learning time
This self-paced course is approximately 12 hours of learning time.
who is this for?
Early years educators and leaders with a passion for high quality practice with infants and toddlers.
skill level
Suitable for beginner to experienced ECE educators and leaders.
This course takes a deep dive into understanding respectful infant and toddler care in group settings. Underpinned by learnings from RIE and Pikler philosophies, this course takes early childhood teachers through what quality infant and toddler group care looks, sounds and feels like. This includes a break down of significant care moments for children and teachers.

We support you to develop a clear understanding of why primary caregiving is so important in group ECE settings, and delve into the research that supports this practice. Furthermore we explore what this means for teachers and leaders working with infants and toddlers from a practical perspective.
We unpack the role of the primary caregiver and also how to create a secondary caregiver system. 

This course also explores how to plan and prepare for infants and toddlers with our EBook "Planning for infants and toddlers" and accompanying recorded webinar.

And lastly we address the elephant in the room - ROSTERS! You know those dreadful old school practices of rostering teachers on jobs for "nappies, inside, outside and float." We show you how you can work successfully without rosters in a primary caregiving system that is in the best interests of infants and toddlers.
This course is for you if;

  • You want to develop your understanding of respectful practice and what this looks like with infants and toddlers in group care.
  • You know that primary caregiving is best practice for infants and toddlers, but you are not sure exactly how to go about this.
  • You want to build your knowledge and expertise as an infant and toddler specialist.
  • You want to know how to work without rosters, how to implement primary caregiving, and how to create a high functioning infant and toddler team.

About the Authors 

Raeywne Bary (EdD)

Raewyne has an ENORMOUS amount of experience and knowledge in ECE, Primary Caregiving and RIE philosophy. Not only that, but Raewyne has completed a PhD, and her research focus was on the impact of organisational culture on the ability of teachers to form attachment type relationships.
It was through this mahi that Raewyne deepened her understanding of how rosters can and do impact on relationship development.Raewyne was also part of the team at Massey University Childcare Center who was a leader in the field at implementing primary care giving, and who has shown us all that we can in fact work without rosters in an infant toddler space, and that this is best practice for this age group.She has also been part of a three year Center of Innovation research project which explored leadership impacts on outcomes for infants and toddlers. This was further connected to the center's community of practice philosophy where the team worked without rosters, in a primary care system.
