About Cadence Academy Preschool in Pine Meadow, CT
Cadence Academy Preschool promises to provide a stimulating, loving, and inclusive environment that benefits the child, their caregivers & our community!
Our Preschool Program
We designed our program to provide an inclusive, stimulating, loving and home-like environment. In turn which benefits the child, their caregivers, and our community. Our program works to enhance your child’s self-esteem, encourage their self learning skills, develop social skills, and stimulate learning. All while building on their speech and language development and challenging their motor skills.
Child Centered
We challenge sensory, motor, perceptual and language skills through all kinds of materials and different hands on activities. Both of which are child-centered and teacher directed.
Learning By Playing
Work is planned emphasizing the process rather than the product. Based on the theory that children learn through playing and from new experiences, their classroom activities are varied! They include a balance of structure, free choice, indoor and outdoor play, active and quiet times. Teachers who help your children learn, grow, & explore Our family of teachers at Cadence Academy Preschool strive to make your child a priority, and help our school feel more like a home.

Our Team
Katelyn Zeitler
School Director
In 2012, I walked through the doors of Cadence Academy for the very first time—and from that moment on, it became my home away from home.
What began as a teaching position quickly grew into something so much more: a deep-rooted love for our school, our families, our community, and most of all, our children.
I am one of the few people in the world who walks out of their job on a Friday and genuinely thinks, “I can’t wait to go back on Monday.”
For over a decade, this school has lived in the center of my heart. When I made the transition from being a classroom teacher to stepping into the role of Director, it was a bittersweet change. In the classroom, my impact reached my group of children each day. Now, as Director, it is my greatest hope that I uplift and inspire our teachers—so that through them, I can touch the lives of every child in our care.
With all the gratitude in my heart, I thank our teachers for creating the magic and memories that will stay with our children for a lifetime. Your passion, patience, and dedication turn everyday moments into lasting impressions.
It is a true privilege to serve as Director of this school. Thank you to each and every one of our incredible teachers who continue to fill our days with joy, love, and purpose. You are the heart of Cadence Academy, and I am so proud to walk alongside you.
