We are a warm and nurturing Reggio inspired preschool nestled in nature in the hills of Bel-Air, California. Our location, context, and internal and external environments allow children to express their natural curiosity and need to explore. Our environments are carefully designed to inspire our children to collaboratively construct and evolve their theories and understanding of their world.
Our intimate-nature based environment allows for passion and inquiry to lead the investigations rather than large numbers. The small number of children makes certain that everyone is seen as a vital member of our community of learners. Laila is the founder and teacher at Synapse Atelier. She holds a Bachelor's Degree from Loyola University Chicago and an Early Childhood Education (ECE) Certificate from Santa Monica College.

Approach
Report
Our name Synapse Atelier fuses together two ideas that are at the core of our learning philosophy. Atelier is a French word which means "studio" where artists create. This is symbolic of our second core belief that learning is the result of careful effort, free expression, and thoughtful reflection.

Admission
Report
Prospective families are invited to tour our preschool to learn more about our philosophy and experience the work of the children. Because we are dedicated to focusing our full attention to the children, we do not offer tours during preschool hours. We encourage you to bring your child to our tours so they may explore our preschool environment.
