Welcome to Cow Hollow School Cow Hollow School is a preschool for children 2-5 years old. The school supports the belief that children learn through play, exploration and discovery within the context of nurturing and reciprocal influences of children, parents and teachers. Our curriculum is based on the constructivist philosophy in which children construct knowledge and understanding from authentic experiences—they are encouraged to explore possibilities, invent solutions, collaborate with others, and try out ideas in the context of meaningful experiences. These real-life experiences make connections that inspire and provoke, and foster inquiry and critical thinking. Parents of 2/3-year-old children act as partners in the classroom by working with the teachers a few days each month. Parents teaching alongside teachers and a low adult-child ratio affords parents an opportunity to closely observe, learn from and with their children, and guide their experiences with support and direction from experienced teachers. As a result of this unique setting, partnership and experiences, learning, teaching and parenting are enriched and transformed. |
