Mini-Atelieristas

Ages: 1-4 + grownup

Through the use of a wide range of materials (clay, paint, light & shadow, natural materials, etc.) Downtown Atelier’s space allows for open-ended sensory exploration. Their goals are for children to build independence and make discoveries by freely exploring beautiful provocations. Downtown Atelier celebrates curiosity and imagination, nurturing the process of creation rather than focusing on the outcome.

They are a semester based program, but do offer trials! By holding semester long classes their goal is to build a consistent classroom community which allows the children to become familiar and comfortable with the faces and materials in their space. These classes are designed to support and ease children’s transitions to preschool by helping them develop essential social, emotional, and cognitive skills, easing their adjustment to a new environment, and fostering a sense of confidence and independence as they begin this important stage of their education.
