I’ve never trusted a group of strangers so quickly, but the staff here has truly made me and my family feel like we belong. I mean it from the bottom of my heart when I say they've gone above and beyond to make us feel welcome. Before coming to Cadence Academy Preschool, we had a deeply negative experience with our previous daycare provider, so I came here with a lot of concerns. I shared my past experiences with the staff, and not only did they listen attentively, but they also empathized with my worries. They reassured me that they were nothing like the provider we had before, and they’ve proven that every single day since. My son is autistic, with very limited verbal skills and minimal social abilities. From day one, they treated him with nothing but love and acceptance. He was never excluded from activities, never isolated because of his challenges. Instead, the staff poured so much love and patience into him, helping him grow in ways I never thought possible. They made sure he felt like he was just as important as every other child in the room. Thanks to their care, my son has blossomed. He now plays with other children and his communication skills have expanded so much. I honestly can't express enough how much they've done for him not just teaching him, but truly showing him kindness and understanding. The love they’ve poured into him is immeasurable, and it’s something I will always be grateful for.
My granddaughter has been attending this amazing school for the past 7 months and I have nothing but good things to say about this school. Initial introduction with Ms. Jehnna (Director) was warming and welcoming. The class size is great, the teachers are very attentive and always have fun activities planned for the kids. When I pick up, there are smiles and happy kids running around which warms my heart. We know that when there are no tears either on drop off or pick up, this team is doing their job and doing it well. Please keep up the good work, great personalities, homey feel of the building and all that it takes to make our babies happy. Thanks again
I just thought it was time to review the daycare since we've been with them for over a year now. I'm so impressed. I was afraid of sending my kiddo to school because he had a bit of a rough start at our last daycare. My child has grown leaps and bounds with Cadence's care. We love all of his teachers, and we know that all of the teachers and staff love him. Sometimes drop off is hard, but most days, he doesn't even want to leave school! We almost have to convince him that he'll be back again to play with his best buds. We really appreciate that everyone has great communication with us, and we love hearing the stories he has to tell. He has impressed us over and over again with knowing his numbers, letters, colors, shapes, animals, and his story telling capabilities for a 3 year old are very impressive. They've even made potty training a breeze! (HUGE THANK YOU) He's always been smart, but I can strongly say that Cadence's teachers have helped support him in his growth and have helped nurture him to be a kind and polite little kiddo. Thank you!
Our family absolutely loves this center. The staff is incredible and the classroom setting, including the educational curriculum, is top notch. My child adores every single staff member and is so excited to be dropped off daily. When I pick him up in the afternoon he is in such a happy mood and I can tell he's had a good day. I've seen the staff interact with kids in my child's classroom along with the other classes and you can tell they really love working with the kids. My child has learned a lot since he's started here and I've seen improvements in his developments including growth in potty training. My child stayed home with me for the first few years of his life and I was really hesitant and nervous about sending him to a pre-school, but once we started here we were definitely happy with the decision. Both my child and I love everything about this center and we're so grateful for the staff who make it such a welcoming place to be.
My child has been attending since about January/February of this and at first we had no issues. Smiling faces in the morning, warm greetings but the facade quickly faded. My daughter has repeatedly come home with bruises and scratches from a very specific individual. The director, Shelby, consistently tells me she’ll “check the cameras” and get back to me. None of that ever happened and the same child that terrorizes my little girl still attends the school. He’s put his hands on her, stolen her items from her, and just overall made her not want to go into her classroom. I’m consistently told “we’ll look into it” but it’s never been looked into. There’s been more than one incident I’ve learned from second hand about incidents where I never signed an incident report. On top of that, they pay their teachers a whopping .26 cents more than minimum wage AFTER raising tuition a couple hundred dollars and for what? There’s been no increase in the quality of meals, the classrooms look the same, and now you can’t even staff a facility because of it all. “Competitive benefits” don’t mean a whole lot if your whole staff can’t afford to make ends meet. If it weren’t for the welcoming staff and the teachers and their assistants, I probably would’ve pulled my daughter long ago.
