YOUNGER TODDLER CLASS RHYTHM
The rhythm of RIE®-inspired parent-child classes focuses largely on observation and modeling the use of selective intervention in interactions between children.
In each class we will ensure there is time for:
“Warming in” time - adults can check in about the week, children can transition into being in the space
Quiet observation - we’ll start with a shorter observation and gradually lengthen it as we become more comfortable with the practice
Discussion about what we observed
Parents/carers are welcome to bring questions / topics of discussion to the group
Snack time (beginning around 12 months)
“Easing out” / saying goodbye / cleaning up
The class will follow an emergent curriculum model that will thoughtfully scaffold the unfolding growth of both children and their parents/carers. The physical environment will be tailored to support the interests and developmental tasks of the children while our inquiry and guided discussions will be responsive to the needs of parents/careers.
