Our curriculum includes activities that encourage independence, social cooperation, and an acceptance of self. This will be achieved through experimenting, exploring, and manipulating materials that are developmentally based and sequentially structured. Keeping in mind that the Penguin and Dolphin Programs operate at different levels, the Wonderland goals for both of these programs are:</div> <div> <TABLE BORDER="0" CELLPADDING="2" CELLSPACING="1" WIDTH="635" BORDERCOLORLIGHT="#C0C0C0" BORDERCOLORDARK="#808080" FRAME="BOX" RULES="ALL" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" > <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 19 WIDTH="14"><div> p</div> </tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP><NOBR><div> Develop & demonstrate language skills necessary to communicate with peers & adults. </div> </NOBR></tD> </tR> <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 19 WIDTH="14"><div> p</div> </tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP WIDTH="610"><div> Develop & demonstrate growth in intellectual ability. </div> </tD> </tR> <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 19 WIDTH="14"><div> p</div> </tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP WIDTH="610"><div> Develop & demonstrate personal and social growth.</div> </tD> </tR> </TABLE></div> <div> <IMG BORDER="0" SRC="Symb075c002d00f000000000.png" HEIGHT="16" WIDTH="24" ALIGN="bottom" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">Develop  & maintain a positive self-image.</div> <div> <IMG BORDER="0" SRC="Symb075c002d00f000000000.png" HEIGHT="16" WIDTH="24" ALIGN="bottom" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">Develop & maintain independence and self-reliance.</div> <div> <IMG BORDER="0" SRC="Symb075c002d00f000000000.png" HEIGHT="16" WIDTH="24" ALIGN="bottom" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">Develop & maintain respect for others.</div> <div> <IMG BORDER="0" SRC="Symb075c002d00f000000000.png" HEIGHT="16" WIDTH="24" ALIGN="bottom" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">Assist the child to recognize and deal with feelings and emotions.</div> <bR> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> Preschool Programs</div> <bR> <div> <A HREF="id18.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Penguin Program"><U><B><U>Penguin Program</U></B></U></A></div> <bR> <div> <TABLE BORDER="0" CELLPADDING="2" CELLSPACING="1" WIDTH="182" BORDERCOLORLIGHT="#C0C0C0" BORDERCOLORDARK="#808080" FRAME="BOX" RULES="ALL" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" > <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 19 WIDTH="15"><div> p</div> </tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP WIDTH="156"><div> Ages Served: </div> </tD> </tR> </TABLE></div> <div> The Penguin Program is normally for children between the ages of 2 years 7 months old up to 4 years old as of August 31st of the start of the school year.  Our minimum age of 2 years 7 months is based on what is cognitively sound and our license from the PA Department of Education.</div> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <I><B>(Please click on the Penguin Program title above or in the window to the left to go to that page for more information.)</B></I></div> <bR> <div> <A HREF="id34.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Dolphin Program"><U><B><U>Dolphin Program</U></B></U></A></div> <bR> <div> <TABLE BORDER="0" CELLPADDING="2" CELLSPACING="1" WIDTH="204" BORDERCOLORLIGHT="#C0C0C0" BORDERCOLORDARK="#808080" FRAME="BOX" RULES="ALL" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" > <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 19 WIDTH="37"><div> p</div> </tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP WIDTH="156"><div> Ages Served: </div> </tD> </tR> </TABLE></div> <div> Generally speaking, the Dolphin Program is for children between 4 years old and 5 years old as of August 31st of the start of the school year.</div> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <I><B>(Please click on the Dolphin Program title above or in the window to the left to go to that page for more information.)</B></I></div> <bR> <div> <I><B>Copyright © 1991 - 2008 by Marilyn L.
