No - the accompanying parent is certainly not eligible for an open work permit.

The accompanying parent is not allowed to live or work in Canada. The accompanying parent can come to Canada for up to six months as a visitor. If the accompanying parent wants to stay longer, they will have to apply to extend their visitor visa. Note that not all extensions are approved.

The program for OWP is only valid for SPOUSES, not parents. You as a parent, cannot get any immigration benefit for your child's SP....

You are a visitor, plain and simple. You are not allowed to work or go to school

1. A 19 year old is an adult in Canada. No the parents can't work.
2. Yes, as kindergarten is not considered schooling.

Even if you child is a minor (and you stated he is 19 so he's not) it would not give you the right to work in Canada. You can visit but if you want to work you need to qualify for a WP or immigration on your own.
