Our state-of-the-art facilities were designed with children and teachers in mind. We intentionally keep our class sizes small to optimize growth for each child. Your child will love our huge indoor play gyms that offer a great environment for running, climbing, and getting great exercise all year long!

Our teachers prioritize the following skills in every child:

  • following multiple directions
  • letter recognition
  • number recognition
  • manners
  • recognizing individual differences
  • encouraging appropriate social interaction through team projects and play

We encourage self-expression and independent decision-making in every child. Your child will have opportunities to succeed in our program at their own pace. This will help develop a positive self-image and encourage a love of learning.

Controlled classroom play encourages your child to be self-controlled, self-directed, and courteous. We will introduce your child to cooperative problem-solving skills by encouraging classmates to communicate with one another to solve simple problems on their own.

Ascend Curriculum Logo

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!

We excel in all 6 standards set by the National Accreditation Commission for Early Care and Education Programs (NAC). Our standards for administration, family engagement, health and safety, curriculum, interactions between teachers and children, and classroom health and safety are even higher. Our teachers and staff take a holistic approach to child care. We understand that each child is different, and we strive to meet the needs of every kiddo who walks through our doors.

We have had the absolute greatest experience at Cadence. We came here after a poor experience at another center, and from the moment we had our tour, Melissa (director) helped us to feel welcome and comfortable. This warm sense of “home away from home” has only grown from there. Every teacher is patient, kind and loving. My daughter learns so much both academically and beyond. I only wish we decided on this center, Miss Melissa, and all the staff, earlier. It’s a lifelong positive impact; to be part of Cadence Academy on Silver Spring.

Our family has been at Cadence for the past 8 years, and we’ve had a really wonderful experience. We’ve experienced the many changes at the school over the past few years, and the current director, Melissa, has been amazing. She has brought so many positive changes and truly cares about both the kids and the staff. You can feel that in the environment every day. The teachers and staff have always been wonderful—kind, caring, and genuinely invested in the kids. Our children have learned so much here and have always felt safe, supported, and loved. The educational content truly prepared our child for elementary school. We’re getting close to aging out, and it’s bittersweet because this center has been such a big part of our family’s life for so long. We’re so grateful for the care and support we’ve received over the years. I would absolutely recommend Cadence to any family in the area looking for a caring, educational environment for their kids.
