We toured several preschools in the Multnomah Village area before deciding on Kinder Prep, and choosing Julia Putnam was one of the best decisions we’ve made for our child. What stood out most was when we asked Julia why she started the school. She shared that working with children has been her lifelong passion. She has spent many years dedicated to early childhood education, including much of her career working with the Head Start program. It was clear that she genuinely loves children and is a strong advocate for them and their development. My husband and I both work from home and were initially nervous about putting our child in preschool, but it has been incredible to see how much he’s grown. He’s become more independent, is learning new skills like spelling his name and putting on his shoes, and has made friends along the way. He’s truly learning and thriving while he’s there. Julia and the teachers pour so much care into the kids, the families, and the entire community. You can feel how much they genuinely care. We couldn’t recommend Kinder Prep more.

More reviews on GoogleFrom the moment we walked through the doors of Kinderprep, we were struck by the warmth and genuine friendliness of the staff. Each teacher has gone above and beyond to make our family feel welcome and supported. The community atmosphere is incredibly inviting—not just for children, but for parents too. Other families we've met here are kind, engaging, and eager to connect, creating a sense of camaraderie that has made our school experience all the more enjoyable. Kinderprep’s curriculum is thoughtfully designed and consistently delivered, with a clear focus on age-appropriate development and individualized learning. We've watched our son blossom academically, showing newfound curiosity and confidence in early literacy and numeracy. Even more impressive are the strides he’s made in his behavior and emotional intelligence—he's more empathetic, self-aware, and expressive than ever before. The structured yet nurturing environment has truly laid the foundation for a love of learning and personal growth.
Julia and her team are great! We have sent both of our children for 2yrs now and they love going! Highly recommend!
We are incredibly grateful for the wonderful experience our daughter has had at KinderPrep Preschool. Under the direction of Julia Pitman, the preschool has provided a nurturing, educational, and fun environment that has helped our child grow and thrive. Ms. Pitman’s dedication to her students is evident in the way she designs each day to be engaging and enriching. The care and attention she gives to each child are truly remarkable, and it’s clear that she is deeply committed to their well-being and development. We couldn't be happier with the positive and supportive atmosphere at KinderPrep, and we highly recommend this preschool to any parent looking for a place where their child will be both cared for and inspired.
Teacher Julia is a wonderful person and character model for our three and five year old boys. Her direction and guidance has helped our children grow and develop in a classroom style learning environment that has prepared our boys for their next steps in their educational journey. Julia’s thoughtful and consistent approach encourages her students to learn independence, collaboration, and the essential skills of early childhood education. The classroom setup at Kinderprep allows students to work together and is inclusive to different types of behaviors encouraging the children to express themselves in creative and productive ways. We are so grateful to have found Kinderprep and cannot recommend this school enough! We are so glad that we trusted teacher Julia with the Pre-K education for our boys. Thank you for all that you do for your students and the community, Julia!
