Getting To Our Preschool
Our Fayetteville center is located at 4195 W Persimmon St, Fayetteville, AR 72704, near the intersection of N Broyles Ave and W Persimmon St, just off W Wedington Dr. We are located near Centennial Park at Millsap Mountain, Gary Hampton Softplex, and Owl Creek School, making it easy to plan a playdate or family outing right after school.
Our convenient location near Highway 16 and I-49 also means smoother morning and evening commutes for busy parents heading toward downtown Fayetteville or the University of Arkansas campus.
Ascend Curriculum
Thanks to the flexibility of our Ascend Curriculum, we take an individualized approach to early childhood education and encourage every child to progress towards age-appropriate goals at their natural pace. New skills are introduced sequentially in 9 different learning domains each month and activities are modified to fit the interests and current skill level of each child. This skill-based approach to early education ensures that every child feels engaged, supported, and challenged and makes learning fun!
Kind Child Program
Another significant part of our curriculum is our Kind Child program. Kind Child is a year-long program for children ages two and older that helps our teachers nurture and strengthen every child’s social and emotional skills. We have found that when we focus on the emotional well-being of each child in our care, we strengthen our school as well. We are confident that Kind Child will continue to strengthen the culture of our entire preschool center by elevating every child’s feelings of happiness, improving their well-being, and enriching their friendships.
Our Child Care Center Features:
- An enhanced security system that monitors our entire preschool,
- Controlled access to our building through private access codes,

Tonia Harbour
School Director
I started in childcare over 20 years ago. I wanted to spend more time with my own children, so I opened my own home daycare. I came to Cadence to enroll my youngest child, who is now 16, and ended up working full-time starting the next day. I worked my way up over the years from Assistant Teacher to now Director. I have been here for 13 years and do not plan on going anywhere anytime soon! Cadence is my home away from home! I cherish the opportunity to nurture children during the most important years of their development. It is so rewarding to watch their personalities grow and know that we are playing a part in helping spark a love of learning that can last a lifetime. When I’m not at work, I like to hang out at home with my family and enjoy my cats and my plants too!
Rebekah Kauffman
Assistant Director
Rebekah Kauffman discovered her love for early childhood education back in high school while completing classroom observations. She officially began working in childcare in 2014 and joined Cadence the following year. What she enjoys most is watching children grow, achieve new goals, and giving families peace of mind knowing their little ones are thriving.
Outside of school, Rebekah loves spending time with her husband, their three children, and two bonus kids. She also enjoys reading, writing, cooking, and hiking. She is excited to continue her journey with Cadence and looks forward to building strong connections with families.
