About the 5–7 Year Old Atelier

Our 5–7 Year Old Atelier lives inside a beautiful white cottage filled with natural light, calm learning spaces, and materials that invite curiosity and creativity. Just across the street, a newly renovated 7 acre park becomes an extension of the classroom where children move, explore, imagine, and connect with the world around them.

​

Children build strong foundations in reading, writing, and math through hands on learning, meaningful projects, and guided discovery. Play and joy are essential to our approach. We believe children learn best when they feel safe, engaged, and excited to come to school. Inspired by Montessori and Reggio Emilia, our work honors curiosity, independence, and the natural rhythms of early childhood.
