Welcome to Northern Dutchess Day Care
Early Learning in Nature
Northern Dutchess Daycare Center is a Nature Preschool nestled against Ferncliff Forest, a 200-acre old growth forest preserve that provides an ever-changing landscape for our immersive Nature Program. Focus is on fostering children’s curiosity, independence, and connection to the natural environment through play, exploration, and hands-on activities in indoor and outdoor settings.
EARLY LEARNING PROGRAMS
(18 months through 5 years)
Our tapestry of early learning includes Reggio Emilia child led art experiences, loose parts labs, and our Montessori style Mixed Age PreK. We believe that learning is all around us and the opportunities for your child’s holistic growth and development never stop. Full time and part time placements are available. A child may be enrolled at any time during the year, depending on space.
