    Unprofessional Communication and Severe Lack of Accountability…read more I recently withdrew my son from this facility after only eight days due to persistent communication failures, unprofessional staff behavior, and a concerning lack of leadership from management. Our issues began with inconsistent and directly contradictory updates regarding my son's transition and naptime behavior--with one teacher stating he was adjusting well while another reported severe distress. To address this, we held a formal meeting with the director and his teacher. A clear plan was established for staff to send brief daily updates regarding naptime. However, over the following week, staff completely failed to follow through on these agreed-upon updates. When I followed up in person to ask about my son's day, one teacher remarked, "Oh geez, she found us." This level of blatant disrespect toward a paying parent seeking basic communication about their child's well-being is unacceptable. When I brought this unprofessional comment and the lack of communication to the director, I was promised a follow-up call on Monday. After waiting until 4:00 PM with no contact, I had to visit the facility in person, only to be told the director was too busy to reach out. More alarming was the response to my concerns: - The director stated she could not guarantee that staff would not treat my son differently following my complaint, nor could she guarantee that moving him to another classroom would help, as teachers may have already "talked amongst themselves." - While internal disciplinary actions were mentioned, no effective solutions or assurances were provided to ensure my son's safety, emotional care, or fair treatment while remaining in a classroom with the staff member who displayed open hostility toward us, as the director also expressed concerns over teachers treating a child differently if made upset. - No explanation was ever offered for why staff failed to follow the staff-approved communication plan or why unprofessional comments were made. As a parent, my priority is ensuring my child is in a safe, transparent, and respectful environment. If a facility cannot guarantee basic equal treatment for a student or maintain professional communication with parents, they should not be trusted with child care. We could no longer in good conscience keep our child enrolled here.TL;DR : Inconsistent/Conflicting Updates, No Guarantee of Fair Treatment from teachers to kids, No Reassurance or Actionable Solutions, and Zero Accountability.

    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!

    We love Canterbury Creek. 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.
