Accompanying Episode 3 of the Atelier Podcast

We believe that early childhood is not a waiting room for life- it is life, and everything we do, from our environments to our relationships, reflects that belief. So, what makes Atelier... Atelier? From enabling environments to reflective practice, from pedagogical leadership to the art of listening, we’ll explore how our decisions support children to thrive — not just now, but far into the future.
