About L'Atelier for Children

ABOUT US

At L’Atelier, our tailored curriculum is designed to meet the unique learning and development needs of children aged 2 to 5 years, providing them with a safe, caring, and creative environment. As an approved Preschool, we are committed to the provision of the Childcare Benefit, ensuring quality early education for all families.

OUR STORY

L’Atelier, derived from the French word meaning "studio" or "workshop," is a place where children can explore, create, dream, play, and build. Inspired by the Reggio Emilia approach from Italy, our environment places the studio at the heart of the children's experience. Here, children develop skills that allow them to explore and express their ideas and interests through various mediums.

OUR PHILOSOPHY

  • Nurture Exploration: We encourage children to explore, create, wonder, and grow in a safe and caring environment.
  • Holistic Care: Our approach is flexible and responsive to the needs of each child, their family, our staff, and the community.
  • Inclusive Learning: We provide a learning environment where children feel safe, secure, and accepted without prejudice.
  • Family Partnerships: We respect the values and beliefs of all families and recognize the primary role of parents/guardians as caregivers.
  • Play-Based Learning: We offer play experiences that enhance decision-making, skill mastery, and self-discovery, focusing on the learning process and providing a range of challenging but achievable experiences.

OUR PROGRAM

Our programs are crafted, implemented, and evaluated by a highly qualified early childhood teacher who embraces the Reggio Emilia approach. This method encourages multi-modal inquiries, integrating language, mathematics, science, information technology, and sustainable development. Supported by specialist teachers and skilled assistants, our offerings include music, dance, art, and Italian, all set within sensory-rich environments designed to stimulate curiosity and wonder.

We believe in the importance of both indoor and outdoor learning experiences. Our play-based learning approach encourages children to connect with the natural environment, fostering their senses, curiosity, and a desire to protect our world. The use of natural materials and neutral colors in our settings promotes calm and open-ended creativity.

Exceptional Reggio inspired Preschool Experience! Enrolling our daughter in L’Atelier for Children preschool has been one of the best decisions we’ve ever made. From the moment we walked in, we were impressed by the warm, nurturing environment and the genuine passion of the teachers. The Reggio approach has truly empowered our daughter to explore, learn, and grow at their own pace. It’s incredible to see the independence, confidence, and curiosity that she has developed in such a short time. The hands-on, child-centered learning materials encourage creativity and critical thinking, and the structured yet flexible routines ensure every child’s individual needs are met. The teachers are not only highly skilled but also deeply caring and attentive. They take the time to understand each child’s unique strengths and challenges, fostering a sense of belonging and self-worth. We especially appreciate the emphasis on social-emotional learning and the strong sense of community among the children and staff. The school is impeccably maintained, with thoughtfully designed spaces that invite exploration and discovery. The outdoor spaces are exceptional giving children plenty of opportunities for physical activity and connection with nature. We’ve seen tremendous growth in our daughter’s language, motor, and social skills since starting here. The school also keeps parents well-informed and involved, providing regular weekly updates, photos, and insights into our child’s progress. If you’re looking for a preschool that inspires a lifelong love of learning and prioritizes the whole child, I wholeheartedly recommend L’Atelier. It’s a place where children truly thrive! Our daughter is about to commence kindy and we will truly miss this place.
