About Cadence Academy Preschool

We’re very excited that you want to learn about our preschool! We believe that one visit to Cadence Academy Preschool (formerly Growing Kids Academy) will show you that we’re not an ordinary daycare center. With beautiful natural light, lots of visual stimulation, and hands-on Learning Labs, our preschool academy feels more like an interactive children’s museum, and that’s our goal.

Cadence Academy Preschool is arranged so our students have endless opportunities to interact with the environment, peers, and teachers. Preschool children ages 3 to 5 are rotated to different Learning Labs throughout the day, which are designed to progressively encourage the development of physical, cognitive, emotional, and social skill. Our teachers individualize activities within our Ascend Curriculum to the interests and current skill level of each student so that these early educational experiences are engaging and fun!

Our Preschool’s Programs

Kind Child Program

Kind Child LogoKindness is the foundation of our preschool’s culture and Kind Child is a proprietary program that helps us focus on the emotional well-being of each child in our care. We want every child that walks through our doors to feel welcome and at home and we have made Kind Child programming a standard part of our monthly curriculum. We work towards the development of social and emotional skills each month and focus on a character trait such as a Positive Self-Image, Empathy, Politeness, and Thankfulness every two months.

Getting Ready for Kindergarten

Kindergarten Club logoAn exceptional, fun-filled education is part of our preschool’s promise to you. Our skill-based Ascend Curriculum and dedicated teachers work hand-in-hand to create early educational experiences that will serve your child in elementary school and beyond. Skills within 9 different subject areas are progressively introduced starting in our Infant and Toddler programs and are further developed in Preschool and Pre-Kindergarten. We work towards important developmental milestones at every age level and polish these skills just before kindergarten in Kindergarten Club.

Our Location

Cadence Academy Preschool is nestled between I-95 and U.S. 1 (Jefferson Davis Highway) and is also just south of U.S. 17 in Fredericksburg, Virginia. The best way to get to our preschool is via Spotsylvania Parkway, which borders us to the south. If you have a school age student, we provide transportation to and from Lee Hill Elementary, Riverview Elementary, Cedar Forest Elementary School, Parkside Elementary School, Courtland Elementary, and Courthouse Road Elementary in Spotsylvania.

I was an apprehensive mostly stay-at-home mom (but weekend employed) to an only child. I got a full time job offer that I just couldn’t refuse and started looking into Pre-K/childcare options. When I toured Cadence, I was highly impressed with the building cleanliness, staff patience with children and Ascend curriculum that is utilized. Once enrolled, my child’s personality blossomed and she’s continued to reach learning milestones. Cadence Academy teachers encourage my child’s creativity while teaching her crucial skills like writing, letter sounds and introductory math. Also, the staff has mastered the crucial ability of keeping me updated on my child’s current status without bombardment. I do not regret enrolling my child and I’m not apprehensive about community-sourced child care anymore. Had I been in the local area when my child was younger and heard about Cadence, I would’ve enrolled my child sooner. I had high expectations when enrolling my child and Cadence has met every single one. Thank you Ms Chennelle, Melissa, Brittany and the rest of the Pre-K team for providing phenomenal care to my child & her education when I bring her to your establishment so I can pursue my career. For anxious parents reading reviews as I did prior to enrolling, keep in mind, angry individuals would rather be heard instead of relaying provided solutions. I’m glad I went with my parental instinct instead of relying on negative thoughts of others.

Brittany and Melissa provide exceptional. Care for my daughter. She has grown so much over the last 2 years of attending. Cadence. Which led my best friend to also bring his daughter there as well. the level of communication and professionalism they show week in and week out is incredible. And I love how easy they are to instantly get ahold of if I have any questions!

I highly recommend this preschool. My daughter was super shy kid and never felt comfortable when Im not with her. 2-3 months before I sent my daughter here, I tried different pre-school which made my life more harder. Mu daughter stoped laughing or do anything after coming from school. She wakes up at night and started screaming like I don't want to ho to school. Soon I changed her preschool and started sending to Cadence I can clearly see a lot of difference. She had tough time in initial days but her teachers made her feel at home which helped her transition so easy. Im so glad that I selected Cadence preschool for my daughter and highly recommend this school to all the parents .
