Les Ateliers a Pitchou

I popped in here because I noticed that it was new and I was looking for gift ideas for my daughter’s birthday but I was taken completely by surprise when I went inside.
At first it looked like a cute store with a slant toward educational toys but then I noticed the BIG play room off to the side.
Les Ateliers opened this summer and as you would imagine, workshops (for parents and caregivers) are it’s focus.
The space is beautiful and offers everything from imaginative, sensory, building and active play. The workshops are scheduled by age and parents must accompany children.
They offered me a free trial coupon and otherwise you pay on a one off or membership basis. Workshops range from baby massage and sign language to music and preparing children for preschool.
If you’re a stay at home parent looking to socialize with other parents, a daycare worker looking to do an outing with the kids (they also offer free play times) or even just want to host your child’s birthday party somewhere– this would be a great place.
They only point that needs mentioning is that the staff and patrons (from what I can gather) are primarily Francophone so if you only speak English the language barrier might be an issue.
