Blue Skies Exploration Academy is the only free standing Reggio Emilia influenced early learning center in Colorado Springs. We are delighted to be the first center in Colorado Springs to bring the Reggio Emilia philosophy to this vibrant city. The Reggio Emilia philosophy is a dynamic early childhood philosophy developed in Reggio Emilia, Italy as the country re-built itself after World War Two.

*Reggio Emilia inspired exploratory learning for children 6 weeks to 6 years.

*A warm and nurturing child care center partnering with parents, children, and our natural surroundings to develop life-long learners and explorers.

*Strong focus on learning pre-academic skills through exploration projects and working collaboratively with other children, adults and the environment.

*The Regiio Emilia philosophy combines the best of the Montessori, Waldorf and Play Based learning

The Reggio Emilia philosphy builds upon the work of Maria Montessori and Charles Waldorf as well as the other constructivist educational philosophers of the 19th and 20th centuries. It is a modern, reflective way of teaching and interacting with young children which combines the best qualities of Play-Based, Waldorf and Montessori methods into a socially and environmentally connected learning community.

At Blue Skies Exploration Academy, we are engaging the children, the teachers, the families and the environment to create a learning community which encourages critical thinking, social awareness and development, artistic and scientific growth, communication skills, pre-literacy skills, mathematics and creativity. We believe that every child is a competent little individual with incredible potential. It is our hope to inspire each child to open his/her mind and become a life-long learner and creative, independent thinker.

Just as we know children need the right cognitive stimulation to grow into capable, caring adults they need also need the right foods to support that growth. With that in mind we have contracted with Revolution Foods to supply all of our meals. They provide healthy, organic, mostly local foods. They promise not to make anything with trans fat or high fructose corn syrup. They also provide fresh fruit with breakfast and lunch. We are excited to be partnering with them to help ensure that all of our children receive the highest quality educational and food environment we can provide.
