I am an employee

We are under new management! Ms. Jc is a wonderful person to work for! She keeps the school clean, is big into educating your children, and is strict but fair. I am so much happier working under her management. The staff is dependable and teachers are motivated to teach! I would Highly Recommend This Place!

I have used this provider for more than 6 months

I can’t say enough good things about Dolphin Preparatory Academy. My now 2 year old has been attending over a year now and under the new management he has learned so much! They have an education system set up now and it definitely shows. The owner and employees are so friendly and treat my son as if he was their own. I’m always greeted with a smile and a progress report for the day. I would definitely recommend this place!
