About Cadence Academy Preschool in Puyallup, WA
Cadence Academy Preschool uses an emergent curriculum focused on the child’s individual strengths, interests & developmental needs of each child within the class. The curriculum is research based and incorporates observation & assessment into our daily planning; the teacher observes each child throughout the week, documents their observations and creates a weekly plan of activities to meet each child’s needs. Individualization is an important part of our center that we believe strengthens each child’s skills.
Our activities are in the fields of: Art, Science, Literacy, Math, Technology, Social Studies

Alysha Storey
School Director
I fell in love with early childhood education when I first became a teacher. Having a hand in the development of children and partnering with families is such a rewarding process. As my passion continued to grow, I became an assistant director and shortly after became a director. I plan to support the needs of early childhood education as much as I can. In my free time I enjoy camping and riding with my friends and family and I recently took up gardening.
Gabriela Vargas
Assistant Director
I began working in early childhood education back in 2017, starting as a teacher assistant in a small community in Prescott, WA. Early on, I realized how passionate I was about supporting young children’s learning and development. Over the years, I pursued further qualifications which opened doors for me to take on lead educator roles. What I love about early childhood education is the opportunity to make a meaningful impact during the most important years of a child’s development. It’s incredibly rewarding to watch young children grow, learn, and discover the world around them through play, creativity and exploration. I enjoy building trusting relationships with both children and their families and helping lay the foundation for a lifelong learning and confidence. Every day brings joy, laughter, and the chance to inspire growth that lasts far beyond the classroom.
I am committed to fostering a positive, nurturing, and safe environment where every child feels seen, valued and inspired to learn. I will support my co-workers through teamwork, respect, and encouragement, and recognize that we succeed best when we lift each other up. To our families, I promise to honor the trust you place in us each day by prioritizing the well-being, growth, and happiness of your children. Together, we can create a community where children can thrive emotionally, socially, and academically.
I am dedicated to showing up each day with kindness, patience, and compassion for early childhood education.

I also enjoy going to concerts in my free time.
