Cadence was such a great experience for us. They are personable- which I really appreciated. I always felt welcomed and if anything came up, Ms. Jenn or Ms. Kayle were quick to help. We loved all of the classrooms, however K4 was really great for my child. She learned so much and Mrs. Crystal and Mrs. Kali truly prepared her for Kindergarten. She is now excelling with everything they are going over in Kindergarten. Where you have your children is SO important. They also have these day passes for young children along with school aged kids for drop offs- this is super helpful when public schools have teacher workdays for working parents! Can’t thank them enough

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Cadence Academy. Both my girls have gone here since they were young infants and gotten the best care. Super responsive to our questions and concerns. The director is always listening and willing to work with us for any issues that arise. They were great when my youngest had a speech delay getting us connected to Babynet and Speech Therapy and help advocate for her needs. Always making improvements to make the experience better each year.

My child has developed so much! I personally appreciate every single teacher at Cadence Academy!!! My child went from not being friendly to saying hello to random people in the grocery store! And they love it! So once again thank you all! My daughter literally looks forward to going to school everyday!
