Finding quality Bourne daycare and preschools with an emphasis on education isn’t hard when your children are enrolled in Cadence Academy Preschool. We believe children retain more when they’re having fun, so our programs are all tailored toward learning through play.

Our Effective Curriculum

Our nationally accredited, specially developed curriculum in our Bourne, MA schools focuses on working with children to explore and strengthen their skills in five separate areas: social and emotional, physical, cognitive, language, and literacy development. The dedicated and caring teachers at our school make the difference in creating a classroom that is enjoyed by all.

As an accredited preschool, Cadence Academy upholds the highest standards in early childhood education. Whether you live in Bourne, Sagamore, Monument Beach, Amrita, Buzzards Bay, Pocasset, Cataumet, or nearby locations, your family can find a safe and nurturing space at Cadence Academy for your child. You can be confident that your child is receiving a well-rounded education that prepares them for kindergarten and beyond.

Ideal Environment for Toddlers and Preschoolers

Our Bourne, MA schools’ classrooms are set up specifically for toddlers and preschoolers with developmentally appropriate activities and materials that encourage creativity, exploration, and hands-on learning. With low teacher-student ratios, we’re able to give each child the attention they need and deserve. We provide plenty of options for indoor and outdoor fun, so your child will be engaged in learning all day long.

Parent Communication App

We also offer an extraordinary Parent Communication App that our teachers use daily to relay information and send pictures to family members, send newsletters, and track developmental progress for each child’s portfolio. With this application, parents and guardians are able to opt into email or text alerts, and they can receive any information instantaneously about their child and their child’s school day.

Parents of our students at our Bourne, MA schools appreciate this hands-on approach to children’s education and school experience, which gives them real-time, first-hand information about their little ones’ progress. Teachers and staff can tag daily pictures with our Developmental Domains and are then able to communicate with families and primary caregivers by adding captions or sending quick little notes.

We apply this practice to all Cadence Academy preschools and daycare centers across the country. Families love this feature, and we’re utilizing it more and more each day. We are very excited to be able to communicate with families enrolled at our Bourne MA schools throughout the day and to show them what their children are learning.

Courtney Wahlers

Courtney Wahlers

School Director

I began my career in early childhood education and care in 2004. From a young age, I always knew I wanted to be a teacher and work with children. I started as an assistant teacher while taking college courses at Cape Cod Community College. Over the years, through dedication, continued education, and hands-on experience in the classroom, I progressed to roles as a teacher, lead teacher, and now proudly serve as a director. Each step in my journey has deepened my passion for early childhood education and strengthened my commitment to providing high-quality care and learning experiences for young children. As a director of childcare, I enjoy working with children because of their natural curiosity, creativity, and genuine spirit. Being around them brings a unique energy and joy to each day, and I find it incredibly rewarding to support their growth and development—not only through direct interactions but by creating an environment where they can thrive. I love watching them learn new things, overcome challenges, and build confidence in themselves. Every child is unique, and I value the opportunity to connect with each one as an individual—to nurture their strengths, guide them through emotions, and help them feel safe, valued, and heard. Knowing that I play a role in shaping their early experiences, both through my leadership and through the care our team provides, makes this work deeply meaningful and fulfilling.

Outside of work, I enjoy a variety of hobbies that bring balance and joy to my life. I love to read, bake, travel, and spend time in the garden. Collecting sea glass is one of my favorite relaxing pastimes, especially during beach trips with my family. I also enjoy listening to live music—there’s something special about the energy and connection it brings. These activities allow me to recharge and stay inspired, both personally and professionally.

Meghan Muratore

Assistant Director

I started working in childcare when I was 18 years old and have worked with all age groups throughout the years. I was an Infant Teacher for 7 years before becoming a Director for 6 years, at two different centers, including one in Bourne. I then decided to step down into a PreK Teacher position. I was a PreK Teacher for a few years and more recently, a Toddler Teacher. I was very ready and happy to step back into a leadership role as an Assistant Director here in Bourne. I truly love watching the children grow and learn. I love seeing all their different personalities and being able to foster their development.

I genuinely enjoy doing what I do. I thrive on a positive and fun-filled environment. In 2019, I became a Certified Kids Yoga Teacher through Kidding Around Yoga. I love being able to bring mindfulness techniques into the center and advocating for children’s social-emotional learning.

Accreditations

NAEYC Accreditation

Every child deserves access to high-quality early learning experiences. NAEYC (National Association for the Education of Young Children) has set 10 standards for early childhood programs that can help families make the right choice when they are looking for a child care center, preschool, or kindergarten. The standards and criteria are also the foundation of the NAEYC Accreditation system for early childhood programs. To earn NAEYC Accreditation, schools must go through an extensive self-study and quality-improvement process, followed by an on-site visit by NAEYC Assessors to verify and ensure that the program meets each of the ten program standards, and hundreds of corresponding individual criteria. NAEYC-accredited programs are always prepared for unannounced quality-assurance visits during their accreditation term, which lasts for five years. In the 30 years since NAEYC Accreditation was established, it has become a widely recognized sign of high-quality early childhood education. More than 7,000 programs are currently accredited by NAEYC—less than 10 percent of all child care centers, preschools, and kindergartens nationally achieve this recognition.

My son has been going there 7 months, after going through problems at 3 other centers he arrived at cadence and has shown improvements in alot of areas he has struggled with at the other centers. He enjoys attending, and the staff is professional, accommodating, and very sensitive to his health issues. Highly recommend the staff is top notch, concerns are readily addressed and solutions are found often in a timely manner . Glad he's having a good time for once at school.

Cadence Academy has been a wonderful place for my grandson. From the moment he started, it was clear that the teachers truly care about the children and are dedicated to their growth, learning, and well-being. They are patient, attentive, and consistently communicate with families, which gives us great peace of mind. The directors Courtney and Meghan are equally impressive—professional, approachable, and always willing to listen or help when needed. Their leadership creates a positive, welcoming environment that shows in how happy and confident the children are. We are very grateful for the support, structure, and care Cadence Academy provides, and I highly recommend it to any family looking for a nurturing and well-run school.

Our family loves our Cadence family! My daughter started in Preschool 1 and is now in Preschool 2. We can not say enough good things about her teacher Ms.J! My daughter has learned so much and gets so excited to go to school.Recently we got stuck with our middle child with all the bridge traffic. It was a no brainer for us, he is able to get on and off the bus at Cadence he gets to have breakfast before school and snack as soon as he gets off the bus, the bonus is that he loves having extra time with his school friends.

Our son has attended Cadence in three different classes over the years and we’ve been very happy with them. His teachers are wonderful and you know they truly care about your child! They’re doing a great job of helping to prep him for kindergarten next year. The administration has always been very understanding of our ever changing scheduling needs due to work. Overall it’s been a great experience for us and we’d choose cadence again in the future if necessary!
