2023-2024 Class information:

Multi-age Classroom 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.
