Blue Lotus Nature School 
Philosophy

At Blue Lotus Nature Preschool, we strive to educate the whole child using a Reggio Emilia approach based on the principles of respect, responsibility, and community.  The blue lotus represents common sense; the use of wisdom and logic to create enlightenment.

Blue Lotus students learn through daily exploration and discovery in a supportive and enriching natural outdoor environment.

​​

We learn through play with each other and our animals, practical work in our gardens and barn, and creative projects in nature and in our art studio.

​​

• Movement - dance, parkour, and yoga
