Our amazing preschool features 11 custom-designed classrooms where students have ample space for learning, yet enjoy a cozy atmosphere that feels like home.

Every parent and family is important to us, and we pride ourselves on delivering excellent care for our children. These efforts have not gone unnoticed:we were recently selected as the winner of the “Shorepicks 2016 Best of the Cape Fear Region” in the Childcare Center category and won Best Day Care in Wilmington for 2017 as voted by Wilmington Magazine readers!

Our Preschool & Childcare Programs

  • Infant Childcare (ages 6 weeks to 1 year) – An infant childcare program created to maintain the strong bonds, warmth, and security your child enjoys with you at home.

  • Early Learners (ages 2 to 3) ­– Our Early Learners program focuses on improving gross and fine motor skills, vocabulary, and learning through exploring.
  • Preschool (ages 3 to 4) – This preschool program focuses on fully preparing students for Pre-Kindergarten.
  • Pre-Kindergarten (ages 4 to 5) – We weave in the skills and experiences taught in previous years to prepare students in Pre-K for the transition to Kindergarten.
  • School-Age Program (ages 5 to 12) – Students are picked up from local elementary schools to enjoy fun, learning, socializing, and growth.
  • Summer Camp Programs (ages 5 to 12) – From adventures in nature, to academic activities, and playing sports, this program ensures that kids do not fall behind in the summer break, while also ensuring they have a blast with their friends.

We know that a child’s first five years are critical to cognitive, social, creative, and physical development. At Cadence Academy, Wilmington, we encourage children to learn and grow by providing a foundation of developmentally-appropriate educational experiences in a safe, nurturing environment.

It is my goal for all of our families to feel like they are at home when they leave their children in our hands as they go off to work or school. Cadence Academy has become my second home as I spend my days making sure that our families and staff are well taken care of.

Cadence Academy is a wonderful place for children! I highly recommend this safe, nurturing and fun daycare. Each and every staff member/teacher is friendly and they truly enjoy working there. The facility is clean, safe and my child had a wonderful experience there and was ready to move onto NC PreK!!

Our son just finished up five and a half years at Cadence and it has been the best place for him. His confidence, social skills, and overall development soared as a result of their pre-k curriculum. Monica and the staff have always done whatever it took to ensure the safety, learning potential and happiness for all of the children and their parents. Even during the pandemic, they managed to find ways to stay open and safe, so that we as parents could continue to work. Cadence routinely gets high marks from the health department and meets or exceeds all safety and cleanliness regulations. We were very happy and lucky to have our son at Cadence and I know they played a large role in shaping him into a curious, respectful and happy child who is beyond prepared for kindergarten! A big thanks to Cadence Academy and all of his teachers through these past years, and I would recommend this pre-school to anyone!

We could not be happier with our experience at Cadence Academy. The staff goes above and beyond to stay organized and make sure all of the children have a happy and safe time while they are there. Safety and Cleanliness are paramount. Our son has LOVED all of his teachers and we love the unmatched support we get from the Director and Assistant Director, Monica and Jessica. We feel very fortunate our son attends Cadence !!

I was checking out reviews about Forex and Bitcoin Expert traders on Facebook but was a bit skeptic to invest into a wrong hand, After a proper research I decided to invest with Mrs. Arnold Elizabeth , due to the countless good feedback i read about her service and she turns out to be the best i have ever experience. I invested just $1,000 and she profit me $14,200 after 7 days. You also want to trade with a dedicated Expert trader? Contact Mrs. Arnold Elizabeth , She's great WhatsApp: +1 (803) 857-4119 Email: [email protected] Telegram handle: https://t.me/ArnoldElizabeth4119
