About Cadence Academy Portland

Cadence Academy Preschool, Portland offers nurturing childcare and preschool programs for families in NE Portland. This school served as a preschool in the community for over thirty years prior to us opening our doors, but needed major remodeling before it became the first Cadence Academy location in 2000. Our preschool center features two cottages, a fenced playground, and an outdoor gardening area.

Preschool Programs

Our Educational Philosophy

We take a balanced approach to early childhood education and have created a preschool environment where children find joy in learning. We are focused on the social, emotional, and intellectual development of each child in our care and we work towards the acquisition of meaningful and useful academic skills.

We give each child the tools to succeed so that when they enter more formal educational systems later in life, they have the skills and confidence to thrive. Our preschool and childcare programs encourage positive relationships and the development of critical thinking skills, which evolve through experimentation, exploration, and play.

Family Involvement

Communication between parents and school is a critical aspect of a successful early educational experience. We have a Parent Orientation prior to your child’s start date, parent conferences each April, and constantly provide feedback on your child’s development.

We have an open door policy and encourage your involvement in our preschool community. Many parents stop by to read to the children, help in the garden, participate in school events, or join us on field trips.

Emily is a wonderful director who is dedicated to help families and your little ones. The teachers are amazing and cultivate a safe, caring environment. Cadence also provides a great curriculum to engage developmental milestones. I would recommended Cadence to anyone who needs childcare with the peace of mind that your child is being taken care of.

We love Cadence Academy Gateway! Our daughter has attended for the past 18 months and loves it. The staff is professional, reliable, friendly, nurturing and loving. There is very little staff turnover, which is very comforting! The director, Emily, is a fantastic communicator and comes up with a ton of creative activities to get families involved and enrich the school culture. We feel at peace sending our daughter here every day.

Cadence Academy Gateway is a great preschool program! The staff are kind, supportive, and great with communication. My child loved going to school and we felt great knowing she would have a good day and come home happy. They provide a lot of bonuses (like all the meals/snacks, photo updates) at a very affordable rate. We would highly recommend Cadence to anyone seeking childcare in our area!
