Classes at Canterbury Creek Farm School
Preschool
At Canterbury Creek Farm Preschool, our classes spark curiosity and confidence in children ages 3–5 through a dynamic, multi-age program. Nestled on our 11-acre campus in Ada, MI, we blend indoor learning with outdoor exploration, offering a fun, safe, and enriching environment where young learners thrive.
Young Fives
Our unique Young 5’s program prepares children for kindergarten with a focus on social skills, early academics, and confidence. This program offers a nurturing bridge for young learners, ensuring they’re ready for the next step with an explorer’s excitement.
Special Experiences
From horse rides to picnics, our special activities make learning unforgettable. Children participate in hands-on animal care, like bottle-feeding baby animals, and outdoor adventures that inspire wonder and connection to nature.
