School Year

Dodge Nature Preschool is a 4-Star Parent Aware rated preschool. Families who meet eligibility requirements could receive a Minnesota Pathway 1 Early Learning Scholarship of up to $20,716.80 per year for tuition.

All families applying for a Dodge Nature Preschool scholarship should also apply for a Pathway I Early Learning Scholarship.

Dodge Nature Preschool accepts families that participate in the Child Care Assistance Program (CCAP).

This program helps pay for quality childcare while you work, look for a job, go to school, or participate in activities within an employment plan. Parents, stepparents, legal guardians, and other eligible caregivers can receive child care assistance if they meet income limits and all other requirements.

A scholarship fund may be available to families who need assistance with part-day class tuition*. This may be ongoing support or temporary help due to a change in circumstances for a family. A new request for scholarship will need to be made for each school year or summer program. Scholarship awards are granted to families who qualify until scholarship funds are no longer available. Early application is recommended.

Please note: The scholarship application is not the application for enrollment. You must also submit an enrollment application.

*Funds are limited and only apply to part-day class tuition, not to bunch programs or to the afternoon portion of full-day classes.
