Karen’s RIE Parent - Infant Guidance Classes span 1 ½ hours and offer individualized attention to both parents and babies, from 2 months-2 ½ years old. Sensitive observation of the babies at play is followed by questions and discussion to help you learn about:

• Respecting and enjoying the individuality of each baby.
• Trusting your child to be an initiator, an explorer and a self-learner.
• Providing a safe, challenging and emotionally nurturing environment.
• Acknowledging and respecting your baby’s feelings and your own.
• Consistent, clearly defined limits and expectations to develop discipline.

The goals and objectives of Karen's  RIE Parent-Infant Guidance Classes are: 

• To present the philosophy gradually by practical demonstration and discussion.
• To model behavior and attitudes that we consider desirable.
• To help the parent develop powers of observation necessary to see and understand what their baby is doing and how he is learning as he plays.
• To assist on a practical and philosophical level as the parents grow into their role.
• To encourage the valuable exchange of ideas and information among parents.

Classes take place in eight-week sessions and are limited to seven infants and their parents.
