It is absolutely okay if you can’t make it to all of the sessions or need to arrive late or leave early — we totally understand.

These play groups are RIE-inspired spaces for infants, toddlers, and their caregivers to connect, observe, and grow—together.

Each session begins with an optional adult check-in, followed by a period of quiet observation while children explore safe, open-ended, developmentally appropriate play objects. Caregivers remain present and available, stepping in only to meet a child’s needs for safety, nourishment, or emotional refueling.

The pace is intentionally slow and spacious.
