About Cadence Academy Preschool in Ridgefield

Welcome to Cadence Academy Preschool, Ridgefield! Known previously as The Children’s Corner, we changed our name to Cadence Academy Preschool in March 2018 as part of our center’s ongoing commitment to give your child the best early educational experiences we can. Being a part of the Cadence Education Family of Schools gives us access to preschool programming such as Kindergarten Club, Kind Child, and the Ascend Curriculum. These programs help us create a preschool environment where children thrive!

We are located on a beautiful piece of property across from Seth Low Pierrepont State Park in Ridgefield, CT. We have designed our spacious, light-filled childcare center to stimulate learning while also providing a loving, nurturing environment. If you’re looking for daycare services for your infant or toddler or you want our preschool teachers to start working with your child on their cognitive, social, or emotional development, you’ve come to the right place!

Preschool & Childcare Programs

Ascend Curriculum

Ascend Curriculum LogoThanks to the flexibility of our Ascend Curriculum, we take an individualized approach to early childhood education and encourage every child to progress towards age-appropriate goals at their natural pace. New skills are introduced sequentially in 9 different learning domains each month and activities are modified to fit the interests and current skill level of each child. This skill-based approach to early education ensures that every child feels engaged, supported, and challenged and makes learning fun!

Kind Child Program

Kind Child LogoAnother significant part of our curriculum is our Kind Child program. Kind Child is a year-long program for children ages two and older that helps our teachers nurture and strengthen every child’s social and emotional skills. We have found that when we focus on the emotional well-being of each child in our care, we strengthen our school as well. We are confident that Kind Child will continue to strengthen the culture of our entire preschool center by elevating every child’s feelings of happiness, improving their well-being, and enriching their friendships.

My daughter had a really hard time transitioning from being with her nanny to going to school full time and the Cadence staff supported her every step of the way. She went from scream crying every day to running into the classroom into the teachers arms. They are so warm and encouraging and knowing that my daughter is happy all day long is the biggest relief! Thank you Cadence!!!

Our grandson has now been at cadence for four months. It has been a stimulating and kind school. The teachers are so lovely and caring. He feels secure and is happy to go every day. We get two emails per day with a review of what he’s been up to, including photos. What a gem of a school! So happy to have found it.

We started our son at Cadence when he was just about a year old. Right away we loved it. The teachers were amazing and made the transition to daycare really easy. Ms Prudence showed us so much love. The cameras made us feel so comfortable because anytime we missed our son we could see what he was doing. It’s great to see your child happy and thriving. Being able to go to work and know your child is safe and happy is a blessing.
