Preschool Programs

Ascend Curriculum

Ascend Curriculum LogoThe Ascend Curriculum takes a unique skill-based approach to early education that you won’t find outside our family of schools. Most preschool curricula are either all play or overly rigid and scheduled. Our curriculum meets in the middle by having a flexible framework that continually builds valuable skill sets while still leaving lots of room for fun and play.

Our teachers focus on specific skills within nine subjects every month. We often move at a challenging pace, but we encourage our teachers to modify activities to match the needs, interests, and current skill level of each student so that these first educational experiences are engaging and fun!

Our School Age Programs

Cadence Academy Preschool, Charleston has a number of excellent programs for kindergarten and elementary school students from 5 to 12 years old. We offer before and after school care for students at three elementary schools during the school year and a full day program over school breaks and during Summer Camp.

We provide transportation to and from Drayton Hall Elementary School, Oakland Elementary School, and Springfield Elementary School. Spots are limited, so please contact us to confirm availability. And, as elementary schools are altering schedules, we are here to serve your needs and the needs of your school-aged children with enhanced programs to help with virtual learning sessions and more.

School Director

I started in early childhood education when I was just 20 as I enjoyed working with children. I was a 2-year-old teacher and have been promoted throughout my career. While I enjoyed being in the classroom, being on the management side has shown me a different side. I now enjoy being able to help my teachers with ideas that will challenge a child a little more. Watching the milestones that each child makes and seeing them hit a goal is so rewarding. Seeing the “lightbulb” come on and watching their excitement is the biggest reward ever. In my free time, I like to binge Hallmark and Lifetime movies and spending time with my daughters.

Assistant Director

Upon completion of high school I started my career in early childhood. I began as Teacher and was recently promoted to the assistant director. I like that early childhood education is the foundation for what children will grow up to become.

In my free time, I enjoy shopping and traveling.

Teacher of the Year

I started working in early childhood education in 2021 and I have gained a lot of knowledge and experience over the years. Early childhood education provides a safe environment for young kids/babies and encourages interaction with co-workers and families. It also builds meaningful bonds and connections. In my free time, I take walks and spend time with my family. I like to build with legos and paint.

Our son went to Cadence from the age of 4 months until he was 23 months old. At the beginning, it was a bit of adjustment due to understaffing, yet that was not the fault of the director/assistant director. The staff all cared for our son like he was their own. I could not be more thankful for the time he had there and encourage families to decide for themselves if the school is for them vs just reading reviews. We were so sad to leave, due to a move, but the teachers are amazing, and Miss Misty is an amazing director!

I have had 2 of my daughters in this school, and they both enjoyed their time. My younger one changed 2 classrooms while she attended (because she got older) and the transitions were seamless because the teachers were consistently loving and attentive. My older one STILL talks about her teacher Ms. Heather fondly and misses her. I was so impressed by this because they are NOT ones to take easily to "strangers." Cadence has been a blessing to our family and I'm grateful we got the chance to experience them.
