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.

Our Team

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.
