Our Team
Ellen Thomas
School Director
I started working for Cadence Academy in 1990. I received my associate degree in early childhood education. I have been in many roles – assistant teacher in our four-year-old class, lead teacher of our two-year class, assistant director and and now School Director. I cannot wait to see how bright our future will be at Cadence Academy. I married my high school sweetheart, Dave, in 1997. We have two children, Kerri & Shane and four, four-legged children, Minni, Jovi, Hazel (cats) and Buttercup (dog) and they are so incredibly loved (yes, Jovi is named after the rock band Bon Jovi!). In my spare time, I love hanging out at the swim club & vacationing in Ocean City, MD, where, one day, I hope to “retire”! I love making people laugh and I’m a practical joker who loves to scare people.
Bridget Dutill
Assistant Director
I’ve been with Cadence since 1994, when we were known as Flanagan’s Preschool. I hold my private certification in teaching, and I obtained my bachelor’s degree in early childhood education from West Chester University. I was originally at our Collegeville location and then transferred to our Conshohocken location. I was the head teacher of our Junior Kindergarten class until recently when I took the role of Assistant Director. I am married and have three children, Emma, Kaylin & Liam. We also have our furry friend, a golden doodle named Bailey. I enjoy traveling and have been to Paris, but my favorite vacation spots are Maine, Lake George & the beach. If I’m not running around with my kids, I enjoy spending time with family and friends.
Jenna Fitzpatrick
Teacher of the Year
Jenna Fitzpatrick has been working in childcare for over five years and has always had a passion for teaching young children. Having attended Cadence Academy herself as a child, it is especially meaningful for her to now be part of the school community as a teacher. Jenna currently teaches Pre-K 4s and loves helping children learn, grow, and build confidence as they prepare for their next steps.
Jenna enjoys creating a caring and engaging classroom where children feel supported and excited to learn each day. Outside of school, she loves spending time with her family, reading, and enjoying her favorite shows, including Diamond Art. She is especially close with her two sisters and values the strong connections she builds both inside and outside the classroom.
