It was 1975 and La Cañada resident Rose Hogg wanted a unique, educational and fun place for her young son Robert and his friends to attend. After exploring local options she decided to create a team of highly skilled teachers and opened Hogg’s Hollow. It was important that Hogg’s Hollow teachers were well trained and experienced and also had a heart for young children. Rose feels that children thrive when treated with respect and love.

The Hogg’s Hollow program has been refined over the last 40 years and today offers a creative hands-on program that delights young children, and includes language arts, math skills, science experiments, music activities, dance lessons, art, cooking, field trips and much more! Programs include Mommy/Daddy & Me classes, preschool for children 2 & 3 years old, T/K and kindergarten classes for children 4 & 5 years old plus after school private tutoring, summer programs and more.

Since 1985, Hogg’s Hollow has leased part of the La Cañada School District’s former Foothill Intermediate School, a large facility where Hogg’s Hollow has its own preschool play area plus the use of the adjoining track and field. Having all this space available gives Hogg’s Hollow students room to run on a beautiful grassy area. Needless to say, students are physically fit while enjoying a safe environment with lots of outdoor space. In addition to its own play yard with a fountain-fed river, a side-ways rock-climbing wall, and other climbing and sliding equipment, Hogg’s Hollow students have room to run. A free shuttle program in La Cañada also allows Hogg’s Hollow to take field trips to community facilities such as the nearby fire stations or to go for a hike along a local stream. Hogg’s Hollow students go places!
