About Cadence Academy Preschool in Southaven, MS
Are you looking for a school that focuses on the values that are important to your family? One of the greatest benefits of a private Christian education is the commitment to providing instruction from a biblical, Christ-centered worldview.
At Cadence Academy Preschool, biblical truths are infused into the academic lesson plans that help expose God’s truth and help students make the connection between the pieces of life and God’s larger frame of reference.
How will Christian values shape your child’s future? The spiritual freedom of praying in school, reading the Bible, and discovering Christ in all subject classes will provide your child with a solid biblical foundation that will last an eternity. In the Christian school classroom, the teacher openly teaches the truths of Scripture because his commitment compels an open, unashamed love and service to Jesus Christ. The teachers openly demonstrate and model Christian principles – one of the key reasons you send your child to a Christian school.

Aisha Simelton
Teacher of the Year
I started in Early Education 10 years ago and have loved working with children ever since. I strive to make my classroom an enjoyable, safe place for the children in my care. I am often singing with my children, so you may hear our joyful noises when you enter the classroom. My family consists of myself and my two loving children. In my free time I love to spend time with my family and make memories. I love to shop, travel and explore new things. I like having a good time and smiling and laughing.
