Where curiosity takes root
Welcome to Buddies in Bloom!
Muddy boots and messy hands are signs of a great day—and a growing mind.
We’re thrilled to welcome you to Buddies in Bloom, an outdoor, nature-based school in the heart of East Vancouver. We believe the best kind of learning happens outside, where curiosity leads the way and every season offers new adventures.
Our STEAM-based curriculum (Science, Technology, Engineering, the Arts and Mathematics) is rooted in the belief that every child can grow—from bud to bloom—through engaging, hands-on education inspired by the outdoors. We can’t wait to watch your child blossom, splash, and grow with us!
A Contemporary Approach to Outdoor Learning
Emphasis on Art & Science
We integrate STEAM into all our adventures, from building with natural materials to creating eco-conscious, nature-inspired art
Weekly Themed Adventures
Each week features a new nature-based theme that guides our activities, play, and learning. Children take home a craft or project each week.
Play-Based & Child-Centered
Our play-based approach encourages curiosity and creativity. We foster a safe, supportive environment where children’s emotional, physical, and behavioural needs are met, allowing them to freely explore.
