Welcome to Cadence Academy Preschool, Ken Caryl! Our goal is to nurture every child who walks in the doors of our daycare center and make the most of these precious early years. We offer children a homelike preschool environment and we take a skill-based approach to early childhood education that allows us to balance intellectual, physical, and emotional development. We are proud to share that we have been voted in the top 3 for Best Preschools of 2021 by the readers of Colorado Parent!
Children have an endless capacity to learn. We believe that the most impactful way to support the development of academic skill is to give children an appropriate level of control over their own learning process. Our teachers provide our students a variety of opportunities to initiate their learning and encourage students to develop curiosity, persistence, and a love of learning!

This approach helps children progressively build valuable skill sets that will serve them in elementary school and beyond!

During the summer months, our school-age children participate in exciting summer programs, which include lots of field trips and educational challenges.

Ms. Michelle
Teacher
I am the lead teacher in Beginners. I joined the Cadence family in 2002. Through my teaching experiences, I have learned many techniques for working with this age group. I love implementing sign language with the children and their parents; it has allowed me to fully incorporate language into my program. I have been selected several times to present workshops on toddler curriculum, and sign language at Cadence training sessions. I completed my group lead qualifications through Community College of Denver. In 2004 I was honored to be named the teacher of the year and mentor teacher. I enjoy many outdoor activities with my husband, Ryan, our son Bryson, our daughter Kyla, and Labrador, Jax. I look forward to getting to know your child and working with you to make your little one’s time in my classroom full of fun and wonderful experiences.

Ms. Julie
Teacher
I am a lead teacher in the infant nursery. I joined Cadence Academy in 2006. Most of my experience has been with infants and toddlers. I also have taken college courses on child growth and development. I am married to my wonderful husband of 15+ years and have twin boys, Alex and Blake, and a stepson, Colton. We love to travel and we love Disney World! We try to go once or twice a year and I hope to someday live by the beach.
