DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAGONFLIES PROGRAM
The Dragonfl ies program is the last preschool class before they go to the Pre-K class. Throughout their school day, these students will receive the benefi t of increased quality of individualized attention. As these students begin to shift their socialization from parallel play to more cooperative, the teachers in this classroom support this growth with ample open-ended play options. These students build on their existing social skills through small group discussions and creative group design projects and additional opportunities for messy play. These activities offer students the chance to practice exchanging ideas, empathizing with others, and designing their play environment together. Additionally, the teachers who lead this group of learners take an adaptive approach to regularly redesigning the Dragonfl y play spaces to support every student in reaching their next developmental milestones. Every child grows in their own way and in their own time, yet by the time a child completes the Dragonfly class, they should demonstrate significant growth in the following areas:

Your Dragonfly learner will…

• understanding the love God has for them and that they can pray anytime and anywhere.
