Canterbury Day School utilizes the outdoor classroom and teaches children to learn through hands on activities and play. If you're looking for a comprehensive yet unique program, CDS is for you!

Tiny Tots Class resumes this Fall 2026!

Sign up for Murray's best Parent/Child class!

We had an amazing time during our fist year of offering Tiny Tots, and next year promises to be even better!

Tiny Tots is a class for children ages 12-36 months and their adult. It can be a parent, caregiver or grandparent! I will introduce activities to stimulate fun, but a large component of the program will be you interacting with and choosing activities for your child. This is also a great opportunity to meet other parents in our community.

This class will be in 4-week sessions. The one-hour class is $40 for the 4 weeks. Space is limited, so don't wait to sign up!

Here is the application to apply:
