School Philosophy and Mission
At Inch By Inch we believe that children learn best from being able to play, explore and experiment at their own pace in a fun and stimulating environment free from judgment. Music and art is a wonderful tool for teaching and we use a lot of it in our school. We embrace and respect each child's individual temperament.

Typical Day-In-The-Life At This School
Everyday our school provides water play, painting, an art/cooking project, clay, music, a dramatic play area, a cozy book area, out door play, and manipulatives. We have a lunch together where we talk and I read them stories. We have a circle time every day where we sing, use puppets, share ideas and talk about our monthly science themes. At the end of the day we have our tea time and eat seasonal organic fruit.
