I’ve been with Cadence since April 2014, starting in the classroom and working my way up to School Director. I love that my role still allows me to pop into classrooms, connect with the children, and build strong relationships with families. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my husband, our three children, and our two dogs. We stay active with sports and love being outdoors as much as possible.

Since 2005, I have worked in various roles including Lead Infant and Toddler Teacher and Assistant Director. I am passionate about creating nurturing environments where children can thrive. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my fiancé, two children, and three German Shepherds, as well as camping, playing softball, and enjoying music and art.

I think Cadence Academy has been really good for my children. They love the teachers. I love getting information about how they’re doing. I think they make my children feel very comfortable. I would definitely love to have friends who attend the same school as my children.

Cadence is a quality program. I feel that our son enjoys being there and is learning positive behaviors that we try to teach him at home.

We love Cadence! We started at Cadence earlier this year, and everyone has been warm and welcoming which helped ease the transition to a new daycare. The kids are safe, engaged, and always doing something fun. I truly feel at ease having my kids at Cadence!

We've been with Cadence for about 5 years. After switching from a daycare that was not the greatest experience, Cadence was a refreshing new start. Both of my kids had thrived since being with Cadence. You can see how much the teachers care about the kids in everything they do, from activities to just play time, the teachers put in the thought to make it fun, while still learning! The bond my kids made with all of the kids/teachers there will last a lifetime, and I couldn't recommend the place enough!
