Thank you for joining us for the grand opening of our Atelier Exhibition earlier this month. We were overwhelmed with gratitude for those who gathered to walk through the incredible gallery of work created by our young students and curated by Ms. Melanie, our Atelierista.
“Beautiful, creative, and priceless artworks! Art is so important to growth. Thanks for all you do to encourage creativity!” -excerpt from the Atelier Exhibition guest book
Our annual Atelier Exhibition is a valuable opportunity to share the incredible potential of early childhood education with our larger community. Throughout the week, we were able to share the work with our church community, preschool students and families, and educators from across Arizona including faculty from Northern Arizona University.
“What a poignant and stunning display of children’s creativity! It’s obvious a lot of hard work and love went into this Atelier. Thank you for instilling a love of art!” -current preschool family (excerpt from the Atelier Exhibition guest book)
As we approach our 30th anniversary in the fall, we are reinvigorated with our sense of purpose to provide high quality early learning opportunities and advocate for the rights of children and their families. Over the years, we’ve had the privilege to witness many of our students mature into young adults and we are honored to have played even a small part in their development.
“I loved seeing all the beautiful art in this exhibit. I remember being a gecko!!” -Alumni student graduating from high school this year (excerpt from the Atelier Exhibition guest book)
