Professional Development for Teachers

At Branches Atelier, we believe that inspired teachers create inspirational classrooms. Our goal is to cultivate excellent, challenging learning environments where children can thrive and grow. To achieve this, we recognize the importance of investing in our educators through high-quality continuous professional development opportunities.

Community Professional Development Initiatives

Our commitment extends beyond our classrooms and campus; we are passionate about sharing our knowledge and practices with educators across the United States and abroad..

Emergency Support Fund

At Branches Atelier, we believe in fostering a nurturing environment for our families and staff. Unfortunately, life can present unexpected challenges that put a strain on our community members. Our Emergency Fund is dedicated to providing financial assistance in times of crisis, whether that be through tuition support or other forms of aid.

Empowering Teachers to Flourish

Our teachers the ones who bring the magic to our school. And when we invest in their growth, the ripple effects are incredible.

Scholarships and Financial Aid

At Branches, we firmly believe that every child deserves access to excellent preschool education, regardless of financial circumstances. Our mission is to ensure that no child is excluded from the opportunities that quality early childhood education provides.

Parent and Family Education

We believe that equipping parents with the right tools and knowledge can lead to healthier family dynamics and stronger communities. To enhance our offerings, we plan to invite guest speakers who are experts in various fields of parenting, child development, and family wellness. These workshops will cover a range of topics, from effective communication and discipline strategies to mental health and well-being.
