RIE® Parent-Infant Guidance Class™
For Baby — special time with mom or dad to explore, play, and interact with other infants
For Me — a time to relax and enjoy my baby, learn how to support my baby, and meet other new parents
In these classes, parents learn to use RIE’s Educaring® approach to help them:
- Read baby’s cues and attune to their needs
- Establish a firm foundation for your child’s emotional, social, physical and cognitive growth
- Set age-appropriate expectations for infants and toddlers
- Know what babies need from you and what you can trust to develop naturally
- Make the most of your time with baby — whether that’s all day long or nights and weekends
- Balance your child’s and your family’s needs — and your own — without guilt
- Learn to enjoy parenting even more
Classes are on-hold due to COVID 19.
For Baby and Me classes are informed by Magda Gerber’s groundbreaking Educaring® approach to being with infants and toddlers, sometimes known as “RIE®.” Educaring isn’t so much a philosophy as a framework that can work for parents of all stripes. It helps us “see infants with new eyes,” better understand infants’ capacities and needs, and meet them in a mindful, balanced way. Some people sum it up by saying that Educaring allows us to be fully present with our babies and conscious in our decision making. Jennifer is a fully-trained RIE® Associate. Let me help you see your infant in a new way, gain confidence and enjoy parenting even more.

“A respectful beginning is an investment in the future of the relationship between your child and you, your child and others, and in your child’s exploration of the world.”
— Magda Gerber, Resources for Infant Educarers® (RIE) Founder
