At Cadence Academy Preschool, Edgewater, we recognize that the first six years of a child’s life are a period of rapid cognitive and physical development. Cadence Academy Preschool offers engaging learning environments where trained teachers gently nurture each child’s physical and intellectual development with carefully selected and sensitively administered activities and materials. 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! Our childcare centers have been serving families in New York and New Jersey since 1983 and we strive to create long-lasting relationships with our families because we believe children thrive when there’s a strong connection between home and school.

“Kind teachers that are conscientious of my children’s needs and personalities. An enriched curriculum that suits the needs of all learners.”

“The staff is incredible! I have had the pleasure of knowing some of them for almost a decade now. They genuinely care about these children, and it shows!”

“I always appreciate such great care and the wonderful environment your school provides for us!”

“They are like family – remember everyone’s names – including siblings and loving teachers and administrators.”

Another significant part of our curriculum is our Kind Child program. Kind Child is a year-long program for children ages two and older that helps our teachers nurture and strengthen every child’s social and emotional skills. We have found that when we focus on the emotional well-being of each child in our care, we strengthen our school as well. We are confident that Kind Child will continue to strengthen the culture of our entire preschool center by elevating every child’s feelings of happiness, improving their well-being, and enriching their friendships.

Every child in our care is encouraged to express his or her needs and feelings in a positive and constructive way and to show their caregivers and peers respect and empathy. As caring educators, we mentor our young children to make appropriate choices and help them to regulate their emotions and behaviors.

Positive discipline is a process of teaching children how to behave appropriately and respects the rights of the individual child, the group, and the adult. At Cadence Academy Preschool, positive discipline is consistent with the age and developmental needs of the children and helps children maintain self-control and learn positive behaviors.

School Director

I’ve been part of Cadence Education since 2011. I’ve spent almost 20 years working in early childhood education, and I truly can’t imagine doing anything else. I earned both my bachelor’s degree and MBA from Rutgers University, which have helped me blend strong leadership with a deep understanding of what young children need to thrive. What I love most about my role is being a part of each child’s journey—supporting their growth, encouraging their curiosity, and helping them develop socially, emotionally, and academically. It’s incredibly rewarding to watch them discover the world around them and to help create a nurturing space where they feel safe, confident, and excited to learn every day. I can’t wait to welcome you to the Cadence family!

Cadence Academy in Edgewater has been a blessing. We brought our baby here as a 6 month old, and the care and love Miss Julia and Miss Ani provided for our son, along with helpful guidance and tips for us as first time parents, was invaluable. We ended up switching daycares to a different Edgewater provider because that one was open til 7pm, which in our heads provided more flexibility when needed with work, and it was a little cheaper. Ultimately we regretted it for a variety of reasons - live and learn. Once returning to Cadence several months later, we immediately noticed tremendous improvement in speech development and overall development, and felt the same genuine love and care in the toddler room as we did in the infant room. We could not be more grateful for the entire team and highly recommend Cadence to anyone considering. I’d be remiss not to add: one of the reasons we left the other daycare was because he was consistently getting sick - it felt like a weekly occurrence. I know that’s generally “part of daycare”, but since being back at Cadence for several months now, he’s yet to get sick once. It could be a coincidence, but I credit it to Cadence’s hygiene protocols and the large square footage of the class rooms (the other daycare’s rooms were much smaller)

Amazing. Not once did ny husband or I have a complaint while my son attended Cadence. We have since relocated, so he no longer attends, but leaving Cadence was one of the hardest considerations in our move. Namrata made our boy's transition to daycare a breeze as she's incredibly kind and warm. And Sarjita in the front desk always put a big smile on our boy's face everyday coming and going from school. We were at Cadence for more than a year and a half and EVERY staff member was incredible. Genuinely, I never had a problem at all. The director has made some very smart hiring choices and I cannot recommend Cadence enough.

We are pleased with our decision to enroll our 18 month old daughter at Cadence in Edgewater. She is happy when we arrive each morning and the rooms are large and bright with lots of resources. In addition, the leadership team provides great support, empathy and flexibility while I've been dealing with personal health challenges.
