Land Acknowledgement
Apple Blossom is located in Mni Sota Makoce (Minnesota), the traditional homeland of the Ojibwa (Anishinaabe) and the Dakota (Sioux) People. We express gratitude and appreciation for this land, and we honor the Dakota and Ojibwa People as its original protectors.
Our Nature School offers Outdoor Immersion all school year with winterized yurts as classrooms.
Why did we purchase Authentic Mongolian yurts?
Mostly natural and organic materials
It’s more comfortable : with its unique construction and material, the yurt naturally breathes.
Easy to move and install
It has a spirit!
It is so wonderfully decorated, – it’s a hand made work of art. Nothing beats the felt for insulating this compact structure. It keeps it warm in the Winter, but maintains it cool in the Summer.
More energy efficient!
Apple Blossom is committed to a learning environment of respect, honesty, and inclusion that celebrates differences beginning in Early Childhood. Our vision and purpose promotes the importance of diversity and inclusivity through world language and culture, and an anti-bias curriculum that grows and deepens as the children grow. It is our goal that each child will feel connected to their own culture and traditions, and that all children and families will feel honored and respected. We stand firm in our commitment to offer learning in an atmosphere of love, trust, and respect for all people. Please support our work and help us become more accessible by donating.
