Your School
We’re parents too. We understand that choosing the best educational child care for your child is one of the hardest decisions you have to make. By providing an environment for your child where they can grow and thrive, we are confident that Cadence Academy Preschool (formerly Fredericksburg Children’s Academy) in Fredericksburg, Virginia is the best preschool you can choose.
At Cadence Academy Preschool we integrate the most important elements in any child care or preschool – giving your child a fun educational experience and care from an amazing team of teachers. Combined, the value our preschool offers is unparalleled. We extend our school’s value by including nutritious meals and enrichment classes such as Spanish, Sports, and Technology without additional fees. If you need loving daycare for your new little one or if you’re looking for a preschool that will prepare your child for success in kindergarten, you’ve come to the right place!
Our proprietary preschool programming is designed to help you make the most of your child’s first educational experiences.
At Cadence Academy Preschool, we set children up for a bright future with unlimited possibilities, so they can lead an adventurous and fun life. We spark creativity and curiosity by giving children unique opportunities to express themselves and their interests. We build confidence and independence through individualized instruction. We teach patience and empathy through our Kind Child Culture. And, our skills-based curriculum is proven to prepare children for Kindergarten and beyond.
Thanks to the flexibility of our Ascend Curriculum, we take an individualized approach to early childhood education and encourage every child to progress towards age-appropriate goals at their natural pace. New skills are introduced sequentially in 9 different learning domains each month and activities are modified to fit the interests and current skill level of each child. This skill-based approach to early education ensures that every child feels engaged, supported, and challenged and makes learning fun!
Another significant part of our curriculum is our Kind Child program. Kind Child is a year-long program for children ages two and older that helps our teachers nurture and strengthen every child’s social and emotional skills. We have found that when we focus on the emotional well-being of each child in our care, we strengthen our school as well. We are confident that Kind Child will continue to strengthen the culture of our entire preschool center by elevating every child’s feelings of happiness, improving their well-being, and enriching their friendships.
Our teachers are encouraged personalize activities from our Ascend Curriculum to help children reach important developmental milestones at every age. We take a unique skill-based approach to early education that progressively builds skill sets in nine subjects every month.
Important skills are introduced in every program and fine-tuned before kindergarten in our popular Kindergarten Club program. We modify activities from our curriculum to match the needs and interests of each student to ensure that these first educational experiences are engaging and fun!
Vibrant colors and busy designs are often overstimulating to young children and can lead to behavioral issues. Our preschool center has homelike learning environments to reduce tension and to help our children transition more successfully from home to school. We use natural tones and soft elements like pillows, fabrics, carpets, and soft lighting to create a nurturing environment where children feel at home and thrive.

I have been in the field of early childhood education since High school. In college I studied early childhood education. I became a director almost 30 years ago and found my home here at Cadence Academy in 2015. I enjoy watching each child grow, learn and progress through the most important years of their lives. There is nothing more joyful than hearing their laughter and seeing their smiles when they make a friend or learn something new. I love partnering with parents in the care of their child. I am committed to doing all I can to ensure each child in our school has the best start to a happy and successful educational journey. I strive to provide a family-like environment where families feel valued, included and encouraged to participate in their children’s experiences at our school. I am the mother of 2 adult children and Mimi to 3 grands. In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with family, boating, reading and watching college football and basketball.
I have been in Early Childhood Education since high school and have my CDA in Early Childcare Education. I became a teacher over 28 years ago and I have been an Assistant Director with Cadence for 2 1/2 years. I enjoy watching children grow, learn and reach those important milestones. I find enjoyment in meeting new families for the first time and walking them through our amazing school and showcasing what Cadence has to offer our families. I am a mother to an 11 year old daughter who started middle school this year. My husband and I have been married for a year. Fun fact: We were married in Tennessee by a Hillbilly. Our heart is in Tennessee and we hope to retire there some day.
