Welcome to Cadence Academy Preschool in Winder, GA!

It is our belief that all children are unique and learn through exploring and playing with others. Our Winder, GA daycare is designed as an age-appropriate developmental learning environment. Our curriculum is focused on the development of the whole child which includes spiritual, physical, social, intellectual, and emotional development. The daily activities include religious study, blocks, dramatic play, outdoor time, art, reading, music, and manipulative play.

The Preschool at Winder, GA Curriculum

Blocks

Blocks are important to cognitive growth as they help develop imagination. They are valuable play materials for physical development as children use their muscles to carry blocks from place to place. They provide social-emotional skills because children learn to play together and share experiences.

Dramatic Play

Pretend play or make-believe allows children to act out many roles which helps them to develop many new skills.

Manipulatives

Manipulatives permit physical development to be enhanced as children practice hand-eye coordination while completing puzzles, placing pegs in a pegboard, and stringing beads. Children build their sense of self-esteem as they experience the satisfaction of completing a task successfully.

Art, Reading, and Music at the Winder, GA Daycare

Art allows the children to express their individual ideas and feelings. They also further develop their fine motor skills.

Reading to children regularly encourages them to look through books on their own. Books promote literacy skills and increase vocabulary.

Music naturally delights and motivates children. Children are always learning to do new things with their bodies and music play allows them to explore different movements.

Outdoor Play

Outdoor play is fun for children and important for their growth and development. Being outside allows children to stretch their muscles, breathe in the fresh air, take in the sunshine, and enjoy the freedom of space.

Our Team

Lisa Goss

Lisa Goss

School Director

My name is Lisa Goss. I was born in Greensboro, Georgia, and for the past 23 years, I’ve made my home in Winder, Georgia. My journey in early childhood education began back in 1999, when I opened my first in-home daycare on a military base while my husband was serving in the U.S. Navy. What started as a way to support military families quickly turned into a lifelong passion and calling. Now, 26 years later, I’m still doing what I love-caring for and teaching young children.

I have been married to my high school sweetheart for almost 31 years. Together, we’ve built a beautiful life and raised two amazing boys, Hayden and Greyson. We also have two Boykin Spaniels named Kirby and Dooley—named after our favorite football team, the Georgia Bulldogs. #Go Dawgs

Family means everything to me, and that love, and care, carries over into my work I do every day. It brings me joy to help children grow, learn, and feel safe in a nurturing environment. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of being a part of so many families’ lives, and it’s something I truly treasure.

Stacy Roberts

Stacy Roberts

Assistant Director

My name is Stacy Roberts, and I am currently the Assistant Director at Cadence Academy Preschool in Winder, Georgia, where I bring over 17 years of experience in early childhood education. Passionate about nurturing young minds, I have dedicated my career to helping children grow and thrive in a supportive learning environment.

I currently have a Technical Certificate of Credit (TCC) in Early Childhood Education, as well as an Associate Degree in Business Administration, combining my love of education with strong organizational and leadership skills.

Outside of work, I am the proud mother of a daughter Kaitlyn, who graduated from the University of Georgia in 2024. GO DAWGS! I share my life with my longtime partner Greg Brock and enjoy spending time with his daughter as well. Whether at home or at work, I value family, education, and creating meaningful connections with others.

Nikki Reed

Nikki Reed

Administrative Assistant

My name is Nikki Redd, and I am an administrative assistant at Cadence Academy Preschool in Winder, GA. I have been in early childhood education for over a decade, and my current position allows me to focus on the health and safety of all our students and help meet the needs of our staff. I started working here in January 2014 while I was still in high school. I have taught in almost all our classrooms, from Infants to Preschool, and have served as both an assistant and lead teacher. I moved to my current position in the summer of 2024. As a mom myself, I know how important it is to entrust your child’s safety, wellbeing, and early education to someone, and I treat each student that walks through our doors as one of my own.

I am a Winder native but currently live in Jefferson with my husband, Mathew, and our two boys, Hudson and Wesson. Both of my boys attended Cadence as infants, and my youngest is currently a Cadence student. In my spare time, I enjoy spending time outdoors with my boys, crafting, and baking.

Couldn't speak higher of the staff and facilities! I was a parent who was very skeptical of any daycare, but I have felt nothing but relief and gratitude, the past year as a single dad, for how much my daughter has enjoyed learning here. She's always been in a good mood after a long day and has loved all of her teachers. You're very lucky if you get your kid enrolled here!
