L’Atelier was originally conceived as an art workshop for children. The word atelier, which derives from the French language, means work room or artist studio. Historically ateliers served not only as a place where seamstress, carpenters, painters, sculptors and other artists could create their artwork, but also as a place where people could spend time thinking and getting inspired.

In 1997 we built our first Campus in South Miami with two classrooms ( the Nido, and the 3's,4's &5's), a Plaza, an Atelier, a Water lab, a Kitchen and an office. In 2004 we opened a classroom for infants. In that way we reached our full capacity of 75 families. We offer full and part time programs fro children 3 months to 5 years old.

Since year 2000 L'Atelier developed a strong collaboration with the educators from Reggio Emilia, Italy. Amelia Gambetti is our consultant and visits the school once or twice a year. More
