About Us

The Dolphin Club is a private, non-profit corporation founded in 1985 by Eastshore Elementary School Families.


The Dolphin Club is operated by a Board of Directors consisting of dedicated Dolphin Club Families interested in quality childcare.


The Dolphin Club is located on the campus of Eastshore Elementary School in Irvine.


We serve children from 4.9 thru 12 years old.


All of our staff have passed an extensive background check, are CPR and First Aid certified, and have at least 12 units of Early Childhood Education.

Our Philosophy

The Dolphin Club exists for the purpose of nurturing, supporting, promoting and enhancing all areas of your child’s development.


Our program serves as a bridge between home and school for the children in our community by providing a safe and stimulating environment that is home like and informal.


The Dolphin Club will meet the needs of the whole child by establishing partnerships with the children, their families, and the community.
