Nature PreK

Marshpoint Elementary and Oatland Island Wildlife Center are excited that your child is enrolled in the Nature PreK program at Oatland for the 2024-2025 school year! Important student information is listed below.​

We ask that you do not send Bug Spray or Sun Screen

Please apply these items prior to arriving for class each morning. If bug spray is necessary, we recommend spraying on clothing instead of skin.

Board of Education Policy states:

The parent is responsible for the application of sunscreen or insect repellent, because of the potential of over application and allergic reaction. Students should not be allowed to bring or apply these items at school or the same reasoning. Like other over-the-counter medication they have the potential of being abused or given to other causing illness.​ 

Please Note: Oatland Island is notorious for red bugs/chiggers. Avoid them by applying bug spray to under garments where elastic meets skin and on socks and shoes.​

Is the Nature PreK at Oatland Island open to anyone or can I book a field trip?
