Dodge Nature Preschool Learning Conference

  • Friday, Apr. 24th, 2020
  • 8:30 a.m. - 4:00 p.m.

Thank you for the interest in our event. Based on the current situation regarding COVID-19 in the state and the recommendations by the governor, we have decided to cancel our conference this year.

If you had already registered, we will transfer your registration to our 2021 conference next April (more details to come in a few months once we finalize our 2020-2021 calendar). In the meantime, we may be hosting a few shorter digital trainings and will let you know about those.

If you have any questions or support you need, please contact the Preschool at preschool@dodgenaturecenter.org.
