About Cadence Academy Preschool in Pekin

At Cadence Academy Preschool in Pekin, we believe in taking every step possible to make the most of childhood. In fact, our preschool’s main objective is to ensure exceptional care for the students we serve as well as provide a personalized preschool education for each child.

Our Preschool Programs Go Above and Beyond

The National Accreditation Committee (NAC) offers a set of superior standards for the education and care of young children. Its accreditation process is one of growth and commitment to excellence and includes the following components: Curriculum, Interactions, Health and Safety, Administration, and Family Engagement.

At Cadence Academy Preschool in Pekin, Illinois our administration, staff, and parents are committed to growing and improving our preschool and childcare programs for the benefit of all our children.

We provide early childhood education programs based on best practices, integrity, and excellent care and education for our students. We also undergo a regular evaluation process that allows NAC to conduct on-site assessments in each area of the NAC Accreditation standards, which go above and beyond the State’s standards.

Our Childcare & Early Childhood Education Programs:

  • Infant Childcare (6 weeks – 15 months). Books, music, and soft toys are part of our responsive, nurturing infant environment where loving caregivers spend time playing games, talking to, and singing to your child.
  • Toddler Childcare (15 months – 2 years). Every day is a new adventure for your toddler. Children thrive in our nurturing toddler childcare program where they are encouraged to think through their actions, solve problems, and fully experience the world around them.
  • Two-Year-Olds (2 – 3 years). At Rogy’s Learning Center, we understand that two-year-olds are curious explorers. Our enriching environment, various educational toys and materials, and self-directed activities help boost your child’s sense of discovery and encourages independence.
  • Preschool (3 – 5 years). Children in our preschool program experience a day filled with numerous choices for learning, with a smart balance of teacher-directed and child-initiated activities. Classrooms are divided into Interest Areas that encourage students to explore and imagine while gaining school-readiness skills.
  • School-Age Program (5 – 12 years). In our school-age programs, kids get help with distance learning and gain a creative, fun environment in which to learn. Children play games, create art projects, and have fun outside, among many other activities. To accommodate working parents, we offer transportation to and from many local elementary schools.
  • Summer Camp (6 – 12 years). This summer camp program offers wide-ranging, age appropriate activities and field trips, such as picnics, educational exhibits, sports, computer projects, and a reading program.

Positive Behavior Support (PBS)

To recognize positive manners and reduce, or eliminate, challenging behaviors, Cadence offers a unique program to enhance social and emotional development, and to promote school readiness. The approach was initially developed by the Center on the Social and Emotional Foundations for Early Learning (CSEFEL) and utilizes a pyramid model to address children’s emotional and social needs.

At Cadence Academy Preschool, we refer to this method as PBS. It focuses on being proactive to prevent challenging behaviors. We accomplish this task by building positive relationships with our children and families; creating a supportive environment for our students; and using specific strategies to teach social and emotional development. With PBS, we reduce the amount of time we spend addressing challenging behaviors, and in turn, our staff can focus on positive behaviors, and support all areas of development and learning in all children.

We love Cadence Academy in Pekin! We have been Sending our son there since he was 3 months old last September and love it! It’s so clean, and staff is so welcoming, and the app they use is even better because it gives me updates as things happen throughout his day. When we decide to have another baby, we will definitely be going with them!

The staff at Cadence Academy have all been amazing! Both of my children were welcomed with open arms from the very first day and they have bonded well with their teachers. My son has multiple food allergies and I appreciate that they work hard to make sure he has safe food options available to him even for holiday parties so he is not left out. They go above and beyond to make sure both of my children are safe, happy, and healthy. I am so glad we found an amazing place for our children to attend.

My daughter has been going here for almost a year now. They always chart everything your child does on an app to make parents feel more comfortable. I think that’s great. The staff are always welcoming, and it is always super clean in there. Will be bringing my next child there when she is born and ready for daycare.
