Our Programs

NAEYC Accreditation

The National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC) has set 10 standards for early childhood programs to help families looking for a child care center or preschool. These standards define what NAEYC believes all programs should provide. Maintaining accreditation requires our preschool to meet or exceed criteria in 10 standards including Curriculum, Teaching, Health, Staff Competencies, Families, Physical Environment, and Community Relationships.

Our Team

Corey Nickson

Assistant Director

After spending 6 years in the fire department, I started as a teacher assistant and obtained my head teacher certificate to become a preschool head teacher. I then became a program manager for a before and after school program before becoming an Assistant Director. Early childhood education is the foundation for everything – the way a child thinks, plays, learns, and interacts with the world. I’m excited to join the team and look forward to watching all the children grow and develop. In my free time, I love coaching youth flag football, shopping, watching the New England Patriots, dancing, writing and hanging out with my friends and family.

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.

Daycare Review My husband & I are happy to recommend Cadence Academy Farmington. Our daughter began attending at 2 months old & will be celebrating her 3rd birthday soon. While there has been quite a bit of turnover in staff, every caregiver has consistently demonstrated exceptional care and a genuine commitment to the children's well-being. They go above and beyond to ensure safety while creating a nurturing environment. The current staff is BEYOND AMAZING! The director Melissa is a great leader, communicating effectively with parents and being very receptive to feedback. She brings a fresh perspective to the center, emphasizing early childhood development through engaging and fun activities that involve the whole family. It's heartwarming to see how much the staff cares, and we feel confident knowing our daughter is in such compassionate hands.

I was so nervous to start daycare with my 11 month old who had been home with me for almost a year, but Mrs. Michelle and Ms. Jona made it so welcoming and such an easy transition. Now our daughter loves going to school and we love knowing she is at such a caring and loving space!

Melissa, the director, is stellar. She is child centered and family oriented. She communicates regularly and gets to know the children. Teachers provide regular updates via an app and they are easily accessible to talk with. The teachers are friendly, loving and engaging. The curriculum is robust, the school includes outside programs to come in and work with the children and the children get outside all year round.

We’ve been with Cadence Academy since my son was 2, and now at 4, he’s thriving in Pre-K! The teachers are outstanding, and Crystal, his Pre-K teacher, is the best at preparing him for kindergarten. Malissa, the director, is incredibly helpful and has a heart of gold. My son loves going to school, and we couldn't be happier with our experience. Highly recommend!
