The Bodhi Tree Vegan Nursery School, A Taste of Heaven

The Bodhi Tree Nursery, a Vegan Montessori School in London, UK, for pupils from18 months to 5 years old. Bodhi Tree Nursery not only focuses on the Montessori methods, but also develops kindness and compassion through exploring various spiritual teachings from around the world, including Buddhism. At the Bodhi Tree Nursery, Ms. Mediony prepares fresh vegan meals and snacks for the children every day. Each delicious home cooked meal is created from seasonal grains, fruits and vegetables, 90% of which are organic. No sugar is used, apart from a small amount of maple syrup. And the children happily help to grow, pick, and prepare some of the food. “We get them involved in the whole process of food and preparation of food. We introduce various vegetables and talk about the color, the shape.” Bodhi Tree Nursery not only teaches children using the Montessori Education Method, but it also incorporates positive philosophies, including veganism, in the program. “We were looking for a ‘home away from home’ environment; we’re pleased to say this was definitely the case.” “The food is mind blowing: home-cooked delicious, fresh vegan meals every day. Even the picnics were amazing!”
