Unlocking the Treasures of Early Learning at Cadence Academy Preschool

Embracing the Power of Play-Based Education

Play-based learning is the cornerstone of Cadence Academy Preschool's educational approach. We believe that children learn best through exploration, discovery, and hands-on experiences. Our play-based curriculum fosters creativity, problem-solving skills, and a lifelong love of learning.

According to the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC), play-based learning:

  • Enhances children's cognitive and language development
  • Develops social and emotional skills
  • Promotes physical activity and healthy habits
  • Encourages self-expression and confidence

Nurturing Growth and Development

At Cadence Academy Preschool, our experienced and dedicated teachers create a warm and nurturing environment where children feel safe and supported to grow and develop. We believe in fostering a sense of belonging and empowering each child to reach their full potential.

  • Cognitive Development: Through play-based learning, children develop problem-solving, critical thinking, and decision-making skills.
  • Language Development: We encourage children to engage in conversations, storytelling, and imaginative play, which helps them expand their vocabulary and develop their communication abilities.
  • Social and Emotional Development: Our programs foster cooperation, empathy, and self-regulation. Children learn how to interact with others, manage their emotions, and develop a positive self-image.
  • Physical Development: We provide ample opportunities for movement, including outdoor play, physical education classes, and imaginative play.

A Day in the Life of a Cadence Academy Preschooler

  • Morning: Children arrive at preschool and greet their teachers and classmates. They engage in free play and participate in circle time, where they sing songs, read stories, and have discussions.
  • Afternoon: After lunch, children participate in structured activities that enhance their cognitive, language, and social-emotional development. These activities may include art projects, science experiments, music and movement, and dramatic play.

The Cadence Advantage

  • Low Teacher-to-Child Ratios: Our small class sizes ensure that each child receives individualized attention and support.
  • Highly Qualified Teachers: Our teachers are certified and experienced in early childhood education and are committed to providing a nurturing and stimulating learning environment.
  • Exceptional Curriculum: Our curriculum is aligned with national standards and is designed to meet the unique developmental needs of preschoolers.
  • State-of-the-Art Facilities: Our preschools are safe, secure, and equipped with the latest educational materials and technology.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

  • Expecting too much too soon: Allow children to learn and develop at their own pace.
  • Micromanaging play: Provide a supportive environment for play without interfering or dictating.
  • Neglecting communication: Engage in conversations with children and encourage them to express themselves.
