Your School
Cadence Academy Preschool in Highland Heights, Kentucky was previously known as Abby’s Child Enrichment Center, but we changed our name to reflect our ongoing commitment to providing Highland Heights families with quality child care and preschool programs. It’s the proprietary programming like Kindergarten Club and Kind Child that truly makes the difference in the lives of our students.
We have a highly qualified teaching and care staff at our Highland Heights preschool and provide a loving and comfortable learning environment where students feel at home. We offer different daycare and preschool programs to meet the needs of every family. All of our programs are designed to provide a well-rounded preschool experience and prepare your child for kindergarten.
If you have any questions about our preschool programs in Highland Heights, KY, please don’t hesitate to contact us. We would be happy to answer any questions you have and give you a tour of our school.
Here are the programs we offer at our Highland Heights daycare and preschool center for children ages 6 weeks to 5 years:
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.
Our preschool provides a nutritious breakfast, lunch, and snacks every day, which are included in our standard tuition. We encourage our children to try a variety of healthy foods from all the food groups through our Food For Thought Program. Our preschool menu includes items like fresh fruits and vegetables, whole grain bread, rolls, and pasta, low-sugar yogurt and cereal, and much more. We’re very picky about our menu choices. Our aim is to nurture both body and mind and pave the way for a lifetime of good food choices.
The safety and security of the children in our care are always a top concern. We have security cameras throughout our Highland Heights preschool center, including coverage of the playground. We have a secure entry system, and there is always a staff member up front to greet family and screen visitors.
Your child’s health and safety are also extremely important to us. Each of our classrooms is equipped with toys, furniture, and equipment that is appropriate for that age group, and we have air purification systems in each room too. We love outdoor learning, and there’s a playground for outdoor play when the weather is favorable and indoor play spaces when it isn’t.
The Cadence Academy Preschool Ascend curriculum is designed to prepare your child for kindergarten. We believe that a well-rounded preschool experience is important in encouraging lifelong learners, so we focus on nine learning domains: Literacy, Math, Science, Physical Fitness, Creative Expression, Social-Emotional Development, Cultural Understanding, Technology and Language.
Ongoing student assessments help to ensure that children are on the right path at a pace that they are comfortable with. In this way, your child will be ready for the academic challenges of kindergarten, and they will also have the social and emotional skills they need to be successful in life.

Better known as Miss Erica, we are proud to recognize her as the Teacher of the Year at our school in Highland Heights. Erica comes to us with a Bachelor’s degree in Music Education and taught for a year in that field. She joined the Cadence teaching team in June of 2023 and brought her knowledge of teaching along with her warm personality. She enjoys young children and loves watching them achieve developmental milestones as they further their abilities. It is evident in her interactions with our babies that she is committed to their growth and development in all areas. Erica has 10 siblings, so she has been around young children her whole life, which has likely contributed to her heart for teaching. In her spare time, Erica loves to attend concerts and Broadway plays. You can also find her curled up with a good book or in the kitchen baking. Her bucket list includes trips to Switzerland, Germany, and Greece. Congratulations to Erica on this acknowledgement and we are grateful to have her on our teaching team.
