Discover the Joy of Creativity!
Mini-Atelieristas
Our one hour toddler (1-3 year olds) and parent/caregiver class takes places in the NYC Seaport. Currently registering for Fall 2025.
Through the use of a wide range of materials (paint, clay, natural, light and shadow, etc) our studio space allows for open-ended art and sensory exploration. Our goals are for children to build independence and make discoveries by freely exploring beautiful provocations. We celebrate curiosity and imagination, nurturing the process of creation rather than focusing on the outcome.
We are a semester based program but do offer trials! Our goal is to build a consistent classroom community which allows the children to become familiar and comfortable with the faces and materials in our space. If you are interested in a trial class, please email us at DowntownAtelierNYC@gmail.com
Semester 1: September to January
Semester 2: February-June
Located inside The Peck Slip School.

Our one hour baby (7-14 months) and parent/caregiver class takes places in the NYC Seaport. Currently registering for Fall 2025.
Our baby class offers a thoughtfully scaled version of our Mini-Atelieristas class, designed to honor even the youngest child’s natural curiosity and innate desire to connect.
Rooted in the principles of the Reggio Emilia approach, this class welcomes babies and their caregivers into a carefully prepared environment where meaningful connection and taste-safe, sensory-rich exploration unfold at each child’s own pace. Each provocation is intentionally designed to invite investigation, spark curiosity, and support open-ended discovery.
