About Canterbury Creek

Nurturing Young Explorers Since 1975

Nestled on 11 acres in the heart of Ada, Michigan, Canterbury Creek Farm Preschool has been a haven for young learners since 1975. Our multi-age program (ages 3–6) blends hands-on learning with the wonders of nature, creating a joyful space where children thrive.

Children delight in our two schoolhouses, three expansive playgrounds, and vibrant green spaces, exploring nature trails and engaging in creative play. Our working farm—home to horses, cows, goats, sheep, an alpaca, pigs, chickens, and more—offers unique moments like bottle-feeding baby animals or riding horses, fostering care and responsibility.

Through our dynamic curriculum, we cultivate confident, curious learners ready for their next steps. Join us to see how our supportive community helps young hearts and minds flourish.
