NAEYC Accreditation
We are VERY proud to be an NAEYC accredited center. The National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC) is the nation’s leading organization working to improve the quality of early childhood education for all young children, from birth through age eight.
An accredited program must meet all 10 of the NAEYC Early Childhood Program Standards and undergo an on-site visit by a NAEYC Accreditation Reviewer every five years. The standards focus on program quality, including curriculum, teacher qualifications and training, assessment of child progress, health and safety, and family involvement.
For more information about NAEYC, the National Association for the Education of Young Children, and the high quality standards they demand of their accredited programs, please visit the NAEYC website.
Our Curriculum
The curriculum at our Seekonk, MA school — and all schools in the Cadence Academy network — provides a strong foundation for children’s academic success. Our teachers provide a warm, nurturing environment in which every child can be successful.
The Academy’s curriculum is designed to meet the needs of each child. Our teachings are based on current research and help children develop physically, emotionally, socially, and intellectually.
The curriculum is also based on the principles of developmentally appropriate practice, which means that our programs are designed to work according to every child’s learning level and pace. It is made to foster children’s natural curiosity and to help them develop a lifelong love of learning. Children retain more when they are having fun, so our programs emphasize learning through play.
Loving and Nurturing Program for Infants and Toddlers
We believe that the first three years of life are the most important for a child’s emotional, social, and intellectual development. That is why our infant and toddler programs emphasize love and nurturing — in a comforting place that feels a lot like home. Our teachers provide individual attention and get to know children’s unique personalities and interests.
The infant program includes age-appropriate activities such as tummy time, crawling, pulling up to standing, cruising, walking, and talking. The toddler program features discovery opportunities such as pouring liquids and solids, using safety scissors, stacking blocks, making towers with straws, scribbling with crayons, stringing beads, and sweeping.
Both programs include plenty of time for exploration in our developmentally appropriate classrooms as well as outdoor playtime in our secure playground.
Academic Excellence for Preschoolers
The preschool program is designed to prepare children for kindergarten. The curriculum at our Seekonk preschool center includes language, math, arts, science, and social studies. Our teachers use a variety of teaching methods including whole group instruction, small groups, and individual instruction.
We also use the constructivist approach to teaching, which is based on the idea that children learn best through exploring and constructing their own understanding of the world. We believe that children are natural learners and that they should be given opportunities to explore a variety of topics in depth.
The Academy’s Preschool curriculum is aligned with the Massachusetts State Standards for Preschool.
Parent Communication App
We have an extraordinary Parent Communication App that our teachers use daily to relay information and send pictures to family members, send newsletters, and track developmental progress for each child’s portfolio. With this application, parents and guardians are able to opt into email or text alerts, and they can receive any information, instantaneously, about their child and their child’s school day.
Teachers and staff can tag daily pictures with our Developmental Domains (Social/Emotional, Physical, Artistic, Cognitive, and Language/Literacy) and are then able to communicate with the parents and guardians by adding captions or sending quick little notes.
Families LOVE this feature, and we’re utilizing it more and more each day! We are so excited to be able to communicate with our families throughout the day and to show them what their children are learning each day.
We invite you to visit our preschool and daycare center in Seekonk, MA! Please stop by or contact us to schedule an appointment. We would love to meet you and your family!

Tanya Bumpus
Director
I have been in the field of Early Childhood Education since 2010. I began my journey as a teacher right out of college, worked with all age groups and worked my way up to Director. I have an associate degree in early childhood as well as being Director II Certified by the Massachusetts Department of Early Education and Care. I love working with children every day and watching them learn and grow to reach their every milestone. Being part of Cadence and their Philosophy of providing an exceptional education with fun-filled days in a place as nurturing as home means so much to me. Seekonk has always been a second home to me since day one. On top of caring for the children here in Seekonk, I also have four children of my own: three in which have attended this center.
Accreditations
NAEYC Accreditation
Every child deserves access to high-quality early learning experiences. NAEYC (National Association for the Education of Young Children) has set 10 standards for early childhood programs that can help families make the right choice when they are looking for a child care center, preschool, or kindergarten. The standards and criteria are also the foundation of the NAEYC Accreditation system for early childhood programs. To earn NAEYC Accreditation, schools must go through an extensive self-study and quality-improvement process, followed by an on-site visit by NAEYC Assessors to verify and ensure that the program meets each of the ten program standards, and hundreds of corresponding individual criteria. NAEYC-accredited programs are always prepared for unannounced quality-assurance visits during their accreditation term, which lasts for five years. In the 30 years since NAEYC Accreditation was established, it has become a widely recognized sign of high-quality early childhood education. More than 7,000 programs are currently accredited by NAEYC—less than 10 percent of all child care centers, preschools, and kindergartens nationally achieve this recognition.
