About Cadence Academy Preschool in Flower Mound, TX
Cadence Academy Preschool, Flower Mound offers childcare and early education programs for infants, toddlers, and preschool children and Before & After School and Summer Camp for kindergarten and school age students. Previously operating under the name Phoenix Children’s Academy, we rebranded to Cadence Academy Preschool in August 2019 as part of our school’s ongoing commitment to provide families in Flower Mound the very best preschool programming! If you’re looking for the best preschool in Flower Mound, look no further.
We maintain low child to staff ratios, which allows our children to reap the benefits of small group instruction and individualized attention. Our Ascend Curriculum provides our teachers and students a balance of structure and flexibility. Every month, teachers introduce new skills in a broad variety of subject areas such as Literacy, Mathematics, Sign Language, Technology, and Physical Education, but they are able to select themes and activities based on the interest level and learning styles of their students. We want your child’s first educational experiences to be engaging, challenging, and fun so they develop a positive attitude towards education!

Kind Child Program
Kind Child is the foundation of our school culture and a core subject within our Ascend Curriculum. Kind Child is designed to nurture and strengthen every child’s social skills and we actively work on the development of a specific character trait such as Responsibility, Thankfulness, Friendship, and a Positive Self-Image every two months. We want to elevate the emotional well-being of every child in our care and create a caring environment where everyone feels welcome!
Kindergarten Readiness
Preparing your child for success in kindergarten is an important part of our promise to you and a recent study showed that nearly two-thirds of our pre-kindergarten students were Advanced Ready for kindergarten.
Our curriculum and dedicated teachers work hand-in-hand to progressively introduce skills that will serve your child in elementary school and beyond. We work towards important milestones within nine different subject areas at every age level and fine-tune certain skills just before kindergarten in our Kindergarten Club program.

After starting as a 2’s teacher in 2010, Kelley quickly moved into leadership and joined the Cadence family in 2023.

Cirila Pena
North Texas Region Teacher of the Year
Cirila Pena is proud to be celebrating her 40th year with Cadence, including the past five years at Timbercreek. Kindness is at the heart of everything she does—whether it’s greeting each child with a smile, supporting her teammates, or creating a warm and welcoming classroom.
She loves keeping her students engaged in activities that spark curiosity and build confidence. For Cirila, the little things—like bringing treats for her class or lending a helping hand—are just as meaningful as the big milestones. Her greatest joy is knowing that every child in her care feels safe, loved, and ready to thrive.
