Free Trial — One Parent–Child In-Person Class
Curious about our parent-baby classes? Try one free class before you commit.
This free trial offers families an opportunity to explore our unique environment, meet the facilitator, and get a feel for how our classes support both children and parents.
During this 90 minute class, babies explore a thoughtfully prepared play space at their own pace while parents observe from a comfortable vantage point. Together, we slow down, notice each child’s natural competencies, and reflect on their emerging interests, movements, and interactions.
Parents are welcome to bring any questions about development, caregiving, or daily routines. Each class includes space for supportive conversation and gentle guidance.
This session includes:
Unhurried, child-led play in a safe, developmentally supportive environment
Time to observe your child’s unique process and emerging abilities
A brief group reflection with the facilitator
Practical insights grounded in respectful caregiving and relationship-based practice
A chance to meet other families in a calm, welcoming setting
Who it’s for:
Parents and their babies (ages 12–18 months) on Fridays at 9:15 am and (3-6 months) on Mondays at 10:30 am.
No prior experience with RIE/Pikler needed — all families are welcome.
Facilitator:
Marwa Adel, RIE® Practicum Student
Supervised by RIE® Associate Elizabeth Memel
Location:
Washington, DC (exact address sent upon registration)
Cost:
Free — limited spots available
