Welcome to Cadence Academy Preschool on the Far West Side of San Antonio, Texas near the  Wildhorse, Helotes, and Alamo Ranch neighborhoods — your child’s home away from home!

Ensuring high-quality care and early learning for Texas’ youngest learners.

Texas Rising Star is a quality rating program that recognizes child care centers going above state standards to deliver stronger early education. Why it matters: kids in higher-quality programs show up to school more confident, capable, and ready to learn. Our 3-Star rating puts us among the best!  It reflects engaging classrooms, meaningful teacher interactions, and a real focus on every child’s growth. It means that your child is not just cared for, they are supported, challenged, and set up to thrive from day one.  

In 2025, the Texas Legislature passed Senate Bill 2 and provided $1 billion in funding to create the Texas Education Freedom Accounts (TEFA) program and give parents greater freedom and flexibility in choosing the best educational environment for their children. The TEFA program, administered by the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts, is expected to be the largest day-one school choice initiative in the nation.

Here are the programs we offer for your little ones at our San Antonio center:

At our San Antonio preschool, we offer a safe and fun environment for your child.

Misty Sauceda

Misty Sauceda

School Director

I have worked in early childhood education for 20 years. I started with Cadence Academy-Wildhorse in September of 2010 as a preschool teacher in a 3-year-old classroom. I then moved into school leadership as the assistant director in 2014 and then eventually took over as the school director in 2019. I love early childhood education because it builds the foundation for lifelong learning. Children are curious, eager to explore, and open to new experiences at this age, making it a perfect time to foster their natural creativity, critical thinking, and social skills. I look forward to meeting new families and get excited to know each family as a whole will flourish from our school and the programs we offer. I take great pride in building life-long relationships with the families that walk through our doors every day and leading a team that is just as passionate as I am for early childhood education. When I am not at work I enjoy being around family and friends and looking for new adventures. I have a 15 year-old daughter that keeps me busy as her personal Uber driver but I wouldn’t have it any other way.

Ms. Leticia

Ms. Leticia

Teacher of the Year

Leticia’s classroom is a model of excellence. Despite having a full enrollment of 18 energetic toddlers (18–24 months), her space feels calm, organized, and engaging. She seamlessly balances structure with flexibility, always prioritizing the needs of her students. Her nurturing and patient approach fosters not just care but true learning, making her an exceptional educator.

Beyond her own classroom, Leticia is a leader among her peers. She is a trusted mentor, offering guidance and insight to fellow teachers. Colleagues frequently seek her advice, and she plays an active role in professional development, leading discussions and supporting new team members as they acclimate to our school community.

What stands out most is the atmosphere she creates in her classroom. When I walk in, the children are not rushing over to say hello—they are too engaged in meaningful, hands-on learning experiences. Leticia transitions effortlessly between activities using songs and rhythms, keeping the energy positive and the children captivated. She embraces wet and messy play with enthusiasm, ensuring every day is filled with fun, creativity, and discovery.

Our son joined Cadence Academy at the beginning of the year, and he has thrived ever since then. We are so impressed with his development and the kindness, attentiveness, and patience of the entire staff. Miss Misty is to be recognized for her dedication to the school, staff, and students. We have most definitely found our second home with Cadence Academy.

We can’t say enough good things about Cadence Academy! Our daughter has been a student here for over two years and the care and attention she’s received have been incredible. A special thank you to pre-k Ms. Teresa and Ms. Guiselle, along with Director Misty Sauceda, for creating such a nurturing and supportive environment. Our daughter has grown so much during her time here, and we’re so grateful for everything the staff has done for her. From easing drop of transition struggles, to back pats at nap time when my daughter was restless, to braiding her post nap hair, I can say that every encounter is both nurturing and structured. They have flexible options for part time care (MWF, TTH, or AM only) if you’re looking for that and a great full time program. I’m so happy we found Cadence!

I transferred my daughter to this center back on February, and I was pretty nervous. She had been going to the same center her brother went to for 5 years so I was familiar with the environment. Too high of turn over rates from their previous center led me to moving her to Cadence Academy. As any parent I was beyond nervous. I knew my daughter was at an age where starting at a new center with new faces was going to be an emotional challenge. After about a week or two (which is normal) she quickly adapted to Cadence. THE BIGGEST SHOUT OUT to Ms. Debbie, Ms. Amanda, and Ms. Briana! They have made this transition so amazing for not her my but for us as parents as well. I love being acknowledged when we walk into the classroom, as well as at the front desk! I can feel the love they have for my daughter and that can make such a difference! I am so happy I made the choice to remove my daughter from her previous daycare and even more happy I chose Cadence Academy. We are forever grateful for her 3 teachers!
