• Welcome, I'm glad you're here!

    I'm Shannon Wagoner, an intern in the RIE Pathways program. As part of the pathway to becoming a RIE Associate, I am hosting in-person parent-child guidance playgroup classes in Charlottesville, Virginia. These classes are open to caregivers (parents, aunts, grandpas, legal guardians, teen/adult siblings, etc) with their child. After filling this interest form out, I will be in touch shortly about getting you started in the class! Space is limited in each class, generally 8 infants per class or 6 toddlers per class.
  • All classes are pay-what-you-can

    This work is available in our community on a pay-what-you-can basis so that anyone who wants to attend is able to. A welcome letter along with a payment form for those who are able to contribute to this work will be sent out closer to the start of class.
  • CURRENT OFFERINGS:

    Spring Premobile/Rolling Babies Cohort at Kindred Cville

    Tuesdays from 9:00-10:00am.

    March 3, 10, 17, 24, 31

    April 7, 14, 21

    This class is most appropriate for babies who are premobile and/or working on rolling independently or have been rolling for a brief amount of time (DOB likely between September '25 to December '25, but everyone is different!). We will get to observe their play together, discuss what we observed, and chat about any bigger topics that come up. Past participants in this class have described it as a great opportunity for relaxing quailty time with your infant, free of other distractions like pets, older siblings, and other household happenings. See how they play and learn, and connect with other adult caregivers like you!
