Cadence Academy Preschool

We absolutely love Cadence Academy! Two of my children (a 4-year-old and a 16-month-old) attend, and I truly cannot say enough good things about the care and attention they receive each day. Cadence (formerly Anna & Jacks) went through some growing pains during the ownership transition, but now that the dust has settled the changes have been overwhelmingly positive. The new Director is fantastic—warm, communicative, and clearly passionate about creating a nurturing and enriching environment for the kids. She and the staff truly go above and beyond. The teachers are all wonderful—caring, engaged, and genuinely invested in each child’s development. It’s clear they take pride in what they do, and it shows in how happy my kids are to go to school each day. From jiu-jitsu and Spanish to soccer, music, art, and more—there’s always something fun and educational happening. The staff also puts so much effort into making each day special, with creative events, seasonal celebrations, and little touches that make a big difference. Plus they provide food which is HUGE for a working mom of 3! Would highly recommend it to any family looking for a warm, safe, and engaging place for their little ones to learn and grow!

I visit this preschool once a week for Birth to Three services, and every time I walk through the doors, I’m greeted with such warmth and kindness. The staff is truly incredible—so caring, patient, and genuinely invested in each child’s growth and happiness. You can tell how much they love what they do, and that joy really shines through in the classroom. The children are always smiling, engaged, and well-behaved, which speaks volumes about the nurturing environment the teachers create. It’s such a happy, welcoming place where kids are encouraged to explore, learn, and have fun.

We are very satisfied that our granddaughter is in Cadence Academy, Fivemile River. She comes home a happy child, learns a new poem/song or narrates a story about her day at school. The cleanliness of the surroundings, healthy food served to the children and the loving and caring staff keeps us ‘worry free’. The curriculum is all encompassing: academic, art and music, social, cultural aspects are given equal importance. This is a HAPPY PLACE!!

Our daughter started at daycare (when it was previously Anna and Jacks) at 4 months old and will be starting pre-k 3 at Cadence next year. Her teachers have had such a positive impact on her development and growth, it has been incredible to watch her come home each day with a new word, new color, new letter, etc!
