Welcome Title to go here

Situated on a 110 acre area of the 320 acre Dodge Nature Center, the Dodge Nature Preschool brings the natural world into the lives of young children. With the beauty of prairies, ponds, and woodland trails as a backdrop, children will explore and create using a variety of sensory-rich art media. They regularly visit the 40 acre model farm where barnyard animals provide stimulating opportunities for learning and growth. Children will have the opportunity to plan and care for garden plots, explore the prairie and its wildlife, and look for signs of plant and insect life in the ponds. Dodge Nature Preschool uses the inherent wonder, complexity, and beauty of the natural world as a catalyst for children’s growth and development.
