The early educational experiences children have during their first five years of life shape their general attitude towards future educational opportunities and are instrumental to their intellectual, social, and physical development.

Preschool Programs

Ascend Curriculum

Ascend Curriculum LogoWe’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.

Anna Galindo

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.

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 can't say enough good things about Cadence! We currently have two kids there -- a 4 YO who started when he was 2 and a 2.5 YO who started when she was 15 months. When our oldest started there he had a bit of a hard time adjusting because he was coming from a nanny-share at home with one other younger child. The teachers were caring, patient and supportive, and after a few months he really blossomed and came out of his shell. They also helped us immensely with potty-training which was particularly challenging with our son (Thank you Susana!!). He has since made his way up through several different classrooms and will be starting TK in the fall. His current teacher Racquel is absolutely incredible. It's easy to see how passionate she is about child development and how much she genuinely loves and cares about each of her students. While we will miss her dearly, she is has done so much to prepare him for TK and beyond, and we couldn't be more grateful! Since our youngest started a little earlier, we got to meet a new room of toddler teachers who impressed us so much from day one (Kenzi, Izabelle & Yer). Our daughter wasn't quite walking yet, but they had her up and running within weeks. She often had a hard time with goodbyes in the morning, but the teachers always helped me feel at ease and I knew she would be in great hands. I feel like we were truly spoiled. Beyond out kids' individual classroom experiences, I think the school as a whole is run very well. I've been impressed with the environment and culture in general-- it feels very positive, nurturing and inclusive. Highly recommend!!

My daughter has attended Cadence Academy since she was four months old and I was going back to work full-time. As an anxious first time Mom, the Director Anna and the assistant Director Casandra gave me such reassurance that she would be in good hands! And they were not wrong!! Starting from the infant classroom all the way to the toddler classroom, so far, there has been amazing teachers, the best support and education for my daughter! There’s some days where I am surprised she knows certain shapes, letters, sign language and can count to 20 but the age of 2 years old! We are so lucky we found them and I could seriously list out all of the teachers who have had a positive impact on her on her and they truly care about their students!

I can’t speak highly enough of Cadence Academy and the team at Roseville. My daughter started there at 6 months and it became her home away from home. It gave her such a strong, positive foundation for her daycare/school experience. The teachers there became her second moms and I cried when we moved out-of-state and had to find somewhere new, that honestly can’t come even close. Thank you to the entire team, we miss you so much.
