What to Expect

The RIE and Steiner approach to the first three years of life fosters a deep relationship of trust and respect between you and your child, laying beautiful, lifelong foundations — whilst inviting you to relax and savour these very special, fleeting years.

This class offers a peaceful, carefully designed and supportive space where you can connect with other families, authentically discover your baby, and learn how to support their natural development — foundational to their ability to deeply know themselves.

In the first three years of life, babies master some of the most remarkable things — from walking and talking, to thinking and feeling. This is not about more expert opinions. It's about returning to what's most natural, with understanding, reverence and respect for these precious early years.

This is your space to slow down and arrive — in presence with yourself, and with your baby.

❋ Intentional Structure

Move freely and explore a beautiful, natural play space alongside babies at a similar stage of development.

❋ Slowing Down

Experience the gift of slowing down — observing your baby with fresh eyes and deepening your connection is a core part of the process.

❋ Expert Facilitation

Led by Narelle Melnick, with over 12 years experience in supporting mothers from birth to 3yrs. 

❋ A Supportive Space

Have space to ask questions, share reflections and find your village.

"Be careful what you teach. It might interfere with what they are learning." — Magda Gerber
