Canterbury Academy

"I have been here at Canterbury Academy for a little over a year now and love the work atmosphere. I feel included and part of a team that strives to support each other. Here at Canterbury we are like a family, and that is how we treat each other. I feel appreciated by Holly and Paige. They go above and beyond to make sure their staff feels appreciated. They care about your health and have the ability to take care of yourself if needed. Here you would get a birthday card signed by your co-workers and a small personalized gift of appreciation from Holly and Paige. Not only are the directors amazing but so are our parents. I would highly recommend working here just based on the fact that you won't find any place that goes above and beyond like here at Canterbury!"

"Ever since we enrolled our child at Canterbury post-pandemic, he has thrived!! The directors, teachers and students in his class are all extraordinary people. The directors have implemented spirit weeks to continue to make school even more fun, the teachers make class time fun with new themes every week and lots of fresh air when the weather cooperates, and all of the students have been fun to have in class. Our son always has stories of his favorite joke of the day, what made him laugh or what he learned. On top of fulfilling the biggest piece for me, making learning fun, Canterbury staff and parents have done well staying safe throughout the pandemic. We stay informed on what to expect, what is changing and what to do if exposed, which has not been as frequent as other parents in my circle. I absolutely and always recommend Canterbury at Briarcliff to new parents or anyone looking for a new pre-school."

"When looking for a place to send our two year old, we wanted somewhere that would engage with her, keep the tv away, help her learn to live a healthy lifestyle, and would be a safe place for her. Canterbury in Briarcliff has been that and more. We love the teachers, the staff, and the environment created by all those involved. Our daughter is so excited to go to school and is a fantastic outlet for her, especially during this pandemic. We'll be sending all our future children to this school."

"My family and I recently relocated to KC a few months ago. Picking the right daycare for our son was by far the most important task on our list. We are pleased to say we made the right choice! Canterbury Academy is an amazing place! Very clean with great staff and very welcoming. My son has been going to Canterbury Academy for some time now and has shown great improvement in his speech and problem-solving ability. I couldn’t ask for a better daycare! Canterbury has an amazing staff with so much heart and a caring mindset. The teachers make an effort to engage the kids and develop them in a very individualized way. The management is committed to providing a safe, fun, and loving environment. We’re very thankful for his teachers Mrs. Brouse and Ms. Melanie. The Director of Holly and Assistant Director Paige cares about the children and works with the parents. Holly has a passion for what she does and it shows daily. I would recommend this daycare to other parents."

"We have been at Canterbury for four months and my two year old daughter LOVES it! The facility is always very clean. The communication between parents and teachers is wonderful. We are thrilled with the sensory and art projects we see our daughter doing. We are so happy to see the balance between learning time and play time. Canterbury is helping our daughter learn and grow. I highly recommend Canterbury Academy at Briarcliff."
