School Notes

  • At L`Atelier School, creativity is seen as an innate intelligence, which we believe connects all the diverse ways of learning of human beings.
  • Children achieve their inherent right to reach their potential, happiness and success in our school, developing in collaboration with adults a new culture of childhood and education.
  • L`Atelier Preschool was conceived in Miami in 1995, from the belief that children are born with innate creative potential and curiosity to learn. They are eager to understand the world and construct their own theories about how it functions. The educators in Reggio Emilia inspired us to envision a new concept of school. Their strong Image of the Child and their innovative approach to education- renown in the world as the best early childhood approach- proposes to rethink the meaning of the word to educate. It derives from the Latin word"ex-ducere"which offers the concept that knowledge deserves to be brought out instead of filled in. L`Atelier Preschool develops its unique identity becoming an Atelier with a School inside. For the past 23 years, the faculty of the school has been researching the meaning and relationship between teaching and learning. A strong and continuous investment in professional development focuses on studying connections between contextual curriculum and creative learning. The pedagogy of listening brings the fundamental values that sustain our work. It becomes the ongoing attitude that takes us to analyze how the construction of knowledge takes place in reference to the different learning styles, the diverse languages of expression, the intelligent environments and the projections and analysis of children`s and adult`s work. Assessment derives from our research and fosters evolution and innovation of our school. Learning takes place when ideas, concepts and theories are shared in a social context. It is through human relations that all intelligences sprout. The awareness of these diverse styles gives birth to a common conscious creative learning. At L`Atelier Preschool, creativity is seen as innate intelligence, which connects all the diverse ways of thinking of human beings. Therefore, it enables them to achieve their inherent right of potential, happiness, and success.
