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!

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.

The teachers, front desk, and administration are all amazing people with a child first mentality. Ms. Jen, Ms Pru, Mr James, Ms Lauren, Mr Jahlil, and Ms Lucinda have all been favorites of our daughter

We currently have 3 children enrolled at Cadence and cannot say enough good things about our experience. The director & staff take great pride in nurturing the children and developing a relationship with the entire family. In an industry where some providers have lost their way, Cadence demonstrates an unwavering commitment to care & development everyday. They have cameras in each room, but we barely even check them. We greatly appreciate the daily reports shared during & after each day. We have experienced most all the teachers at this point and are pleased to share that they do not just watch the children- they really help them grow… we have witnessed tremendous strides in all our children from patience/sharing to potty training to eating better and proper education/learning. Our oldest is off to kindergarten next year and school administrators have informed us that she is testing a year ahead of schedule. This gives us great peace of mind to know that not only are our kids receiving tremendous care, but are being diligently prepared for the next level. Thank you Cadence!
