🤝 des rencontres, des jeux, des explorations, des amitiés qui se créent
💛 un cadre aligné avec nos valeurs de liberté et de bienveillance

Un espace où les enfants peuvent être pleinement eux-mêmes, choisir, expérimenter, jouer, créer. Et où les adultes peuvent souffler, échanger, s’inspirer, s'entraider.

What if we explored consent and autonomy with our children… in real life?

This weekend, I’m excited to join a roundtable at the Unschooling Summit alongside inspiring voices from around the world.

A space to question, share, and reimagine how we support children (and ourselves) in more alive and aligned ways.

Have you ever heard of Peter Gray ?

He is one of our main references at Bloom Hills. His books and videos guide us in creating a joyful environment conducive to the healthy development of our children, filled with play and freedom.

Here are the six conditions that optimize children's self directed learning that inspire us:

1: Education is the child's responsibility.

2: Unlimited opportunities to play.

3: The opportunity to play with the tools of culture.

4: Access to a variety of caring adults who are helpers, not judges.

5: Free interaction between children of different ages.

6: Immersion in a stable, moral, and democratic community.

Already five families have taken the plunge and joined us. Two in January, one in February, one in March, and one planned for September. Lots of wonderful large families. Fourteen children of all ages, from 1 to 18!

All that in one month!

They come from Belgium, Austria, Germany, mainland France, and Corsica (yes, it's France, but with a fairly distinct culture!). So the dream of a multicultural space is becoming a reality.

There's even a family with six children who are seriously considering the option for mid-April, a mix of Greece and Scotland!

So there you have it, it's well and truly underway...

Déjà 5 familles ont sauté le pas pour nous rejoindre. 2 en janvier, 1 en février, 1 en mars et 1 prévue pour septembre. Plein de familles nombreuses ultra chouettes. 14 enfants de tous les âges de 1 a 18 ans !

Tout ça en 1 mois !

Elles viennent de Belgique, Autriche, Allemagne, France-metropole et Corse (c'est la France, oui, mais avec une culture assez distincte !). Donc le rêve d'un espace multiculturel est en train de devenir réalité.

Il y a meme une famille avec 6 enfants qui étudie sérieusement l'option pour mi-avril, mélange de Grèce et d'Écosse !

Donc voilà, c'est bel et bien lancé....

What is Bloom Hills ?
🫶 A Place for families to Live and Grow Together

It offers a warm and multicultural living environment where children of different ages can thrive through free play, independent learning, rich human relationships, and meaningful participation in daily life, with the support of attentive and passionate adults, without school structures or academic programs.
