Our Programs

NAEYC Accreditation

NAEYC AccreditationNAEYC 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.

Kaylee Cerruto

Kaylee Cerruto

School Director

I joined Cadence Education in October 2015. I love building strong relationships with families and celebrating the many milestones their children reach along the way. I strive to create a warm, welcoming environment where every parent can feel confident that they’re leaving their child with someone who truly cares—like family. My door is always open, I’m always happy to chat, answer questions, or just say hello.

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.

My oldest was at Cadence for two years and my youngest has been going there since 2020. This place has exceeded my expectations and I would highly recommend it to anyone. I love all the staff that I get to interact with when dropping my daughter off and the management team here is fantastic. They have tons of activities for the kids, an indoor and outdoor playground so the kids can have recess when the weather isn't ideal for outdoor play, several after school activities for the kids and parents throughout the year, excellent software for communicating daily updates to parents like photos and written updates on what your kid is doing that day, and top notch incident reporting should that be needed. Just to address a few of the negative reviews on this place since I've been going to Cadence for 5 years. There was a change in management a couple of years ago and yes there was communication issues and some turnover at the center. However, while I never felt as if my daughter's care was compromised, the lack of communication from management on some basic things and the constant turnover in my daughter's classroom was very frustrating. As of this year though, the original director Kaylee is back and her presence was immediately noticed. Communication is top notch, general organization of the center is much improved, and the amount of center improvement projects is very noticeable. My daughter's last day of preschool is coming up and I am going to miss this place a lot!

Cadence Academy has been nothing short of attentive, respectful and amazing. I don’t have to worry once I drop my child off because I know he will be well taken care of. I recommend this facility to every parent that I can. I am so happy to have found this facility.

You have the hire the best to be the best, and they - are - the BEST! We have been part of the Cadence family for six years now. Both of my children have been through the Cadence experience from the infant room through their incredible Pre-school program that includes a Kindegarten Club to truly prepare students for their transition to elementary school. These teachers are not just babysitters, they are friends; they are family who truly care about my kids emotional and academic growth. There was a moment of transition with directors that caused concern, but Cadence listened and hired a new director that is exceeding expectations for the whole community. All teachers work as a team to create a warm and welcoming environment, going above and beyond in creating meaningful experiences, so I can feel peace of mind that my children are feeling loved and learning during such transformative times in their lives.

Cadence Academy in Burlington has been nothing but great . I never have to worry when I drop my daughter off in the toddler program. Everyone is so nice and friendly, very communicative and I appreciate all the pictures and updates I receive throughout the day. The staff and admin are great with answering questions and keeping families updated on events and monthly happenings. Very greatful for Ashlie, the director, for all her support to make my family feel like apart of the Cadence Family.
