Abstract
This article highlights the pedagogical potential of organizing atelier activities based on the Reggio approach to foster research skills in preschool-aged children. It analyzes aspects of the Reggio approach that focus on supporting child initiative, independent inquiry, experimentation, observation, questioning, and the expression of ideas through various mediums. The article outlines the organization of the atelier environment, the role of the educator, the methodology for the step-by-step development of children's research activities, and the expected outcomes.
