Life at Blumen

More than lessons

Festivals, national days, green days and the ordinary happy business of a preschool morning. This is what a term actually looks like.

Festivals & national days

Celebrating together

Independence Day at Blumen — flags, salutes, hand-painted tricolours and a great deal of pride.

Green & Earth days

Learning to look after things

World Earth Day, Green Day and a lot of paint — small hands making the point better than a lesson could.
