ABC follows a relationship-based approach of teaching and care giving developed by Magda Gerber under the name Resources for Infant Educarers or RIE. We respect infants, spending quality time with them, learning their individual ways of communicating, involving infants in the things that concern them, being honest with infants and allowing them to solve a problem without adult interference.

​Our day is grounded by a structure of consistent routines and expectations which serve to facilitate the child’s basic sense of trust in the world.  Each child gains a sense of self as an individual while learning to negotiate socially.
