Third Way Parenting: RIE®-style Parent-Infant Groups Starting in March

Now enrolling for Pikler/RIE®-style parent-infant play groups starting in March! Play Groups will take place near Strawberry Creek Park in West Berkeley.

Led by early childhood professional, Shannon Foster, these observation-based play groups invite parents to take a step back and witness the natural unfolding of their infant's gross motor development and early social relationships. We’ll also explore the value of collaborative, respectful, and dignified care when engaging your infant in tasks like diapering and toileting, feeding, and dressing. Play group information below!
