Our Philosophy
We believe in the development of the “Whole Child.” At NGCC Walpole’s all-day preschool, we want every child to be successful academically and to be comfortable with who they are within their community. We focus on areas of growth, including:
- Social
- Emotional
- Physical
- Cognitive
We believe that children learn best through hands-on activities and we offer plenty of diverse indoor and outdoor learning experiences that engage your child through play. Our early childhood center’s “Whole Child” approach helps your child develop self-esteem and a love of learning. As such, our preschool programs are developed from your child’s interests and abilities, so your child learns as they play.

- Infant Childcare (6 weeks – 15 months) – A childcare program that ensures the transition away from home is smooth and joyful experience.

Our Team

Natasha Fernandez
School Director
From a young age I have always loved working with children both babysitting and working at summer camps. In college I began working as a preschool teacher and now I am the School Director of Cadence Academy Preschool in Norwood. I love being part of a child’s first level of education and providing a safe, nurturing environment for children to develop their social and emotional skills and to build meaningful social connections and relationships. In my free time, I love spending time with my husband and 8 year old son vacationing and going on adventures. I also like doing arts and crafts with my son, camping and being outdoors.
