I cannot say enough good things about Canterbury Creek Farm School. Our family is still new-ish to…read moreGrand Rapids -- we moved here two years ago from Chicago -- and Farm School quickly became like a second family to our 3.5yo son. Born a COVID baby, he has always loved to play independently, but struggled in group situations. The staff and owners are incredibly compassionate and caring -- encouraging our son to play with others, but at his own pace. He has completely come out of his shell over this school year. It has been a joy to see the daily updates on the Brightwheel app (which teachers update during the school day), so that even when I am at work, I can relish in the absolute joy of a time our son is having at school. Time spent outdoors and with the animals is not only great for our high energy boy to blow off steam, but teaches so many life skills (outside of a classroom) that are so necessary to early childhood development. Their approach to early childhood education is incredible -- keeps all the content fun for kids, but with incredible impact. To compare his self-portrait and handwritten name from the beginning to the end of the year is insane! His end of year book brought me to tears -- and made me feel even more blessed to be a part of the Canterbury Creek family. In fact, this morning on our way to drop off, he told me he was so sad that school was over and that he would miss it over the summer. Good thing we will be back for Summer Camp and next school year. I cannot wait to sign up my 2.5yo daughter next!

Its so cool that the kids get a full education here not just for…read morethemselves but for the animals too, it' so important at an early age to make sure kids have respect for all lives and they do with their interaction, feeding and caring for the animals here. Totally unique school, wonderful education, loving and caring instructors and overall a great, first class school all the way around. Our 4 year old daugher was at preschool there and will go again for young fives next year. We will do two summer camps with her and 6 year old sister.

Even with the youngest children, the teachers were always willing to help in anyway possible and giving tips and tricks to help get my kids to eat better and sleep better. I love that they teach sign language but also encourage my toddler to use her words. My three year old loves going there so much and talks about his teachers as his friends. He knows they care about him and that is very important to us. We get daily feedback on both of our children when we pick up our kids. It's so nice to hear a positive thing everyday, even if it is just a small thing like "He really loved singing today". The environment in the building is very welcoming. Teachers in other rooms smile and say hi to my kids even if they aren't in their rooms during the day. We recommend ACLC to friends all the time!

I have both of my children enrolled in the before and after school program at Discovery Days. We've…read morebeen with them for 3 years and I've always found them to be caring and attentive. They're always communicative with any behavior issues that pop up and eager to collaborate with me to find the best way to address them. I have always felt that they genuinely care for my kids and both of my kids love it there. I also love their summer program, they find creative ways to keep the kids busy with field trips and STEM projects. Even letting the kids experiment with taking apart and rebuilding old electronics to see how they work and what else they can create with the parts. Wish I had the opportunity to do that when I was a kid!

When I first called Discovery Days and spoke with the owner, I really felt like I found a home for…read moreour children. The owner claimed that each family that joins becomes part of HER family, and she really becomes involved with each one. About a month after our children began attending Discovery Days, I began to feel just the opposite, that my son was not welcome there. My one-year-old son entered his "biting phase," and the owner and her staff had no idea how to handle it. Instead of adopting new and innovative philosophies to keep my son engaged and moving forward in his development, the owner threatened us with complete expulsion if his behavior did not improve within one week. To underscore her intentions, she sent him home for two days without prior notice, causing us to scramble for alternate care. When she met with us and devised a strategy for his return that we could all agree on, she later decided to renege on her own protocol without warning and removed us from the daycare permanently without just cause. Her explanation was that another family was threatening to approach the licensing board, and she was not interested in being investigated. Consequently, we had five days to find an alternative daycare. I now see that the owner possessed neither the knowledge nor the temperament to cultivate a positive experience for our children.
