the Educaring® Approach
Research shows that how we care for a baby influences their entire life in profound ways. RIE has helped thousands of parents and caregivers, in a wide variety of settings, foster the early attachments infants and toddlers need to carry them through life. Our RIE Associates can show you how.
-
Infants need an intimate, stable relationship with at least one adult
This relationship is best developed during caregiving activities
-
Infants are active participants while being cared for
Infants need a safe, carefully-designed environment in which to move, explore and manipulate objects
-
Spontaneous, self-initiated activities have an essential value for physical and mental development
The Educarer® must learn to observe, understand and respect the individuality of each infant
-
New Parents
