Daycare and Preschool Programs Offered

Cadence Academy Preschool offers a variety of childcare and early education programs designed to support children at every stage of development. We have programs for every child, and our team can help you choose the right fit for your family.

• Infant Daycare: A nurturing, home-like environment where infants receive individualized care, sensory experiences, and loving support during their earliest stages of development.
• Toddler Daycare: An active learning environment where curious toddlers develop independence, communication skills, and confidence through exploration and guided play.
• Preschool: A play-based learning environment where children strengthen school-readiness skills, build confidence, and develop a lifelong love of learning.
• Pre-Kindergarten: A structured, engaging learning environment where children build the academic, social, and emotional skills needed for a confident transition to kindergarten and beyond.

Ascend Curriculum

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!

Kind Child Program

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.

What Makes Our Daycare and Preschool Unique

At Cadence Academy Preschool DuPont, many of our families stay with us from infancy through elementary school, building long-lasting relationships that often continue even after they move away. This strong sense of connection reflects the supportive community we have created with both children and families over time.

What sets our school apart is our commitment to high-quality early education combined with meaningful daily experiences. Our center is NAEYC Accredited, reflecting the highest standards of early childhood care and education, and is supported by experienced, dedicated teachers who provide hands-on learning opportunities both inside and outside the classroom.

Children enjoy nutritious, family-style meals and snacks each day, along with developmentally supportive Baby Signs® programs that encourage early communication skills. In addition, our modern, security-controlled facility is located in a family-friendly neighborhood, offering a safe and welcoming environment for children to learn and grow.

We also support families through partnerships with NACCRRA and Army Child Care in Your Neighborhood, helping expand access to quality care. To support school readiness, we focus on kindergarten preparation through our Pre-K Plus and Kindergarten Club programs, while maintaining strong family communication through weekly emails, photos, progress updates, and classroom newsletters.

A Preschool Built on Family and Community

Family involvement is an important part of our daycare and preschool community. As a small, close-knit early learning center, we believe families are an integral part of the program and encourage parents to actively participate in their child’s educational journey.

Parents have opportunities to see their children’s teachers daily and to participate in the program as their schedules allow. This close relationship enhances each child’s personal growth and achievement and promotes a secure and safe environment. Communication between teacher and families adds to each child’s learning environment and offers support for continued success.
