Summer of 2017 our Director will be presenting at the Play Empowers PEP Rally in Maryland: Respectfully Caring for Infants and Toddlers.
This conference for Early Childhood Educators will be led by Peter Gray and Emily Plank of Abundant Life Children thanks to Lakisha “Kisha” Reid of Play Empowers and Discovery Early Learning Center. For more information visit Play Empowers PEP RALLY 2017
This group is intended for parents with a basic understanding and appreciation of Resources for Infant Educarers™’ RIE® principles — Respect for the child as a whole person and trust in the child to be the initiator, explorer, and self-learner. Let’s create a community in Chicago where we can offer RIE®-friendly play groups, the space to observe together as parents, and an online discussion board to share experiences and perspectives.
“We have a basic trust in the infant to be an initiator… we provide the infant with only enough help necessary to allow the child to enjoy mastery of her own actions” -Magda Gerber.
