Kind Child

Kind Child Program Logo Kind Child is an important part of our monthly curriculum and the perfect way for us to encourage friendships in our classrooms. We focus on social-emotional skills every month and the development of valuable character traits every two months. We encourage our preschool children to develop a Positive Self-Image and to adopt other traits like Responsibility, Thankfulness, and Respect. We love our Kind Child program because it allows us to elevate the emotional well-being of our students and staff!

I cannot say enough how much we love Cadence Academy! My son started at Cadence in the middle of the pandemic which was just such a stressful time, but they totally put me at ease with the health checks and procedures they had in place. My son is now 3 and has learned so much! He is always coming home with new skills, singing songs, and the emotional/behavioral growth has been huge! Our daughter started attending Cadence at 6 months and she is now 12 months, and she is totally thriving. She is eating solids so well, walking, and using baby signs! We love all the teachers and staff, they are all so knowledgeable, kind, and loving to all the kids. I am so glad we chose to send our kids to Cadence :)

The wife and I have Kindergartener who just started school and I can't emphasize enough how well Cadence Academy I street has prepared her! We feel that she is definitely starting Kindergarten with a leg up. She had learned so much at I street and absolutely loved both of her teachers. We also have a two year old who still attends the school. She loves her teachers and is excited to go to school every day and see them and her friends. She is also learning lots at school and having fun throughout the day. The teachers are great, attentive and take great care of her.

I have boy/girl twins at Cadence Academy I Street, who have been attending since they were six months old. I couldn't imagine sending our children anywhere else! Even during the pandemic when everything was so uncertain, staff and leadership were empathetic with parents about the constant changes. Our children have been learning more than I could have imagined and they come home every day with new skills, including social and emotional skills as well as helping skills, self care skills and language skills. I am grateful everyday for their staff for teaching and caring for our children in a safe, vibrant, inclusive, and diverse environment!
