A note from the Parent and Child Class Director

Welcome to a calm and joyful journey through free play, movement, engagement and exploration. Each morning will bring seasonal songs, stories, and simple crafts, as well as a warm snack for parents and children shared in community. In addition, parents will find an environment of warmth and companionship to bring their observations and questions. I look forward to spending time with you.
Warmly,
Ursula Ramos

Treasuring Childhood Film & Lecture Series Presents: Chasing Childhood Film Viewing & Panel Discussion
2024-11-20 18:00 - 20:00 | Tucson Waldorf School, 3605 East River Road, Tucson, 85718
Treasuring Childhood Film & Lecture Series Presents: Chasing Childhood
Film Viewing & Panel Discussion
with Hilary Moses, Jen Rosenstein, & Ursula Ramos
Chasing Childhood is a feature length documentary that explores how free play and independence have all but disappeared from kids’ lives, supplanted by relentless perfectionism leading to record rates of anxiety and depression, a situation now compounded by the pandemic. Free play, unsupervised by adults, is critical for developing essential life skills: grit, independence, and resourcefulness. Many young adults may appear more accomplished on paper, but by the time they get to college they are emotionally struggling and lacking the tools needed to live independently.

After the screening, a panel discussion will be led by Hilary Moses, MSW, Co-Owner of Solutions Parenting Support; Jen Rosenstein, Pedagogical Director at TWS; and Ursula Ramos, Parent-Child teacher and Early Childhood chair at TWS.
November 20th, 6:00-8:00 p.m.
Grade 7 Classroom
