What Makes Us Unique in Weston, MA
Our Philosophy
At Cadence Academy Preschool, we understand that when a child has positive feelings of self-worth and is able to recognize, express, and cope with their own emotions and those of others, they are better able to explore new areas of learning and engage more fully with the world around them. The philosophy is designed to help develop a strong sense of self by fostering the skills of emotional intelligence, which are critical for promoting academic, social, and personal success.
Kindergarten Ready
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! Children at Cadence Academy Preschool enjoy the benefits of approximately two acres of wonderful outdoor spaces to express their enthusiasm and release their energy. Our facilities are designed to stimulate children’s curiosity and cultivate a healthy appetite for learning and discovery. There is a treehouse and a stage, and the outdoor space was landscaped with children in mind.
Children’s Garden
- Gardening allows children to experience responsibility and patience, learn about life cycles, and begin to understand the interdependence of living things.
- Teachers are able to schedule time in the garden throughout spring and summer, and children can document seasonal changes and make observations through sketches, photographs, and words.
- Each spring the garden fills with plants and flowers that attract butterflies and hummingbirds for observation.
- Children can also take the lead in garden activities like planting seeds and then nurturing them to grow into strong plants with vegetables and herbs they can later enjoy together.
Playground
- A multi-purpose play structure offers a variety of choices to match skill development and interests.
- Children can enjoy tricycle riding, ball playing, and hula-hoop rolling.
- A sand-filled area is perfect for filling and emptying pails and creating sandcastles – enhancing the child’s time for imaginative and creative play.
- Our infants and toddlers enjoy a separate grassy play area and enclosed sandbox, separate from older children.

Our Team
Angela Kenis
School Director
I’ve had the privilege of working with children and families since 1999, holding a variety of roles along the way, including teacher, program coordinator, assistant director, and director. I have been directing for over 11 years. What I love most about Early Education is that we are not only building the foundation for children to develop a lifelong love for learning, but we are also shaping them to be kind, caring and emotionally intelligent human beings. There is no job more meaningful or rewarding. I am passionate about creating an environment where children, families, and educators can flourish. At our Weston school, I’ve cultivated a culture rooted in professionalism, respect, and dedication, ensuring that we provide the highest quality care and education to our children, while maintaining a supportive and positive work environment for our teachers.
