Branches Atelier is committed to creating high-quality, creative, dynamic, educational programs for children, families and educators. We are a social constructivist program, inspired by the Reggio Emilia approach to early childhood education.

Based on our fundamental belief that children learn best when their work is meaningful and in a social context, we integrate all areas of curriculum though short-term explorations and long-term project . Children are viewed as protagonists in their learning and are encouraged to work in collaboration with their peers to co-construct new theories and ideas.

Transitional Toddler Class

~ Transitional Toddler Program~

Friday Transitional Toddler Class  

The Friday toddler transitional class is designed for children aged 24 to 36 

months by September 1st of the school year. This class will be on Fridays 

from 9 am- 12 p.m. This program highlights children's first transitional 

experience into preschool, focusing on elements of the Reggio-Emilia 

approach. This program will occur outdoors and indoors in our beautiful 

Branches classrooms. Children will also have the opportunity to work in the 

ateliers with their teachers. 

This program offers the children the opportunity to:  

• Experience a flow of the day at Branches similar to a preschool class.  

• Explore an environment that fosters creativity, curiosity, 

the investigation, and imagination.  

• Engage in a fun, safe, and nurturing environment where children can 

build social connections with their peers and teachers.  

• Be part of an environment that promotes emotional literacy and 

problem-solving.  

• Deeply experience a wide range of expressive media: clay, 

watercolors, tempera and silk paints, light, collage and rhythm, 

movement with percussion and drums, dramatic play, and story and 

narratives.
