About Cadence Academy Preschool, Surfside

Cadence Academy Preschool, Surfside provides loving care and early education programs for preschool children between the ages of 6 weeks and 5 years old and after school care and summer camp for local elementary students. We take a skills-based approach to early education that balances the development of intellectual, creative, and physical skill and we attend to the social and emotional needs of our students through our Kind Child program.

We are very excited to announce that we are participating in the First Steps 4K program and the new First Steps 4K + SIBLINGS program. First Steps 4K offers free four-year-old kindergarten to qualifying children in South Carolina. First Steps 4K + SIBLINGS extends childcare and after-school scholarships through the SC Voucher Program, for up to 52 weeks, to any siblings, age 0-12, of a First Steps 4K enrolled student. You can learn more and apply online for both First Steps 4K and First Steps 4K + SIBLINGS at Free4KSC.org.

Our Preschool Programs

Our Approach to Early Education

We believe that the best way to support the early development of academic skill is to give our preschool children an appropriate level of control over their learning process. Our students are continually offered a variety of playful educational activities in learning centers around the classroom and also take part in lots of small group activities with our teachers.

Ascend Curriculum LogoOur Ascend Curriculum starts in our Infant program and is designed to help our children progressively valuable build skill sets that will serve them in kindergarten and beyond! We introduce new skills in nine subject areas every month and modify individual activities to match the interests and learning styles of our students so that these first education experiences are engaging and fun!

What Makes Our Preschool Unique?

  • We provide our parents an app which keeps you updated on your child’s progress throughout the day.
  • Our lead teachers have their South Carolina teaching credentials and many have their Associates or Bachelors degree too.
  • Our wonderful cook prepares a nutritious breakfast, lunch, and afternoon snack daily at no additional cost.
  • We have the best After School program in Surfside Beach, which includes homework help and free transportation from local elementary schools.
  • We offer programs for school-age children during school breaks.

School Director

I joined the Cadence Academy family in May 2014. I grew up in Montgomery County, MD, right outside of DC. I always knew I wanted to be a teacher and began working with children in high school. I pursued a degree in early childhood education and taught preschool for 10 years. In 2004 I was promoted to Director and then a Manager within the same company. In April of 2014, my husband and I moved to Myrtle Beach and I joined the Cadence Academy family in May 2014. I am truly grateful to have the opportunity to work with such amazing teachers, children and families!

I just moved to the area and viewed a couple schools, private and corporate. I would have to say all together I loved this school, the best. The teachers looked happy and so did the kidos.

By far the BEST daycare I’ve had my daughter in. Ms. Donna and Amanda are amazing. They truly care about the kids and the parents too. I’ve told them on numerous occasions could they just follow my girl til graduation. She loves attending school. Her teachers love her. Them embracing my child makes me love them more. And the amount she’s learned has been outstanding. This daycare is such a GODSEND!
