Atelier Kids

As a current employee of Atelier Kids, it's my pleasure to rate the experience with glowing 5 stars. 
In the height of the Covid-19 pandemic, our team bound together tightly to ease into a new (but different) school year without any hiccups.
The Head of our school, our amazing Management team and our magnificent team of educators made the re-opening (after the gov't allowed us to open our doors) a streamlined pleasure.
The school originally opened its doors in Nov 2019 but sadly had to "hit the snooze button" due to Covid-19 in March 2020...but we are back stronger than ever. 
The educators that are on the team now are beyond belief and unshakeable.
As a veteran in the field, I can easily say Atelier Kids is THE school with THE work culture that ALL educators dream of.
We work as a true team, keeping our children safe and happy. 
The levels of mutual respect are undeniable.
The professionalism is palpable and our ability to communicate effectively with each other and our clients keep our days running smoothly.

Cannot wait to support our School Head with the launch of another school.


 

Atelier Kids offers a warm and welcoming work atmosphere. The environment, which is also considered the 'third teacher', has been carefully designed with inspiring features from a nurturing home and a modern school. The facilities are new with modern technologies, abundant natural light, and materials. The space enables you to fall in love at first sight, but the most important thing is not the building, or the appearance of the center, is the people who work there. The staff of the center translates into professionalism, respect and love for children. 

Atelier Kids culture involves knowing how to harmoniously collaborate with each other,  having an excellent work environment in which all of its workers are equally valued and respected. We have an open door policy that allows teachers, parents, and children to raise their concerns at any moment.

The most enjoyable part of being at Atelier Kids is its proximity to High Park. This enable us to connect with nature, and to bring learning outdoors and to create valuable connections with our community.

Working with Atelier Kids Early Learning & Care has been an amazing opportunity to collaborate with like-minded individuals who share the common goal of providing exceptional environment for early learning. Atelier Kids is not just a 'daycare' but truly is 'redefining early learning education' in Toronto. This Reggio-inspired centre encourages dialogue, creativity and collaboration amongst its staff of educators. Every person is valued for the contributions they make and are supported and encouraged through extensive professional development opportunities. It's an exceptional environment for those who are serious about childcare as a career, and not just as a 'job'.

Finding your niche as an educator can be a challenging task. With over 7 years of work experience in the child-care field, I have finally found a workplace where I am supported in every possible way by management and my team members. I have been given a wonderful professional development opportunity with comprehensive training in a Reggio curriculum, and am continuously provided with professional development opportunities to help build on this teaching philosophy. The Atelier Staff works in a cohesive team, and we support, guide, respect, and care for each other in a transparent and democratic environment. 

Thank you to the management team for always seeing the potential in me. 

Beautiful building and great philosophy. Parents and children are great. Staff were amazing. Amazing location. Professional development. Too good to be true? Yes. The mirage of a kind, supportive and positive work environment quickly faded. Opening last year in November, they already have a high staff turnover; nearly all those that were with the company on opening day have left the centre. The management, seemingly willfully, creates tension andd anxiety by not providing basic transparency, decency or respect towards staff, and choosing consistently to ignore staff concerns. They also expect you to regularly go above and beyond, outside of your scope of duties.

It's my first job after graduation, I also worked as a supply at many childcares and I have seen multiple working environment. I would say Atelier is an amazing team from top managment to the ECEs. Everyone is so supportive and so respectful of each other that it feels like a family. ECEs get a lot of support for programing and separate time for it, which is hard to find in this field. There are lot of opportunities to learn and professionally develop yourself. Its an amazing place to work and grow. 

Working in child care, the children often assume you live at school but Atelier really feels like home in a way that doesn't compare to anywhere else. The staff work together to share ideas and push each other to keep the image of the child at the forefront of our planning. The management team is open and welcoming whenever there is a need to reach out.On top of all that, the school is beautifully built in a thought-out way and surrounded by parks and quiet streets for adventures.

As an RECE and and OCT, I feel so fortunate to be part of a team and school that aligns with my personal philosophy.  Everything we do is about how we value children, how we connect with the community, and how the environment inside and outside inspires learning. It's a building full of engaged and unique educators! I am happy to bring my experience and passion for teaching and learning to Atelier Kids, and grateful for the team's support.

Atelier offers such a wonderful atmosphere for not only the families but also the employees. They have applied an open door policy to share our ideas and voice concerns. We have all the tools to perform our duties safely. The management team is extremely supportive and treat employees fairly. They continuously engage and ask for feedback to improve the internal processes to make a better workplace. I feel very proud to be part of an amazing team. 

The educators have a very positive attitude and the families are very supportive. The culture is fast paced, as with any childcare centre but it is collaborative. We rely on eachother to come up with solutions to problems that my arise. The managers are available to support educators along with permanent float staff to increase the number of teachers per child.
