RIE® Mission
We teach an integrated model for the care and education of infants and the very young using Magda Gerber’s respectful Educaring® Approach.
RIE Vision
Through our approach, which honors infants and young children as equal members in relationships, we are dedicated to creating a culture of people who are authentic, resourceful, and respectful. Our work is inspired by the natural integrity of infants and the formative power of relationships in their lives. When allowed to unfold in their own way and in their own time, children discover, manifest and inspire the best in themselves and in others. We are profoundly committed to sharing the opportunity to see infants with new eyes.
“Infancy is a vulnerable stage of development, therefore, it’s not enough that babies receive good care, the care must be excellent.” — Magda Gerber
