Classes for Parents

Learning from RIE® Associates online or seeing the approach modeled in a RIE Certified class helps parents make it their own. We offer in-person classes at the RIE Centers in Los Angeles and in locations around the world through our network of RIE Associates and online classes in a variety of time zones to meet people where they are. We have ongoing classes and welcome new families. As infant/toddler specialists, we can help you understand your baby and are here to answer your parenting questions. We can’t wait to see you in class!

“The online RIE classes have been wonderful—even better than I expected. They provide a great education on the overall RIE approach, but also plenty of concrete advice and camaraderie with the other parents…Every week the class somehow resets my patience and also my appreciation for and curiosity about my kids… ”
Anna RIE Mom
“I learned many things that have already helped in my family life, but I did not expect to feel so moved and inspired by the class. It really opened my eyes to how powerful and important these ideas are and makes me wonder what the world would be like if every child were treated with respect. ”
Amy RIE Mom
“I highly recommend the online RIE courses and feel so fortunate that I can live outside of California, and still receive the teachings and guidance of the RIE experts.”
Summer RIE Mom
