Ascend Curriculum
We’re committed to providing our students individualized education experiences that continually prepare them for their next stage of development. Our skill-based Ascend Curriculum provides our teachers a flexible framework for instruction and is designed to help our children reach important milestones within a wide variety of subject areas such as Literacy, Science & Sensory, Technology, Physical Fitness, and Cultural Understanding every month.
Skills are taught at a challenging pace and our goal is to recognize where each child is on a particular skill and take them to the next step without comparing their learning pace to others in their classroom. The activities within the Ascend Curriculum can be modified to the interests and current skill level of each student so everyone is engaged, supported, challenged, and having fun!
Partnering with Our Parents
We believe that preschool children thrive when there is a strong partnership between school and home. We have a family-friendly atmosphere at our preschool and we regularly invite families and the community in for events. Some of our favorites are the Harvest Feast, Week of the Young Child in April, and our annual Trike-A-Thon, which supports St. Jude’s Children’s Research Hospital.
We have an open door policy at our preschool center and parents are welcome to visit their children anytime. We also offer a number of communication pieces so you can stay up-to-date with your child’s day and their overall developmental progress.

Cassandra Spell
School Director
Cassandra Spell has dedicated her career to helping children grow, learn, and thrive. Her passion began at 14 when she volunteered at a summer camp and continued through years of working in before- and after-school programs, eventually leading her to study Early Childhood Education and Child Development at Sierra College and Sacramento State University. She later joined Cadence, where she’s loved supporting children, families, and teachers every day.
Outside of school, Cassandra enjoys spending time with her family, taking nature walks with their dog, and vacationing in Lake Tahoe, Pismo Beach, and Disneyland. She also loves crafting and decorating for the holidays and believes that open communication and teamwork help create a warm, welcoming community for every family.
Alex Kingkade
Teacher of the Year
One of my favorite parts of teaching is witnessing the “lightbulb moment”—when a child figures something out on their own and it finally clicks. It’s truly magical! I’ve been working in early childhood education since 2015 and earned my Bachelor’s degree. Throughout my time here, I’ve built lasting friendships with the families and coworkers at Cadence—it’s truly my home away from home. In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with my family, trying new restaurants, and diving into anything artsy. I love drawing, painting, and getting messy with creative projects!

I started my teaching career in 1997 in Delaware, teaching 5th, 6th and 2nd grade before the birth of my son Jaden, in 2006. I have been teaching in Early Childhood Education since 2010 and I have been at this school since 2013. I have my Bachelor of Arts in English/ Journalism from the University of Delaware and my Masters in Education from Wilmington University. I enjoy spending time with my son, family, and friends.
Paula Tamayo

I have worked at this school since 2001 and I have been in this field for 35 years! I am married with 2 grown boys and a dog. In my spare time I love watching cooking shows and reading books. I also really enjoy watching NASCAR racing, go #99. Children have always been what I love best and I am so happy to have touched a part of our future.
