This is an ongoing play group for babies (pre-mobile to early mobile babies). We meet every Monday at Ted Lechowicz Woods.

[Observation-Based Play Groups](https://rie.org/parent-infant-guidance-class/) are based on the [RIE®](https://rie.org/) philosophy developed by [Magda Gerber](https://magdagerber.org/) as well as the work of Emmi Pikler. The goal of these play groups is to provide a space for parents to observe and learn about their child’s unfolding development, see the RIE Educaring® approach in practice and build community with like-minded families.
These classes provide an opportunity to explore respectful parenting practices through observation and discussion in a relaxed and safe environment.

# Topics Explored

* Gaining knowledge through observation.
* The importance of allowing children to move freely and develop at their own pace.
* The benefits of allowing uninterrupted playtime.
* How clearly defined limits and expectations support the relationship.

$100/4-week series.
