This location has wonderful staff. They definitely communicate well with me about my toddler and all his needs. It has been wonderful having my son at a place where staff cares so much about the care and needs of each child. Last week was also MVP week and they did a lovely job especially spreading the word of stopping child abuse with wrist bands and pins.
My son started at Cadence in 2017. They were awesome with him and worked with his above average needs later on and it was great. Gail was the director when he started and it was wonderful. Years later my daughter is smart as a whip but needs special attention. Lately all I hear is excuses about ratios rather than how they schedule appropriately. All they care about these days seems to be how they can save money and send home 'difficult' kids with a mind of their own. I used to love this place. These days I'm looking for something better
Making the decision to enroll out son at Cadence, has been the best decision we could’ve made for him. Mrs. Laura and Mrs. Angel are so attentive to details, and truly make you feel like your child is their top priority! After transitioning from staying with grandma, then to an in-home daycare, we were not sure how our son would adapt to the larger classroom sizes but it has been so wonderful for him! His teachers make him feel so welcome and know just how to cheer him up every morning at drop off. By the time I pick him up everyday he has the biggest smile on his face and his teachers are always so eager to tell me about how great his day was. Thank you Cadence for all that you do, from the teachers in the classroom to the behind the scene staff that make it run smoothly. We are so happy and fortunate to have found a school as great as this!
Both of my children started in the infant room there and my daughter is about to start school and she is MORE THAN prepared for school because of Gateway. My son is in the toddler room and has been there almost 2 years and runs into his room everyday bc he loves it there. The teachers are wonderful and I have never questioned whether or not my children feel loved. They make every child feel special and Gail, the director, makes sure to keep good communication with parents and is very hands on in the classrooms too. The school is constantly being improved and what my kids have gotten from Gateway is something money can't buy. I would highly recommend them to anyone. There are too many great people there to name! Love this place!!
We have loved Cadence Academy from the moment we toured it! The waitlist is absolutely worth the wait! This was my daughters first actual experience with a daycare and she started at 18 months old. They made the transition very easy for our family with the frequent updates/pictures sent through their app! My daughter has learned so much and is speaking 100 times more than she was when we started. They also have a crazy amount of activities lined up for the kids (even the toddlers) this summer! We are thankful for you all and always know our daughter is in the best care each and every day!
