Parent Reviews
We are parents who have had a child at Cadence Academy Preschool (previously Apple Tree Children’s Center) for 11 1/2 years. Each of our three children has had a different yet similar experience. I can honestly say there is nothing I feel should be changed. Every year, every day and with every child the teachers and directors show up with love to provide a safe and educational environment. There is no greater gift then having a safe and loving environment for your children. My children have all been well prepared for Kindergarten, both educationally and socially. I have always been secure in their safety. The teachers have helped us raise these little people during some very chaotic and challenging times. In 6 short weeks our youngest will start kindergarten and we will walk out of this center for the last time. It will be a day filled with bittersweet emotions. We will be eternally grateful to have found this gem when we were searching for childcare prior to our oldest son’s birth. Thank you to every teacher who has helped shape our children into the kind little souls they are blossoming to be!
Our daughter has been attending Cadence for only a few months, but we’ve been nothing but pleased with our experience so far. The teachers and director seem to genuinely care about our child, which makes me feel confident about the quality of care she receives. I also like the fact that I can “check in” on the app throughout the day for updates and pictures!
via cadence-education.comYou know your child has an amazing teacher when they want to become whatever it is they’re learning about at school. 👩🏼🏫👍🏻👍🏻 Michelle Flanegan, you are a wonderful, engaging educator. 👏🏻 Thank you for all that you are and all that you do. ❤️ Gabriel is completely and totally obsessed with learning about and talking about (constantly!) tornadoes, hurricanes, tsunamis, you name it, and he now wants to be a meteorologist when he grows up. 😉
From the moment we enrolled our child, we have been consistently impressed by the warm and nurturing environment. The staff is incredibly attentive and genuinely cares about each child's development and well-being. The curriculum is engaging and age-appropriate, fostering creativity and social skills while ensuring a fun and safe atmosphere. Our child has thrived here, making friends and learning new things every day. It’s such a relief to know our little one is in such capable and loving hands. Highly recommend to any parent looking for a top-notch daycare!
I gave a high score because Cadence provides a warm, welcoming environment where the majority of the staff knows each child and their family by name. It feels personal and community-oriented, and the learning environment is both positive and supportive. I’ve consistently seen great care and engagement from the staff, which gives me confidence in the experience my child is having.
The staff and their commitment to making the center feel welcoming and safe is one of the biggest reasons to choose Cadence. Our daughter has developed by leaps and bounds and I know she's getting the social skills needed to be successful.
The teachers at the school are wonderful. Currently, our daughter has Si'Le, Grace, Shayna, and Shay and adores all of them. The activities that she gets to participate in, the lesson plans, etc. all offer great learning opportunities and fun.
We are impressed by teachers’ genuine care. Amazing leadership. Responsiveness to parent's questions and concerns. Attentiveness to my child and his well-being, growth and learning experience. Lots of family events and support. The list goes on!!
Our kids come home everyday having learned something new. We can see such growth in both kids and truly notice the impact cadence teachers have on them. They live going to school because of the atmosphere prvoided by both teachers and admin/ staff.
