Advice from Parents to Prospective Parents on Admissions

Parent #1
It's important to get your application in early and to visit the preschool.

Parent #2
I studied the approach, attended an open house and did a letter to the director.

Parent #3
Continue to keep in touch with the preschool. They get so many applications and some applicants never even follow up.

Parent #4
Since Cow Hollow School is a co-op, the families that participate must be especially committed to the school's philosophy and willing to take on the resposibilities of partnership. I took several opportunities to express our family's excitement about the school to the school director. I think our sincere enthusiasm and commitment to the school's special vision helped our application.

Parent #5
Wrote a letter about what I liked about the school and what my child was like. The close observation of my child helped I think because the school does no interviews of parents and children but at the same time wants families who are happy in the co-op environment where they will be working with other children. Also made a point of meeting with the director, who despite her schedule, always seemed to be available.
