You must give written consent for anyone other than you, the parents, to pick up your child. Please use the Atelier Preescolar Enrollment form to inform us who has permission to pick up your child. Children will only be released to a parent or a person designated by the parent/guardian after verification of ID.

We believe in “positive discipline,” which focuses on good behavior rather than bad, and follow the guidelines for developmentally appropriate practices set by the National Association for the Education of Children (NAEYC). While some behaviors are typical for a specific “age and stage,” we recognize that children learn appropriate social behaviors at different rates. With that in mind, we observe and make individual behavior plans when necessary. As children get older, we encourage them to resolve conflicts on their own, building social skills and self- confidence in difficult, emotional situations.

Biting is a natural developmental stage that many children go through. It is usually a temporary condition that is most common between thirteen and twenty-four months of age. The safety of the children at the center is our primary concern. If an occurrence happens more than one time in one day the parent will be called to pick up the biting child. The child may return the following school day. If it is deemed in the best interest of the child, the center, and the other children, the child may be terminated from program enrollment for the duration of the biting stage. Written warning will be given to the parents before this action will be taken and no refunds will be given. 

Students do not watch television or any other electronic device at Atelier Preescolar.

 As a Spanish immersion school, our goal is to fully immerse your child in the language, therefore no English will be spoken except in emergency situations. Children will learn Spanish just as they did their first language, through imitation and visual signals. While learning a second language it is common that students use their primary language to communicate to other students, they will be encouraged to use Spanish at school. Communication with parents will be in English.

No prior exposure or knowledge of Spanish is required by children or parents, but we do welcome those with prior knowledge of Spanish.
