RISE

RISE Inspired by RIE®. My name is Shannon Carr. I am a parent, early childhood specialist, parent-child group facilitator, and advocate for children and families.

RISE offers parent-child classes for children 6 weeks - 30 months that encourages babies to be authentic, attentive, and emotionally and socially supportive to one another while giving parents lifelong tools to foster these attributes. I have been in the field of Early Childhood for almost 25 years. In that time I have had the opportunity to be a part of many families' lives as carer of children,

teacher and mentor for adults, parent educator, child advocate, and parent (my favorite and most challenging role). Along the way I fell in love with a way of being with children called Educaring® which includes being with children in an authentic, trusting, respectful kind of way, without judgement. See rie.org or Janetlansbury.com for more information. I learned through my studies and experiences that the way we life early on, strongly impacts every other area of your being for the rest of your life. This is when I created RISE. RISE gives me the opportunity to provide strength to families during those most critical years. At RISE we offer monthly Network Meetings for all to attend, Parent-Child Groups for children 6 weeks - 30 months, and classes for expectant families. Please reach out to me anytime with any thoughts, questions, or ideas you may have. I love to connect and partner. Together we can make this world a better place for children and families.

We see this back and forth, give and take, almost every week in our parent-infant classes. Children are learning about themselves, about being in relationship with others, what it feels like to feel loss… and making decisions about holding on, when they want to let go, they are also giving and connecting. They is relationship.
