The Educaring Approach to the Foundational Years
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.



We're Here for Parents, Babies
& Caregivers
Fifty years ago, Magda Gerber taught us to see infants “with new eyes,” thereby revolutionizing infant care in the U.S. She founded RIE as a resource for her ideas of respectful, trusting, and responsive care; what she called “Educaring.” Her focus on investing time in enjoyable care routines and respecting a baby’s innate capacities to learn, have become best practices for families and early childhood programs. RIE is an accessible, two-generation, integrated approach to caring for babies from birth to two years old that supports development across all developmental domains:
Social-emotional
Perceptual, motor, and physical
Cognitive
Language acquisition and communication
Approach to learning
Articles & More

"But nobody can pay full attention all of the time.
The natural time to be wholeheartedly with your child is the time you do spend together anyway -- while you care for your baby. Think of these `taking-care-of` routines as very special, the `refueling` time for both of you -- time for intimate togetherness." -- "Dear Parent: Caring for Infants with Respect" by Magda Gerber, p.5
