2023-2024 Class information:
Canterbury Creek Farm School is pleased to offer a multi-age environment for children ages 3-5 to learn and grow on our beautiful farm. Our program focuses on the social/emotional, cognitive, and fine/gross motor skills needed to prepare our students for Kindergarten. Our teacher to student ratio is 9:1, which allows us to teach to the level of each individual student. We believe that children often learn best from one another. Younger children enjoy watching our older students work on advanced, challenging work and this inspires them! They look to the older children for guidance, and the older children have the opportunity to serve as mentors and take on leadership roles.
Multi-age Preschool/ Young 5’s
We are pleased to offer a Young 5’s program in a multi-age preschool setting. This program is aimed to ensure Kindergarten readiness for our older students who are Kindergarten bound while also enjoying the benefits of a multi-age classroom inside and outside. In this setting, a “lead” teacher is in charge of a “small group” of 9 students with opportunities throughout the day for children to be grouped with another small group containing multi-aged preschool students. This program is developmentally designed to improve children’s abilities in the following areas: cognitive, social skills, fine motor, gross motor, and language skills. This group will have a 9:1 student to teacher ratio.
Traditional Young Fives:
This Young 5’s program is a “bridge” between 4 year old preschool and Kindergarten. This program is aimed to ensure Kindergarten readiness for our older students who are Kindergarten bound and who are 5 or will turn 5 by Feb. 1st, 2024. This program is developmentally designed to improve children’s abilities in the following areas: cognitive, social skills, fine motor, gross motor, and language skills. Students who participate in this program are also able to enjoy the benefits of a multi-age environment outside. Inside, these students will have their own classroom and will remain with their small group. This group will have a 12:1 student to teacher ratio.

2023-2024 Enrollment Policy and Conditions:
- Returning families have first priority and then we fill the remaining class spaces with new enrollments.
- Enrollment opened November 8th, 2022 for the 2023-2024 school year.
- The date and time that the online registration is received will determine the eventual order of class placement. Therefore, it is to your advantage to register online as early as possible.
- Once a class is filled, any further enrollment requests for that class are placed on a “wait list,” continuing in the order received. Please be assured that past enrollment history consistently shows we have been able to successfully place the strong majority of “wait listed” enrollees every year. If you have the flexibility to indicate alternate class choices, your placement chances improve.
- After class placements have been made, you will receive a confirmation email along with an invoice to pay for your $70 registration fee (non-refundable, non applicable to tuition) along with the May 2024 tuition deposit ($250.00 for 2 day/week classes; $350.00 for 3 day/week classes; $585.00 for 5 day/week classes). You will have a week to make a payment on Brightwheel. If we do not receive your payment we will remove your child’s name from the roster.
- The tuition deposit is applied to May, 2024 OR the last month your child attends Canterbury, providing we receive a 60 day notice of the planned withdrawal. **For withdrawals prior to the start of classes in September, 2023, your tuition deposit amount will only be refunded provided the Director is notified by email of the withdrawal prior to May 1, 2023.
- If your child is “wait listed,” we will send you a confirmation email and send an invoice to pay for the $70 registration fee but will wait to charge you for the May 2024 deposit until your child is placed in a class.
