At Dodge Nature Preschool, we value spontaneity in activity and take advantage of the “teachable moment.” We also know that many people, especially young children first experiencing regular activity away from home, benefit from knowing what will happen next. We maintain a flexible schedule, with predictable events throughout the day such as snack and group experiences, to give children the security of routine.
We have well-furnished outdoor and indoor classrooms. While we spend the majority of time in our outdoor classrooms, our schedule can be adapted for indoors or outdoors to best meet the needs of the children in each class.
