Rosemary Irwin
School Director
My journey began 37 years ago as a teacher in Philadelphia. I realized rather quickly that my true passion was early education. It gives me so much joy to see such beautiful tiny humans blossom into their own person. I am luck to have a job that allows me to hold them in my arms as infants and then hold their hand when they graduate from our program. To be part of that special time is nothing short of amazing. I do not take my responsibility lightly. I know that parents put their trust in me and I will always put their children’s safety and well-being first. I lead a team of dedicated professionals who help shape the minds of the future. We know that education is not one size fits all and each child learns differently. My motto has always been that every single child deserves the tools they need to succeed. My family has lived in Washington Township for 26 years. We have 3 beautiful and successful children and 3 amazing grandchildren. Besides spending time with our grandchildren, we love the beach.

Assistant Director
My passion for working with children began with a dream of becoming a teacher, and that passion continues to grow every day. I’ve been a proud member of the Cadence Academy family for over 14 years, where I cherish the opportunity to collaborate with families and staff to inspire a lifelong love of learning. Outside of work, my husband and I are the proud parents of three grown sons and share our home with three dogs and a cat. Last year I experienced the joy of becoming a grandmother for the first time—welcoming my granddaughter truly filled my heart. In my free time, I love cooking for my family and relaxing with a good movie.

Susan Gorgodian
Teacher of the Year
I have been teaching for over twenty years, and I’ve been with Cadence Academy since 2014. For the past two school years, I’ve been voted “Teacher of the Year.” Before joining the Cadence Academy Preschool Family, I taught grades ranging from Preschool to 7th grade, however, preschool is my favorite grade to teach. As a teacher, it’s my mission to instill a love for learning and I teach with passion so that my students develop a desire to become life-long learners. I received my bachelor’s degree in liberal arts from Rowan University and my master’s degree in educational leadership from Neumann University. I also hold both Elementary and Preschool Certifications with the State of New Jersey. Outside of school, I enjoy taking yoga classes, going to Phillies games, and spending time with my husband Wes and our two cats Timothy and Elizabeth.
