Blue Lotus Nature School

About this program

Blue Lotus Nature School is a secular, nature-based educational program serving PreK through elementary students across North San Diego and South Riverside counties in California. Founded in 2018 by Stacie, who was inspired by her daughter's transformative experience in outdoor education, the school has grown from a small community program into a well-established model for nature-integrated early education. The school operates from two primary locations: a licensed California childcare facility at their Fallbrook barn (CCLD #374845007) and an enrichment center in Temecula Wine Country. Additional programming takes place at various parks including Guajome Regional Park in Oceanside, Live Oak Park in Fallbrook, and Canyonside Park in Rancho Penasquitos. The mission centers on nurturing children as individuals while deepening their sense of connectedness to both nature and humanity. Classes meet daily, rain or shine, embracing all weather conditions as part of the outdoor learning experience.
