Infant/Toddler Center Curriculum
RIE tm Philosophy
Respect is the guideline of RIE's philosophy. The
educarer shows respect, for example, by not picking up an
infant or toddler without telling them beforehand, by
talking directly to and not over the child and by waiting
for the child's response. Such respectful attitudes
help develop an authentic child. RIE's goal is to
help raise authentic infants and toddlers who are:
| Competent | Confident |
| Focused | Aware |
| Peaceful | Secure |
| Involved | Attentive |
| Cheerful | Curious |
| Cooperative | Exploring |
| Resourceful | Interested |
| Initiating | Inner-directed |
