Mommy & Me

Savanna places high importance on providing secure, clean, and welcoming spaces that build a sense of belonging for children and their families. Through our carefully designed environments, we inspire curiosity, foster creativity and support discovery with various sensory-rich spaces.

RIE Principles of Respect include:

Our infant toddler program (for ages 3- 18 months) is based on the principles of Magda Gerber’s RIE approach of respectful caregiving and education (Resources for Infant Educarers).

  • Basic trust in the child to be an initiator, an explorer and a self-learner. 

  • An environment for the child that is physically safe, cognitively challenging and emotionally nurturing. 

  • Time for uninterrupted play

  • Freedom to explore and interact with other infants. 

  • Involvement of the child in all care activities to allow the child to become an active participant rather than a passive recipient. 

  • Sensitive observation of the child in order to understand his or her needs. 

  • Consistency, clearly defined limits and expectations to develop discipline.
