About Cadence Academy Preschool in Florence, KY

Cadence Academy Preschool in Florence, KY (formerly Abby’s Child Enrichment Center) is a licensed, full-service, premium early childhood education facility focusing on the success and nurturing of each child.

We are proud to lead the way in preparing children for kindergarten. Through our specialized curriculum and dedicated teachers, we strive to ensure that your child is not just ready for kindergarten, but ready to excel. In 2024, 100% of the Pre-K children assessed in our school demonstrated Readiness or Advanced Readiness for Kindergarten!

We incorporate the Reggio Emilia Educational Approach, which encourages children to think on their own. The Reggio Emilia Curriculum ensures the children’s work dominates the classroom rather than commercial art or designs. All children have potential, and their potential should be cultivated at school. Group project work is encouraged to build social-emotional skills and allows children to learn from each other and borrow each other’s knowledge. 

Teachers can pose a question to the group to encourage problem-solving. Children are given time to make connections and form ideas. The environment is calm and simple, has natural items, and incorporates the use of light. The Reggio Emilia approach supports social, social-communication, cognitive, fine motor, and gross motor skills. Our school is so much more than just a Florence daycare.

Infants

Our goal is to provide a warm, secure, loving, and nurturing environment for all babies in our care. Daily activities are designed specifically to meet your baby’s needs and abilities. Routine caregiving activities, such as feeding and diapering, are used as opportunities for language interactions and for nurturing a one-on-one relationship with the teacher.

Our academic curriculum is based primarily on play. As infants play with toys, observe the world around them, listen to sounds, and interact with caring adults, they are learning. The development of play skills can be significantly enhanced by the quality of the teachers’ interactions and the availability of play materials. Infants learn through spontaneous play, in which they build an understanding of the world on their terms.

Infancy to Preschool

From infancy to preschool, children learn best when lessons are engaging. Throughout our programs, preschool teachers work with children on language and literacy skills, beginning letter/sound recognition and identification, pre-math and pre-science skills, as well as incorporating a whole language approach to learning. We foster a love for reading as well as providing opportunities to engage in counting, sorting, and categorizing through activities that are stimulating and fun. Additionally, we encourage social skills like cooperation and respect.

Pre-K

Our Pre-Kindergarten curriculum allows children to participate in small groups while interacting with other children in activities, projects, and experiments. Exposure to reading occurs daily by engaging children in letter identification which progresses to letter sounds, and finally how sounds and letters combine to form words. Additionally, children will be exposed to addition and subtraction and more acute observational and analytical skills.

Pre-K classrooms at our Florence facility are arranged with several interest areas/learning centers. Each area provides children with new challenges and learning opportunities. Teachers periodically change the interest areas in order to provide new experiences, challenge the children’s abilities, and respond to their growing interests. We have created a program that encourages both education and enrichment for the individual child. Adding qualified teachers who speak with the children and ask questions to promote language development creates a space where children can learn and grow at their own pace.

We are about a month shy of my daughter's last day at Cadence Academy, and it's bittersweet. For the past three years, this place has been her second home. They've seen her first steps, first words, keepsake artwork, holiday celebrations, successful potty training and first "best friends". The communication with both the teachers and leadership team is amazing, they call instantly when she has an injury (which is so common for clumsy babies/toddlers) and she comes home talking to me about how her teachers read to her, held her, and snuggled her to make her feel better. They also give me peace of mind with keeping focused on her asthma symptoms and giving her breathing treatments if needed. As a full-time working parent, I feel confident that my daughter is in amazing hands and I see the fruits of the thoughtful educational activities she experiences. She has continued to exceed her developmental milestones both cognitively and physically and I know that Cadence is to thank for their role in investing in her growth. Thank you Cadence for loving on my girl like she was your own, and helping her grow into the smart, creative, and courageous preschooler she has become. I am happy to recommend friends and families to have the same experiences I have! Love, The Ashley Family

Our son has attended Cadence Academy Preschool, we are so thankful for the care that his teacher, Miss Lesley, has provided. She and the other staff have gone above and beyond to make him feel comfortable in his environment. She is very in tuned to all of the her kiddos needs and is always willing to learn new approaches. I always love reading about their day sent on the daily sheet. Our son always seems happy when dropped off and really seems to love this daycare.
