Parents' Comments
Parent #1
The Hollow Reed School is a wonderful school. We are sad to be leaving. It is has a very kind, easy-going, and multi-cultural learning environment. The culture of the school is very reflective of the culture of Jamaica Plain -- we found it very comfortable for our family. The Director and staff are all very knowledgeable and experienced educators. Our girls have thrived here, and are well suited to move to their next educational experience.

If there was a single photo that could capture my feelings and thoughts about the past year, this would be it. It reminds me to keep looking toward the brightness of the light, even if I am caught in the wild tangle of grasses. This shot reminds me that
Montessori? Waldorf? Play-based?
What school type is right for your child? Is one model better than another? What does the research say?

Today's “Preschool’s Out” Activity
Trace around your child's foot, with shoe on, on a piece of white construction paper or card stock. Have child cut out the shoe print and add a spooky face. Glue it to a popsicle stick and you have a ghost stick puppet!
