Summer

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.

*Please note: ALL scholarship funds have been given out for summer 2026. There are no Dodge Nature Preschool scholarship funds remaining.

A scholarship fund may be available to families who need assistance with part-day tuition. This may be ongoing support or temporary help due to a change in circumstances for a family. You must also submit a lottery application to be considered for the lottery. The scholarship application is separate from the lottery process.

A new request for a scholarship is required for each school year or summer program. Scholarships are granted to families who qualify until scholarship funds are no longer available. Funds are limited and only apply to part-day tuition, not extended afternoons or bunch program. Early application is recommended.
