Find infant care that feels right.

Infant Atelier is a prepared studio and garden for one cohort of four children, cared for by Jess and Gillian. The daily ratio is 1:2.

We are planning for a Fall 2026 opening in Silver Lake, in a private location on the south end of the reservoir. Our California family child care license application is in progress. We are collecting waitlist inquiries only while that process is underway.

The founding cohort meets Tuesday–Thursday, 8 AM–4 PM, with continuity into toddlerhood as space allows. Tuition is $3,000/month.

Care needs Can your family reliably use the full Tuesday–Thursday, 8 AM–4 PM schedule? What are you hoping care will feel like for your child and family?

Acknowledgment

I understand this is a waitlist inquiry, not an enrollment agreement, and that the founding program is Tues–Thurs, 8 AM–4 PM, at $3,000/month. No care, enrollment agreement, or payment will begin before a California family child care license is issued.

This takes about three minutes. It’s an introduction, not a commitment to enroll.

A quick fit check.

Tuition

$3,000/month, guaranteed for the first 12 months of enrollment for founding families.

Planned schedule

Planned for Fall 2026, pending licensure. One stable Tuesday–Thursday cohort, 8 AM–4 PM, with continuity into toddlerhood as space allows.

Location and licensing

We expect to open in Silver Lake, in a private location on the south end of the reservoir. The studio, quiet sleep room, and outdoor terrace are in a separate, purpose-prepared unit, with a bathroom that includes a Montessori-style potty-learning area and a toddler handwashing station. Our California family child care license application is in progress. No care, enrollment agreement, or payment will begin before a license is issued.

Commitment

Enrollment is structured quarterly and billed monthly. When possible, we recommend a 6+ month commitment for relationship continuity.

What happens next

Jess reads your note and reaches out if the timing, availability, and fit may align. Formal offers, paperwork, and payment come only after licensure.
