Join Our Community
At Canterbury Creek Farm Preschool, our classes spark curiosity and confidence in children ages 3–6 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.
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.
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.
With small class sizes and caring teachers, we create a second home for your child. Contact us to schedule a tour and discover how our classes nurture young explorers in Ada, MI.

2025–2026 Enrollment Policy and Conditions
Registration for the 2025–2026 school year is now open!
Families can view all available class sessions online and register directly for any open spots. If a session is full, you will have the option to register for the wait list.
Priority Enrollment
Returning families are given first priority. All remaining spots are filled on a first-come, first-served basis, determined by the date and time registration is submitted through Enrollsy.
Class Selection & Payment
When you register on Enrollsy, you will:
Select your preferred class session
Pay your registration fees at checkout, which include:
$70 non-refundable registration fee (not applied to tuition)
May 2026 tuition deposit, based on your selected schedule:
$280 for 2-day/week classes
$395 for 3-day/week classes
$655 for 5-day/week classes
Your child’s spot is secured once payment is completed. If payment is not made at the time of registration, the spot will remain open to other families.
Wait List
If a class is full, you may still register to be added to the wait list for that session. A $70 non-refundable registration fee is still required to join the wait list. You will not be charged the tuition deposit unless a spot becomes available and your child is officially enrolled in a class.
Our enrollment history shows we are often able to place many children from the wait list. Selecting alternate class preferences (if your schedule allows) can increase your chances of placement.
Tuition Deposit & Withdrawal Policy
Your tuition deposit is applied to May 2026, or to your child’s final month at Canterbury if they withdraw earlier—provided we receive at least 30 days’ written notice.
For withdrawals before the school year begins in September 2025:
The tuition deposit will be refunded only if the Director is notified by email by May 1, 2025.
