institution. Apart from formal education, Dolphins has inculcated good habits and discipline in children which has prepared them for higher standards. Personal attention by Ma’am and Sir is complemented by the dedication of teachers which has developed confidence in children. We also appreciate the efficient services of the support staff. The entire year’s efforts were on display at the meticulously planned grand annual day function. The number of acts performed by the students, costumes, stage management and everyone’s performance was amazing. Enthusiastic participation by parents made the program “ours” rather than a school annual day. In the run up to the event, efforts put in by the entire Dolphins team is praiseworthy. Hats off!

Thank you for making my daughter’s first year at Dolphins positive, fun and happy. You provided her a place she loved coming to every day. We could never have made her love school like you did. Thanks for loving my child with all her ideas and mistakes and guiding her through the basics. As she moves to a higher grade, we know that we owe her sound grounding to you. She will not forget her most favorite Raji Ma’am and Raju Sir and neither will we. Your innovative ways of teaching have reaffirmed my faith in your institution. You have also taken a good initiative in involving parents in various activities as it gives us better insight to what our kids do and how they develop. Most importantly, thank you for loving my child like your own. As Tavisha says, Dolphins! Dolphins! Dolphins!

We are sincerely thankful to you for giving admission to Akshat in your school though he has a speech delay problem. When school started, Akshat wasn’t comfortable with other children but now he is, so we are very thankful to Raji Ma’am, Raju Sir, all teachers and support staff for this. The academic year was filled with fun activities such as Parents’ Day, Colours’ Day, Shapes’ Day, Fancy Dress Day, Fathers’ Cooking Competition, Traditional Day, the school Picnic, Field Trips etc. The Annual function was awesome and well organised. We are very happy that Akshat also participated in it. Thank you for understanding our difficulties and giving us guidance. All of you are good-natured, caring, understanding, hardworking and have taken a lot of effort. We wish Dolphins School all the very best. May it grow and achieve more milestones!

Where do we begin?….Probably before the school year even started. When we heard such nice things about your institute, we expected great things this year and trust me, we have not been disappointed! Thank you for making this school year a positive experience for my daughter Yashri. The enthusiasm you have brought to the environment on a daily basis has helped my child grow not only academically but socially as well. We understand how challenging it is to handle such young kids. To make them comfortable. To involve them in all activities. Your kindness and caring nature have inspired children to trust themselves. Good teachers like you are an asset to the school and society. You make a lot of difference to the lives of our little ones. We would also like to thank the teachers and the support staff. Thanks a lot from the bottom of our hearts. Keep rocking always!

We, the parents of Ovee Sanket Pise would like to express our gratitude to Dolphins International School. As a parent, I am heartened to see my child being guided and nurtured with positive attitude towards learning. Our daughter, Ovee, has shown immense growth not only in studies but also in extra curricular activities. Your entire  team of Dolphins, including your support staff have shown their love and concern for Ovee in all possible ways. We are fortunate to get such a good school with one of the best facilities of Day – care. The day – care service provided by Dolphins is also very good since children are in the hands of trained and experienced teachers, aunties and two special people (Raji Ma’am and Raju Sir). We are grateful to have you in our life.

Mr. and Mrs. Pise

Thank you for the beautiful start of my child’s journey. I still remember Sia’s first day of school. It was very difficult to leave her and go. But in some days I noticed a change in my child. She became attached  to all teachers and staff of Dolphins and especially “Raji Ma’am.” A big thank you to Raji Ma’am and all teachers for teaching my child everything eating, communicating, manners etc. It was great fun! Thank you

WHY US

Our emphasis on over – all development of children, activity – based training, while enhancing and encouraging social – interaction and cultural awareness defines our approach to learning. We introduce our students to a wide variety of play – based learning activities  specifically designed for developing fine motor skills like clay molding, puzzles, balancing. Educational field trips, celebrations of festivals and family days, picnics and participation in our eventful annual day helps to develop the child’s social interaction and cultural awareness. Sports and various competitions held throughout the year contributes to building their self – confidence and self – reliance.

The learning space provided to our students covers a holistic curriculum including alphabet, number, shape, color and object recognition, introduction to writing, numerous hands – on activities, phonics, field trips, various competitions and celebrations. They are also given a chance to substantiate their learning at the colorful Annual Day celebrations which also mark the first step on stage for many of our students. Such a broad scope of education makes the students confident of not only meeting but exceeding the criteria required to enter their next school.

At Dolphins International Preschool and Day – care, we are a close – knit family of mentors, teachers and students. We endeavor to make our children feel that school is their second home. We are fully aware of the trust you repose in us, and take all measures to ensure that the care, comfort and security we offer does not fall short of your expectations. In the day – care, we have one nanny for every two children, CCTV cameras and fully air – conditioned rooms. The premises are kept spotlessly clean. There are separate sleeping spaces and a kitchenette provided with strictly vegetarian food cooked at the home of our founders.

The role of a nutritive diet in a child’s growth cannot be emphasized enough. To this end, we provide balanced and healthy food that is delicious too! Our innovative menu comprises of such items as Mexican rice, Mini pizzas, Sprouts khichdi, yummy Parathas, Wheat laddoos and Multi – veg appams along with the more familiar favorites like Poha, Upma, Theplas and Pav – bhaji. Treats such as cookies and nankhatais are also served occasionally. Seasonal fresh fruits are given once a day.  We adhere to a consistent mealtime routine and serve strictly vegetarian food hygienically cooked at the home of our founders. 

We firmly believe that ‘learning by doing’ is the best way to retain knowledge. Our curriculum for Playgroup and Nursery is designed around this belief. To this end, we engage children in over 50 interesting hands – on activities year – round,  whether  it is learning alphabets, numbers, objects, shapes, colors or even parts of the body. For example they are taught basic principles of ‘clock – wise’ and ‘anti – clockwise’ by the simple method of opening and closing a bottle. Clay – modelling, puzzles and balancing are just a few other examples. This approach ensures that the lessons learnt are embedded in their impressionable and imaginative minds. When they go to higher classes they would remember the first lessons learnt through these play – based activities.
