Reggio-inspired preschool and emerging elementary program

Children playing outside in a garden or yard, surrounded by wooden crates, planters, and playground equipment, with some climbing and exploring.

Ample time to explore the outdoors

Blossom Heights School students spend at least half of their day outside playing. Children are able to climb, dig, build, run, jump, and take time to ground themselves and connect with the Earth. Extended outdoor play also offers them the chance to deepen their play uninterrupted furthering their social development, in addition to their motor development.

Meeting children’s natural curiosity

Our teachers use the children in their classroom as guides to their teaching. Classroom provocations are set up and changed throughout the year based on teacher observations of the children’s interests, inquiries, and abilities. Teachers also use these interests as inviting ways to engage children in math, science, literacy skills, motor development, and more.

Multi-sensorial engaging environments

Our indoor and outdoor spaces are filled with materials ready to engage children’s senses. From loose parts to build, count, and manipulate to our lush gardens to explore, each corner of our campus is thoughtfully curated to offer a plethora of ways for children to discover and connect with the world around them.
