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.

We are so happy we chose Cadence! We found Cadence after touring several other daycares in the area and immediately knew it would be the place for us. The teachers and administration are so kind and helpful and our son comes and goes with a smile every day! We have only been in the infant room so far, which has been great, but the teacher for the next classroom has already introduced herself to us and explained how she spends the time to come to the infant room so that the kids get to know her before making the transition (6+ months out!)! Cadence is a really special place with amazing people that we are grateful to have! We highly recommend!

My kids moved from another daycare nearby in August and I am beyond happy we took the leap. After an exceptional welcome and consistency with staff and admin, I decided to switch my job to cadence and enrolled my infant as well. Each program provides such a high quality of care. I love how honest and communicative the teachers are. I feel included and like my children are easily accepted. I love getting pictures in the app and sharing them with my family!
