Reviews of Inch by Inch Child Development Center (Kindergarten)

Tanya W Williams

My daughter has been going here for about 8 months or so, and she loves it! I really love it too. My little one used to go to another daycare and she would kick and scream before we even left the house, telling me she didn't want to go. But, with Miss Renee's place, she just grabs her bag and talks about her friends and how she loves Miss Renee. Total 180! My daughter knows the name of all of her school mates and their parents. She even surprises me daily with knowledge she learned at Inch by Inch. I am so amazed!! I thought it was just a daycare and it's so much more than that. It's a preschool with a special type of education that my daughter is really acceptable to. The staff is really nice and professional, the facility is very natural and clean. If you are contemplating going here then just try it out for a week and you'll see the difference between one of those "Fast Food" like child centers and Miss Renee's amazing personal and loving facility. I definitely recommend it. T

Our son has attended Inch by Inch since he was 2 1/2. We began a search for a preschool when our son's speech therapist suggested that being in a classroom, with peers might help with his speech delay. I am so glad we found Renee and Inch by Inch. Our son has truly blossomed since attending. He asks to go to school everyday, and loves the new center. The teachers are so wonderful, caring, and compassionate. I know that he is in the best care, and learning all the time. At this time he is nearly 4, and you would never know he had a speech delay, he is already on the road to being well prepared for kindergarten. We owe a lot of his growing confidence and aptitude for learning to Renee and her staff.

My daughter has been attending inch by inch for over a year now. It's not always easy dropping her off (she loves time with mom) but once she's there and we're gone she loves it. Renee and her staff just get it. They understand child hood development and know the focus should be on social/emotional skills rather than pre academics. Kids have their whole lives to worry about test scores. At inch by inch they understand learning should be play based. We also love the playground and that the kids go outside daily. The prices are fair. This is what preschools in Oregon should be striving for.

My 3 yr. old grandson has been in the Inch by Inch Daycare program for over 2&1/2 yrs. now. Renee, the owner and teacher, is a kind and compassionate person whose love and respect for the children shows through in all she does. She is a highly competent and organized teacher who has developed a learning environment which is developmentally appropriate, child centered, creative, imaginative, and fun. She follows a theme based curriculum using a variety of centers to teach music, art, language, reading, and writing, thus promoting cognitive, physical, social and emotional devlopment. The kids are so excited about learning through her many varied activities, and love their time with Renee. I am a retired speech and language specialist who has spent most of my 30 yr. career working in Oregon preschool programs. I can honestly say that Renee is one of the best early childhood teachers and daycare providers I have ever met. I am thrilled that my little grandson is able to be a part of her outstanding program.

Renee and the teachers are amazing with the kids. My daughter has been going for two weeks now. I would normally wait longer to write a review, but she has really blossomed in those two weeks! The teachers are so caring, respectful and attentive towards all the kids. They do so many hands on activities and spend a lot of time outdoors, in the amazing play space, where they can run around and play. My daughter already loves it here. Sh looks forward to her new friends and teachers each day and when I pick her up, she doesn't want to go home :)

What an amazing childcare center. We have taken our daughter here for about a year now. The teachers are all very educated in child development. They understand that kids learn best through play and it shows in their curriculum. Their outdoor space is the perfect place for the kids to explore and take age appropriate risks. The only thing we wish is that there was a wider range of ages for children here!

Cami Rude

My son has been going to Inch by Inch for about a year and a half now and we love it! They just moved into a new center this summer and the natural play-scape is unlike anything I have ever seen before! There is no need for commercial climbers and play equipment here. The children are getting in touch with nature and it is great! If you are looking for care, definitely check out this unique space for your child!

Krista Hawkins

My youngest son has been going here since just before he turned 4 and loves going to school. His teachers are wonderful, he has made some wonderful friends and he loves playing in the outdoor area. Best thing of all...he's learning a lot and he just thinks he's playing most of the time. Ms. Renee genuinely cares about the children in her school. I absolutely love the class notes emailed to me almost every day! It is so much fun seeing what their big activities were for the day. It gives us a lot to talk about on the way home.

Jennifer Charlo

My son has been attending Inch by Inch 6 months now and we couldn't be happier that we chose this center for him. He is learning so much through the curriculum they follow and there is an amazing outside play area for the kids. The kids get both classroom structure and outside play every day. The teachers are all amazing!

Shannon Brown

Our 2-1/2 year old is in the Dragonfly classroom. His speech, comprehension, social skills, and independence have all vastly improved since starting school. He loves his teachers and friends and looks forward to going to school each day. The curriculum is world-class and they are truly inspiring our kids to love learning. The outdoor space is amazing and the kids get to explore in a natural environment. Can't say enough about Inch by Inch! 5 stars!

Jeff Haroldson

Wonderful experience! My kids never want to come home.

Irene Tetz

Renee, Aaron, Cami and the rest of the staff have been been great with both of my children. The eldest left to kindergarten last year and would rather be at Inch by Inch then his kindergarten. My younger child is more attached to me and has a hard time when I leave, the staff always makes him feel welcome and the transition on both of us is always easy and I feel he will have a wonderful day after I leave.

Both of our kids are/were at Inch-by-Inch. The teachers are caring and are trained in early childhood education. They give students space to discover their interests, and design collaborative group projects based on these interests. One thing I really like is that Inch-by-Inch borders the Tualitin Hills Nature Park (separated by a tall chain-linked-fence). The playground is set amongst big beautiful trees, the view into the nature park is quite nice, and once-in-a-while, a deer wandering through the nature park will make an appearance to the class.

I am the mom of inch by inch's very first kiddo. He has been with Renee since he was 5 months old and is now 4! I have seen him grow and blossom into an amazing little boy and I know that Renee and her curriculum is primarily responsible for this. Renee has not only provided a safe and loving environment for my son, but she has also taught him to be confident in who he is. He comes home everyday and shares what he has learned along the with fun activities and projects he participated in. He is always excited to go to Inch by Inch and has made some great friends there. I feel that Renee has prepared my son immensely for kindergarten with her background in early childhood education. My husband and I feel so incredibly fortunate that our son has had the opportunity to attend Inch by Inch and highly recommend the center to anyone looking for a quality early educational program.

Both of my kids have gone to inch by inch and they love it! The teachers are great, personable, and friendly. I wouldn't hesitate to send my kids here. One of the features I like is the daily notes. I just love opening the email and seeing what my kids have been up to and what they're learning about.

Renee and her staff are great! My son has been going for over a year and has really blossomed since he started. Renee is caring and attentive towards all the kids. There are a lot of hands on activities, which my son loves, along with outdoor time where they can run around and play. I would highly recommend Inch by Inch to anyone!
