Janet Lansbury

Janet Lansbury follows Magda Gerber’s child care philosophy. Magda Gerber was the founder of Resources for Infant Educarers, usually referred to as RIE, an organization that continues to teach her educaring ideas to parents and caregivers. Their philosophy is different from Montessori, although the two share some similarities (i.e. their ideal of respecting infants and treating a baby as a person from the beginning).
