The first few years of life set the stage for future academic success and the staff at Cadence Academy Preschool, Fayetteville wants to help your family make the most of this wonderful time! We take a skill-based approach to early education that helps young children develop intellectual, physical, and emotional skill through engaging learning activities and we offer a nurturing preschool setting where the whole family can feel at home. The Arkansas Department of Human Services, Division of Child Care and Early Education, has awarded our school the Better Beginnings 2 star rating, demonstrating our commitment to providing the best care and education for your child.

Ascend Curriculum Logo

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 Logo

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.

  • An enhanced security system that monitors our entire preschool,
  • Controlled access to our building through private access codes,
  • Six outdoor play areas that focus on interaction within peer groups in a natural play setting,
  • Rock wall for ages 2 and a half and older,
  • A library and enrichment center,
  • A media center for preschool children, offering the latest technology and a Smart Board.

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!

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.

Our son loves Cadence! His teachers are always engaged with the children. They are always working on fun things in the classroom and we are comforted knowing he is having fun and in good hands.

We are so thankful to be a new member of cadence. We were extremely hesitant to join but immediately felt welcomed when we toured. We cancelled all of our other tours bc we were so impressed by the safety and kindness of everyone around us. We’ve always had a one on one babysitter that’s watched our kids so this was a huge change for us. Our top priority was safety. We feel that they have great systems in place and all work together to make it a welcoming place for kids. We have felt so welcomed by everyone. Ms. Beka has just blown it out of the ballpark with her kindness and proactive perspective. She greets our boy daily with “hi best friend!” Which brings a smile and helps ease into separation from mom and siblings. She’s truly gone above and beyond to help us transition and ease any concerns. When we take him to his class, I love that no one makes us feel rushed or uncomfortable. The teachers are great at giving us space to say goodbye but come quickly to help when the separation from mom gets hard and sad. He loves his teachers and always tells stories about school with a huge smile. We are so thankful to have a place that cares for our child and makes him feel so special.

We have been here for 3 years and have loved it. The teachers have been amazing. The staff is good at communicating if anything happens. I love that I know what is happening during his day and the pictures that they send. They have so many activities that the kids can do and my child has learned so much from being there!
