Application Procedure
To enroll your child at Dodge Nature Preschool, please complete an application form and submit it with a $75 non-refundable application fee. The application fee includes a one year membership to Dodge Nature Center starting September, 2012.
A new application for enrollment must be made each school year, including families that are presently on a wait list. Currently enrolled and returning families are given priority in placement. After these placements are made, new families are placed. In addition, placements are made in consideration of optimal learning conditions, such as class balance of gender, age, and diversity. An effort will be made to grant first requests for days and times.
A non-refunable deposit holds placement and will be applied to the May 2013 tuition only. This deposit is non-refundable regardless of child's attendance.
If you have questions regarding the application process, please contact Anita Yang by e-mail, call 651.455.4555, or stop by the front desk.
