As a RIE® Associate, I’m thrilled to welcome families to my RIE® Parent-Infant Guidance™ classroom, designed to be a warm, inviting space where parents and caregivers can learn alongside their little ones. Through the RIE® Educaring® Approach, you’ll develop a framework to build a strong, respectful relationship with your child, understand their cues, and confidently support their growth during these formative years.

    Want to learn about the RIE® Educaring® Approach while building community alongside other families? In these weekly 90-minute in-person classes, parents observe, reflect, and engage with their child in a supportive, respectful environment while learning together about how to apply the RIE® Educaring® Approach, guided by the facilitating RIE® Associate.

    These classes are designed for families with children aged 3 months to 2 years. Classes are cohorted by age to ensure that each child is in an environment with peers at a similar stage of development, which supports meaningful observation, learning, and social interaction. We typically aim to keep the age span no more than 5 months between the oldest and youngest children, with 8 families being the maximum per cohort. Cohorts are ongoing, typically until the youngest child in the group turns two. That being said, families can un-enroll at any time, though we typically recommend attending for a minimum of 8 weeks to begin to experience the benefits of the RIE® Approach.

    Standard tuition for classes is $225/month per child*

    *If you'd like to contribute to the Parenting Resources Scholarship Fund, which helps families who cannot afford standard tuition, your support is greatly appreciated. 💖 Contributions go directly to helping families access these classes. Please reach out to me through the contact page to make a contribution.

Simply let me know and we'll make it happen. If you have friends with children in the same age range, enroll together, and we can create a new cohort! Each cohort requires at least two families to begin. Ideally, the age range for each cohort does not exceed 5 months between the youngest and oldest children.
