In January 2006, DPNC opened the first nature-based preschool in the region.  Our program uses the Nature Center's 350-acre nature sanctuary as a "living classroom" where children can develop cognitive, social, and emotional skills.  Our curriculum is a comprehensive blend of environmental education and traditional, play-based preschool standards.  

We are accepting enrollments for children ages 3 to 5. Children may attend Monday-Wednesday-Friday, Tuesday-Thursday or all five days Monday through Friday. There is a flexible drop-off time of 8:30 to 9, and pick-up from 12-12:30. September enrollments will be starting in February, and children must be 2.9 to 5 years old.
