We offer a unique, research-directed curriculum for infants, toddlers, and preschoolers, as well as special programs for school-age kids.

Parents and children love the warm, homey environment at Cadence Academy Preschool. Smiling teachers and staff greet families each morning, even comforting little ones who aren’t ready to part from their mommies and daddies for the day.

Classrooms are cozy and inviting, offering colorful, appealing, and age-appropriate toys and equipment. Perhaps kids love the playground the most because the world around them is often as vivid as their burgeoning imaginations.

Our Team

Ana Solis

Ana Solis

School Director

I started my journey in childcare education 20 years ago as a teacher. Before taking the position of Director I served as the assistant director for 18 years. It has been a privilege for me to serve the children and families of our community all these years. I am a firm believer that children don’t remember what you teach them. They remember what you are. It is my mission to make sure to create a safe, nurturing, and stimulating environment for children to grow.

When I am away from work, I enjoy spending quality time with my children. I have a daughter and three sons that range from ages 6-22 years of age. We enjoy family dinners together, playing board games and traveling when we can. Our favorite place to visit is the beach! Along with my children, I come from a large extended family who are the foundation of my being.

Desiree Alvarez

Assistant Director

I started working in early childhood education in 2009 as an Infant Teacher. In 2016, I was promoted to a Program Specialist and then to a Assistant Director in 2018. What I like most about early childhood education is being able to make an impact in young children’s lives. Building strong foundations for children is important for their success. Each day is unique and a new adventure!

In my free time, I like spending time with my children and family. We enjoy watching movies together and trying new places to eat. We also enjoy taking family vacations. Disneyland is one of our favorite places to go as a family! My hobbies include watching U of A Men’s Basketball and playing cards. I also enjoy having family game nights!

Victoria Garner

Teacher of the Year

Hi, I’m Victoria Garner, Lead Teacher for the Seahorse class. I’ve worked in early childhood education for 23 years and love being part of the growth and development that happens at this age—especially watching little ones reach exciting milestones. My favorite age group is the two-year-olds because everything is new, and they’re so eager to learn. In my free time, I enjoy reading, hiking, swimming, and spending time with my family. I believe in making every moment count—children grow up fast, and our joy helps their young minds grow happy and strong.

Accreditations

NAEYC Accreditation

Every child deserves access to high-quality early learning experiences. NAEYC (National Association for the Education of Young Children) has set 10 standards for early childhood programs that can help families make the right choice when they are looking for a child care center, preschool, or kindergarten. The standards and criteria are also the foundation of the NAEYC Accreditation system for early childhood programs. To earn NAEYC Accreditation, schools must go through an extensive self-study and quality-improvement process, followed by an on-site visit by NAEYC Assessors to verify and ensure that the program meets each of the ten program standards, and hundreds of corresponding individual criteria. NAEYC-accredited programs are always prepared for unannounced quality-assurance visits during their accreditation term, which lasts for five years. In the 30 years since NAEYC Accreditation was established, it has become a widely recognized sign of high-quality early childhood education. More than 7,000 programs are currently accredited by NAEYC—less than 10 percent of all child care centers, preschools, and kindergartens nationally achieve this recognition.

Best preschool I have ever been to! All staff members are so amazing and kind to the children, my child loves it he has such a great time playing with all the kids and staff here and always is so happy to tell me about all the wonderful things he did that day. I can’t thank all the staff members here enough for all that they do for not only my child but every single child that goes here, they are in the best hands ever & receiving the best care. Staff will always go above and beyond and really take pride in what they do and as a parent that’s a blessing. I am beyond grateful that I have finally found our forever preschool that my son wakes up excited to go to every single morning Thank you all so very much!

New to the center and what a joy it has been! My children absolutely love coming here. They were so excited with the trunk or treat they just hosted, it was so much fun. Such a great place, with great staff.

This is our first experience with daycare, we’re first time parents and we were fortunate to have our son at home until he was 15 months then we started here. It’s like a second family. We love it here! The teachers are so friendly and they all seem to love our son. He’s moved up to different rooms as he’s gotten older and all his old teachers still say hi and greet us! He has made so many friends, learned songs, stories, and they do so many activities we’re always bringing home projects! Whenever I have a question or concern, even if it seems silly they never make it feel that way, they’re understanding and kind. Kids are hard and I’m sure this job is not easy but they all seem to enjoy it! Thank you for everything!

My baby has been coming here for almost 2 months now. I almost wrote a review earlyon but I'm so glad I waited. I'd say the first month was rough. She hated it, I didn't know if this place was the reason or if it was her being too sensitive since it was her first time being away from mommy as a 12 month old. At first I didn't feel the warmness or didn't really know how attentive the teachers were or if this was even worth the price. Let me tell you what I think now. Give it a chance if you have any doubt! This place is actually very top notch. It's a well kept, beautiful facility. Everyone works to keep it clean inside & outside of the rooms. You have so many perks coming here. You get constant eyes with the cameras and get awesome updates with the app. Everything is included like the napper, food & milk & any activities they do. The food offered is fresh, healthy & is constantly changing. Anytime I have ever had a concern I would call & they immediately fixed it. They always have cute activities for the babies & fun ways to include parents for different events. I can't imagine going anywhere else now. My baby learned to be independent here & I see her actually enjoying herself now. The teachers are very loving. They cared if she was happy or not which means everything to me. I'm so glad to see a bond now. I can finally be at peace knowing she is so well taken care of while I work. Thank you miss Arianna, Sydney, Andrea & Heather. We are very happy & love seeing our baby smile & recieve all the love, affection & attention you give.
