Service Description

"Another word for love, is time" - Magda Gerber Join me in an intimate, supportive, cohort-based playgroup for families of infants (3months-rolling over/ early crawler). This playgroup is guided by Magda Gerber's respectful caregiving principles of RIE. To learn more visit www.rie.org. What do you get from joining these playgroups? - A play environment where children lead their movement and exploration and adults sit back and observe how competent children are. - The time and space to allow authentic interactions between children. - Guided discussion in a judgement free space. - An environment curated with materials to explore that support the child's developmental stage. - An opportunity to grow together in a supportive community of parents. In these short series, we will explore the foundations of respectful care. - Seeing children with respect, as a whole human, capable and competent. - Trusting children to do what they are intrinsically driven to do. - Communicating with baby: letting them know what we are about to do before we do it. - "Being with baby": being wholly present during caregiving times and also allowing time and space for baby to be on her/his own, engaging in independent play. We will also discuss the benefits of letting babies move and explore in ways that they can, without interfering with their natural motor development. Slow down with us each week and find community, play and support!.

Playgroup Policy

1. We request bare feet or socks only in our playgroups to offer a safe space for our little ones. 2. Parents, please bring all items for the care and well-being of your child (diapers, bottle, water, etc). I will provide all the play materials and a safe space for your child to explore. 3. All families contribute towards creating a safe space for the group. If you or your child is sick and could be contagious, please take time to rest and recoup before you are safe to join again. 4. I request for you and your partner/ caregiver to be wholly present during the playgroup. Avoiding scrolling on the phone or texting will contribute to the respectful safe space. This is your time together with your child; relax, observe and be wholly present. 5. Infants and toddlers have an instinctual desire to mouth objects to support their sensory exploration, there will be disinfecting wipes to wipe the toys down if that makes you comfortable. Understand that there will be scenarios where multiple infants/ toddlers may mouth the same object (before you wipe it down), this is developmentally appropriate - please act according to your comfort level with grace and respect for the group. We are always modeling for our children who are continuously learning. 6. RESPECT is the guideline for our playgroups. Respecting each child as a competent & capable being, on his/her own timeline and respecting each family and the place they are at on their parenting journey. We will hold space for all feelings and growth with respect and compassion. 7. Once you have signed up and paid for the playgroup class, your spot is confirmed. There are no refunds for a missed class but we can try and accommodate you for a make up which will be subject to availability of space, Please request for one via an email. 8. In these weekly gatherings, we grow in our observations, understanding and interactions. This playgroup is continuously growing and evolving and we hope you continue to grow with us in community, support and respect. PARENT AGREEMENT: By signing up to participate in the Parent-Infant Guidance Classes, I am agreeing that I or my partner, or both, will be present each time we bring our infant to class. Neither the facilitator/s nor El Nido can assume responsibility for the safety of my child, and that I will not hold El Nido or its staff responsible for any event. I confirm that I have read through and that I am in agreement with the guidelines in this policy.
