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.

    Our son attended L’Atelier in 2018-2020 and had the most magical, beneficial time and made friends he still has today, and they all still talk about, and reminisce fondly, their time at L’Atelier. So when our daughter was approaching 2 years old, we were so excited to become part of the L’Atelier family again! The centre is like a home away from home. The staff are so loving, kind and supportive. We truly could not ask for a better place for our children to be cared for in such a dynamic, exciting time of their lives. Thank you so much, Helen and your beautiful team. We are all very lucky to be part of your L’Atelier family!
