Special Lecture by Tom "Teacher Tom" Hobson on The Importance of Risky Play

The University-Ravenna Cooperative Preschool invites you to join us for a special lecture by Tom “Teacher Tom” Hobson, renowned preschool educator and author, on The Importance of Risky Play. Children need to engage in risky play. Indeed, it’s impossible to talk about play without also talking about risk, and it is impossible to talk about being a parent without considering our obligation to keep children safe. Tom discusses how we can walk the fine line required to balance these often competing imperatives. $5 suggested donation supports the North Seattle College Parent Advisory Council (PAC) Scholarship Fund. The PAC is composed of parents from each co-op class in the North Seattle College Cooperative Preschool Program, as well as a faculty representative from the program.
