Our Approach to Early Childhood Education
Kind Child Program

Another 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.
Ascend Curriculum

Thanks 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!
What Makes Our Daycare and Preschool Unique
Our warm, experienced educators are passionate about early childhood development and treat every child like their own, creating a sense of trust and belonging from day one. With intentional small class sizes, we are able to provide individualized attention that supports each child’s unique pace, personality, and developmental needs. Through play-based learning experiences, we spark curiosity, creativity, and a lifelong love of learning while helping children build confidence through everyday achievements. Additionally, our inviting, age-appropriate classrooms are designed as safe, stimulating spaces where children feel comfortable exploring, learning, and growing with confidence.
A Daycare Center and Preschool Built on Family and Community
Family involvement is an important part of our daycare and preschool community. As a small, close-knit early learning center, we believe families are an integral part of the program and encourage parents to actively participate in their child’s educational journey. Parents have opportunities to see their children’s teachers daily and to participate in the program as their schedules allow. This close relationship enhances each child’s personal growth and achievement and promotes a secure and safe environment. Communication between teacher and families adds to each child’s learning environment and offers support for continued success.

Jill Foster
Assistant Director
Hello, my name is Ms. Jill, and I am the Assistant Director at Cadence Academy Preschool. I have worked in the childcare field for 27 years and with this school since 1997. I am the youngest of eight children and spent my early years surrounded by many nieces and nephews. I love watching children learn and grow which is why I chose a career in Early Childhood Education.
I enjoy welcoming all the children to our school each day and working with families.
I am married and have two adult stepchildren. My daughter lives in Delaware and works in the education field. My son is an officer in the Army and lives in upstate New York. He and his wife welcomed a daughter (Ramona) in the fall of 2020, so I am officially a Gigi!
In my spare time I enjoy travelling, country line dancing, hiking, and yoga. “Namaste”
Stepfanie Organek
Curriculum Coordinator
Hello all, my name is Stepfanie, and this is my fourth year with Cadence Academy! I started working in childcare in 2008 while taking classes in Early Childhood Education. After eight years of teaching, I decided to venture out and worked as an Office Manager with foster youth. Even though I worked behind the scenes helping children I missed working face to face with them. This brought me back to working in childcare with the Cadence Academy Family and I could not be happier being back in the field!
I live in Delaware with my husband, Anthony, our son, Liam, and our pups Lucy and Penny. When it is warm you can catch me at the drive on and when it is cooler you can catch me inside with a good book and some coffee!
Sridatri Sadhu
Teacher of the Year
I completed my bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering in 2009. In India, I used to tutor school kids for Math and Science. After moving to the US in 2013, I became a stay-at-home mom and focused on raising my child. After my daughter started middle school, I resumed my career as a preschool teacher. Working with children has always been my passion. I have been working at Cadence Academy since 2023. I believe in learning through fun activities such as – playing, singing, dancing, arts & crafts, providing students with a rich array of hands-on activities, imaginative play experiences, and interactive games that spark their curiosity and foster their development. Outside of the classroom, I enjoy spending time with my family, exploring nature, watching movies, and listening to music. I love cooking and trying out new recipes.
