Parent Reviews
We have called Canterbury our kids’ second home for over three years. We started at Canterbury Preparatory School, then when we relocated and decided to move to Small Beginnings. We felt welcome the minute we walked in, and have felt that way ever since. Liz and Jackie are a great team who have all the answers, are quick to help out, and always have smiles on their faces. With our youngest in the two-year old room, we are grateful to have full reports each day about how he ate, slept, played, and what new activity he found. Our children have grown attached to their teachers and feel loved from the minute they wave hello to the minute they hug goodbye. The kids have a constant routine, but with enough variety to keep them engaged and ready to learn. Our son enjoys the front office staff, teachers in nearby classrooms, and the rest of the team – Canterbury does a great job hiring wonderful and caring educators. He also likes to tell us all about Ms. Trish and the delicious meals she preps for all the kids each day. He remembers lunch time very well. From classroom parties, to crafts (even the really messy ones!), to the new songs my kids come home singing, this has been a delightful place to help grow our kids and we would recommend it to anyone looking for a reliable, safe, fun, and caring provider for their family.
Have been very pleased with small beginnings and all of there staff.. we started out at Canterbury with preschool and kindergarten and moved over to small beginnings for first grade and have been nothing but please.
via cadence-education.comWe recently moved from SoCal and wanted to find a school that mirrored the one our daughter was in prior to the move. Our daughter had a pretty good adjustment but on the mornings she was feeling shy, Ms Liz and Ms Jackie would comfort her as if she were their own. The entire staff at Cantebury Small Beginnings is warm and welcoming when we walk through the doors. I am so happy we have found this school. I look forward to watching our daughter develope her love for learning over the next couple of years.
