School Director

Early Childhood Education has been a part of my life since I was 15 years old.  I started working with children in an afterschool program when I was in High School which is where my love for children began.  Watching children progress in their development is so special. Children are naturally curious and innocent in their ways of thinking.  Being a part of their explorations, curiosity and achievements brings me joy.  When I’m not at work,  I find great pleasure in watching my daughter ride horses. On the weekends, I love to go for walks on trails, take bike rides with my children and grandchildren, and depending on the season, we like to ice skate or go to the beach.

Program Manager

Tatyana Peterson is the Program Manager at Cadence Academy Preschool, bringing over 15 years of experience in early childhood education to her role. She began her journey in the field in 2010, inspired by her mother, who worked with children with special needs and instilled in her a deep love for working with and supporting young learners. Tatyana holds a Bachelor’s degree in Early Childcare from Pine Manor College in Chestnut Hill and has steadily grown her career from Preschool Teacher Assistant to her current role as Program Manager.

Tatyana’s greatest joy is challenging her students and watching them embrace every opportunity to learn and explore. She is passionate about creating an environment where curiosity is celebrated and every child is encouraged to reach their fullest potential. Outside of work, Tatyana enjoys reading a wide variety of books, developing her own studies, and designing costumes that bring different characters to life — a creative spirit that no doubt finds its way into her classroom every day.

I have my son at Cadence Preschool Academy for about a year now, and I can honestly say we’ve had such a great experience. I really love this school and feel so lucky that my son gets to be there. I truly think it’s one of the best daycares in Walpole. I especially want to recognize Miss Brooks and Miss Heather. They’re so attentive and caring, and I can tell they genuinely care about the kids. As a parent, that means so much to me. It’s such a good feeling to know that when I drop my son off, he’s somewhere he feels comfortable, happy, and cared for. I’ve also been really impressed with how much he’s learned over the past year. They actually follow a curriculum and work with the kids on so many different things. I’ve noticed a big difference in his fine motor skills, independence, communication, and just his overall development. It’s been so nice watching him learn new things and become more confident. I’m so thankful to the teachers and staff at Cadence for everything they do for him. We’ve had such a positive experience, and I would absolutely recommend Cadence to any parent looking for a loving and supportive place for their child.

Under the new management team led by Keri this place has really turned the corner in the best way. The facility is nice, locations great and good sized outdoor spaces for play. We send our 2 year old here and his teachers Kaitlyn and Kiley are nurturing and care so much for every toddler in their room! They’re great with providing updates and feedback throughout the day. I highly recommend Cadence!

We’ve had both of our children here since October 2024, and we’ve been very happy with our experience. The teachers and staff genuinely care about the kids, and it shows in the way they interact with them every day. Our children are happy, well cared for, and excited to go each morning. In the past year, we’ve especially seen a positive impact throughout the center since Keri has joined the team. We’re grateful for the care our family has received!

My daughter has been attending this center since she was 8 months old and she just turned 3. I have had a great experience with her teachers, from her infant room, toddler class and now preschool class. They are always working on ‘activities’ as she calls it, and their curriculum covers so much. The new director and leadership team is very communicative, approachable, and supportive. The teachers all genuinely seem to care about the care they provide. I would certainly recommend this center!
