Some of the most common inquiries we receive include recommendations for Preschool and Junior Kindergarten options in the Richmond area. The Richmond Mom Collective Team’s children are a diverse mix of public, private, and homeschool. We always suggest asking specific questions in your local community as you will hear straight from other moms their experiences, and of course, we recommend that you research of the schools you are interested in. And of course, we are here to list and highlight some of the incredible education options Richmond has to offer!
Every day your child’s imagination grows and their curiosity gathers momentum. Kiddie Academy of West Creek empowers and celebrates all of it.

“I deliberated for months over where to send our oldest son. Based on recommendations from several area friends we decided on Canterbury. This was in 2010 and we are still a loyal Canterbury family. The director, Miss Mia truly loves the children and makes each of them feel special every day. The teachers are phenomenal and the Open Time concept has been perfect for our kids. I love that they work to foster creativity and imagination in our kids and that they value outdoor play which is so important for kids this age. I cannot say enough great things about the program.” -Canterbury Parent
