Farm-based preschool on an 11-acre farm in Ada (Forest Hills area) near Grand Rapids that also runs one-week summer day-camp sessions for young children ages roughly 3-6. Half-day camps of about three hours (morning or afternoon) keep kids outdoors caring for animals, taking horse rides, exploring nature trails and playing, plus a Kindergarten Prep Camp for soon-to-be kindergartners.

This place has blown me away. First of all, the owners must not sleep. Mrs. Turchetti is so communicative, remembers every student, and just goes above and beyond to make every family feel cared for. She’s absolutely incredible. Her husband is also always running around fixing things and caring for the animals. I recently learned he also has a whole career outside of this too, which I just don’t even know how it’s possible. I am so impressed with them. That’s just the tip of the iceberg of why and how this place is special, I could go on and on for pages. Thank you farm school for this special time ♥️

Farm school has been the best decision for our three year old. The time spent outside, nature-based learning, and kind, patient and creative teachers are helping our daughter thrive! She loves going to school. She loves her teachers and the friends she’s making. And we see her growing academically and socially. They are very organized and communicate well to parents. We love Canterbury Creek and are looking forward to the next few years there!

We are in our second year at farm school and are excited to send our third child through the preschool next year. We’ve enjoyed all the teachers and teacher helpers. The biggest impact I’ve seen is with their social emotional skills. They love all their friends and overall are much more outgoing and confident thanks to farm school.

In response to a recent poor review which was written out of spite: Canterbury Creek Farm school was an incredible experience for both of my children. The teachers were incredible. Nicole the owner truly cares about the children including providing an outstanding leaning environment. Both my kids absolutely love and excelled being in a creative atmosphere where they could play outside. In fact we love the experience so much that my youngest attended the same school 3 years later. Also in terms of academics both of my children were more than ready for kindergarten and have excelled in elementary school. I would highly recommend Canterbury Creek Farm school without any reservations.

★★★★★Susan Purdy

We chose to send our child to Canterbury Creek Farm School because we wanted our child to have a small class size with ample opportunity to learn outdoors while developing stronger interpersonal communication skills and emotional intelligence along with traditional educational goals. We have noticed tremendous growth in all of those areas and our child really enjoys going to school. Additionally, the staff at the school have gone through a tremendous amount of personal hardships this school year and the amount of support and care offered among the staff to support one another is beyond impressive. It's easy to see that Canterbury Creek Farm School is a community and I am confident in the choice to send our child here. I highly recommend CCFS to anyone looking for a preschool.
