Cadence in Mauldin is a wonderful place for your child to learn and grow. You can tell that the staff truly loves what they do. Taking care and teaching very young children is demanding and rewarding and Cadence Academy does it well. I felt that my child was safe and loved. They were always available and willing to answer all of my questions and concerns.

Our family has had a wonderful experience with Cadence Academy on Butler Road. I called Cadence in a panic when my maternity leave was coming to an end and I found out we weren’t going to get in to another daycare. They scheduled us for a tour quickly, welcomed us with open arms, and worked with us on our preferred start date. There are several things that make me feel great about taking my child to Cadence Academy. First, Danielle and Kirsten greet us with smiles every day. They over communicate what is happening at Cadence which is very helpful. Second, I adore my child’s teachers in the infant room! They genuinely care about my child and give me wonderful reports each day. After about a week of blowouts, they very kindly suggested that it may be time to go up in diaper size (DUH!). They didn’t make me feel like a terrible mom for not realizing that. Third, I truly appreciate how well Cadence uses their app. I get real time updates throughout the day and as a breastfeeding mom, I love that I can stay on the same pumping schedule. Finally, since my work schedule is flexible, we have fluctuated on drop offs and pick ups and they have been incredibly accommodating to our weekly changing schedule. I could go on and on, but these are the things that have made our experience trusting Cadence great so far!
