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.

Our Team

Anna Galindo
School Director
I began working with children in 2008 and stepped into the role of Lead Preschool Teacher in 2015. During my time in the classroom, I developed strong classroom management skills and built lasting relationships with both students and their families. My passion for early childhood education stems from the opportunity to support children during their most critical and foundational years. I find great joy in helping them grow socially, emotionally, and academically, and I feel truly rewarded watching them reach new milestones. As I advanced in my career, I discovered how much I enjoy collaborating more closely with teachers and families across the center. It’s incredibly fulfilling to see staff members build meaningful relationships with their classrooms, just as I did as a teacher. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my family. We love visiting the zoo, attending Sacramento Republic soccer games, and going camping. I also enjoy baking, listening to podcasts, traveling, and playing board games.

Cassandra Spell
Assistant Director
I began working with children in 2003 as a high school counselor in a before-and after-school program. Over the years, l’ve had the opportunity to work with school-age children, and in 2013, I began my journey at Cadence as a two’s teacher. Since then, l’ve taught in the two’s, three’s, and infant classrooms. My time at Cadence has been incredibly rewarding, and I’m proud to now serve as an Assistant Director. Early childhood education is a crucial stepping stone in life because it lays the foundation for lifelong learning, social skills, and emotional development. It nurtures curiosity through play-based learning and supports brain development during critical early years. In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my family. I love traveling, going to the beach, visiting Disneyland, and reading a good book.

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!

Racquel Madson

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
Teacher
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.
