Observation-Based Play Group: Young Babies

This is a RIE-inspired play group for young babies (pre-mobile or just starting to move). It's an opportunity to practice the RIE respectful approach and build community and support with other parents who share a similar philosophy.

If you'd like to learn more about what to expect, you can check out information about how classes are held on the RIE website: https://rie.org/parent-infant-guidance-class/

We will meet at Ted Lechowitz woods in the grassy area under the trees. It may still be a bit chilly, so please dress warmly as the play groups meet entirely outdoors. I will have blankets and object set out for babies to interact with, if they choose.

I will be starting a weekly observation-based play group (RIE-inspired parent-child classes) that will run as a 4-week series. I haven't officially launched the groups yet but I'm going to be doing a trial run to work out any logistical kinks. This will be a trial run of the groups that will launch soon.

This play group immediately follows a play group for older kids so that, if you have older kids, you could bring them along and attend both groups. We will also stay for a picnic lunch in the park following the class if you'd like to join us.

Note - I have a 4 month old baby and a 6 year old so will have someone there helping me to attend to them. I may need to step away to feed or attend to the baby.
