NAEYC Accreditation
NAEYC Accreditation requires us to meet or exceed a rigorous set of standards beyond those required by the State of Connecticut. A nationally trained team of inspectors spent several days in each program reviewing all aspects of the curriculum, teacher qualifications, teacher-child interactions, parent communications, and management. It takes at least a year to earn accreditation, which must be maintained through annual reporting, unannounced visits, and emerging standards.

At Cadence Academy Preschool, we work each day to create a healthy, happy, and safe childcare environment based upon positive reinforcement and respect. We provide:
- A physically and emotionally safe environment

Our Team
Kaylee Cerruto
School Director
I have been with the company since 2015, and over the years, my greatest passion has been building strong, trusting relationships with families. I love celebrating each milestone the children reach and being a part of their growth and development. My goal is to create an environment where families feel completely at ease—like they’re dropping their child off with family. I want every parent to know their child is cared for, supported, and genuinely loved each day.
Cecelia Woolsey
Teacher of the Year
Cecelia (Cece, Celia) Woolsey is the Toddler One teacher and the recipient of the 2026 Teacher of the Year award. Prior to entering the childcare field, Cece attended Westfield State University in Westfield, Massachusetts, where she studied Special Education, and she hopes to one day return to school to complete her degree. Cece considers it a privilege to work with the youngest learners in her care, and she has built a classroom centered on joy, curiosity, and connection — whether it’s enjoying a buggy ride, taking nature walks, or spotting birds and airplanes outside.
Cece finds deep fulfillment in watching her students reach their milestones, especially the moment their faces light up after mastering something they have worked hard to learn. She is equally grateful for the families she works alongside, noting that their kindness during daily drop-offs and pick-ups brightens her days. Outside of work, Cece enjoys spending time with her family and boyfriend, visiting her dog nephew Mac, and staying active by playing soccer and spending time outdoors.
Let me know her last name whenever you have it, and I’ll update the bio.
Accreditations
NAEYC Accreditation
Every child deserves access to high-quality early learning experiences. NAEYC (National Association for the Education of Young Children) has set 10 standards for early childhood programs that can help families make the right choice when they are looking for a child care center, preschool, or kindergarten. The standards and criteria are also the foundation of the NAEYC Accreditation system for early childhood programs. To earn NAEYC Accreditation, schools must go through an extensive self-study and quality-improvement process, followed by an on-site visit by NAEYC Assessors to verify and ensure that the program meets each of the ten program standards, and hundreds of corresponding individual criteria. NAEYC-accredited programs are always prepared for unannounced quality-assurance visits during their accreditation term, which lasts for five years. In the 30 years since NAEYC Accreditation was established, it has become a widely recognized sign of high-quality early childhood education. More than 7,000 programs are currently accredited by NAEYC—less than 10 percent of all child care centers, preschools, and kindergartens nationally achieve this recognition.
