Welcome To The Atelier

An Atelier is a place of creativity, exploration, experimentation and investigation. More than just an art room, the Atelier is a space where children are given freedom of choice to explore a variety of art mediums, from visual materials such as paint or clays to more experiential forms of art, such as sound and light. In the Reggio Emilia philosophy, each of these different mediums are referred to as "languages", of which children have over a hundred. The more languages a child is able to develop, the better their ability to think creatively to solve problems. Here at The Village we know how important it is to child development and well-being that students are given the tools to foster their creative thinking and curiosities so we are thrilled to be able to offer this experience to our families. While creativity is supported in all of our classrooms, students in our Young Preschool classroom and above also have the opportunity of visiting our Atelier on a weekly basis.
At The Village Early Learning Center, our core values focus on creating a warm and supportive atmosphere where every child feels valued and motivated to learn. We prioritize safety, respect, and inclusivity, welcoming and encouraging each child to thrive, regardless of their background.

My son is in the late 2’s class, and I cannot express enough how much we love our teachers. My son previously had issues at other daycares with crying/aggressive behavior, and the teachers in his class have made all the difference. Every day, without fail, these teachers greet us smiling and welcoming. Every day I pick up my son he is happy. They are structured, children are engaged, they provide a ton of feedback on how your child’s day went, and they have been very flexible with our schedule changes. I truly cannot ask for more out of a daycare.

ETA: This was 6 years ago and I cannot say the same thing about the facility the last few years after we left last fall. The new admin and corporate owners are not even a shell of what it use to be. We left the facility

Our family loves The Village Early Learning Center. We’ve had 2 kids enrolled at their facility and had a wonderful experience. The facilities are clean, safe and the staff is amazing! They are nurturing and have always created a warm and welcoming environment. They focus on each child’s individual needs and foster a love for learning through engaging activities.

Both of our kids have flourished here—developing social skills, creativity, and confidence. The curriculum is well-rounded, incorporating play-based learning, arts, and outdoor exploration. I appreciate the regular communication from teachers, who keep us updated on our child’s progress and daily experiences.

It’s clear that the staff genuinely care about the children and their development.
I highly recommend this facility to any parent looking for a nurturing, enriching environment for their little ones!

Our son is in his second year attending the Village (preschool and now VPK) and he loves it so much! The teachers are wonderful and it is clear that they love what they do. The curriculum is extremely engaging and they are so hands on, with things like baking, gardening, and field trips. The lines of communication are great and we get pictures and notes often of what they are working on each day. My son always says school is “awesome” and has made so many friends. We are so thankful for the Village!

My daughters have been going to the Village since 2018. My youngest is in vpk there now. When my oldest was there, I was diagnosed with cancer and was severely immunocompromised. My doctor advised me not to send her to school anymore but I took the risk, knowing she NEEDED the school and teachers she had grown to love. I’m so glad I took that risk. Her teachers gave her so much love and support that they quickly became like family to us. I had sent them to other daycares prior to the Village but none compared. We tried 3 other daycares in the area and they all had a big problem with teacher turnover. The other schools also had all of the “newest things” and “bells and whistles” but lacked in growing and developing the whole child. I am a teacher myself and I am not only blown away by the academic success both of my girls have experienced thanks to the Village, but I am also SO impressed with how they care and nurture the whole child. They are phenomenal at teaching social interactions, fostering friendships, dealing with emotions, teaching manners, and go the extra mile to make sure their students feel happy and secure. They are helping to raise polite, compassionate, empathetic, kind, AND smart little humans:) My third grader STILL talks about her preschool teacher from the Village! Both of my girls came home all the time excited about what they learned and did at school! They aren’t afraid to have these kids elbow deep in soil and science experiments and I love it! This is the best school I have ever encountered and I can’t say enough good things about it!

My son has been in attendance at The Village since he was an infant and absolutely loves it here. The teachers love their students like they are their own. He has had the opportunity to have the same teacher Ms. Renee since he was two years old and is absolutely in love with her! She has been a blessing to him and our family! I want to give a special shout out to Ms.Erika Garcia and Ms. Renee Love in VPK BC! This VPK experience has been nothing short of amazing! My son struggled over the summer when he no longer had his consistent teacher and they have knocked it out of the park! Thank you thank you thank you for all the Love, hard work and dedication you put into your students and families it truly shows!

Amazing Management! My child's school just closed with no notice and The Village was able to accept my two children in a one-year old and School Age. The Process was smooth from the tour to the registration. The staff and management really made me feel more calm as I was panicking. Thank you to Ms. Shay and Ms. Kayla.

The Village Early Leanring center is absolutely amazing. They’re very communicative, I get pictures throughout the day along with updates. It took me a very long time to find the right school for both me and my 7th month old and this was it! My baby has been here since he was 2 months old and every more he greats his teachers (aka best friends) with a giant smile.

My son absolutely loved their Summer ANTS Camp. So many fun activities and field trips. He looked forward to going every morning. It can be hard to find a summer camp for a fourth grader that they will actually enjoy but The Village has done this. Loved seeing the Spanish curriculum and the Culinary curriculum. Thank you!
