Dolphins - English class for preschool children from 5-6 years

Class for children in the last year of their attendance to kindergarten - preschoolers. In the dolphin class, children develop their skills and abilities in a stimulating and safe environment. They are guided in their education by a Czech class teacher and two English-speaking language assistants. Teachers use the tried and modern Start Together, Mensa NTC and Good Start methods. The classroom includes a variety of motivating games, puzzles, musical instruments and sensomotor aids. Preschoolers develop in the areas of reasoning, graphomotor skills, reading and mathematical pre-literacy or socio-emotional maturity. They also learn the English language in a natural way.    

Preschoolers work with an extra set of four workbooks Preschooler's weekly journals for clever little minds aimed at the development of graphomotor skills, practical life skills, physical fitness and head tasks.
