Preschool
Our preschool program invites children starting at 3 years up to 5 years old. Though we introduce early academic concepts, we believe that learning happens naturally through open-ended play.
Our Preschool Program Is Where “I Can Do It” Begins
Something shifts between ages three and five. Children who once needed help with everything start insisting on doing things themselves. That spark of independence – the pride of figuring something out, making a choice, earning a small win- is one of the most important things a preschool can nurture.
Our preschool program is built around that moment. We create the conditions for children to feel genuinely capable: through play, conversation, and a curriculum that meets each child where they are and gently stretches them further.
90% of a child’s brain develops by age five. Learning that happens in these years shapes attitudes, aptitudes, and achievements for decades to come. We take that seriously, and we make it fun!
The Research Is Clear: Preschool Changes Outcomes
Quality preschool education offers both short- and long-term benefits that go well beyond kindergarten readiness. Studies consistently link effective preschool programs to stronger academic performance, higher educational attainment, and even better outcomes in adulthood.
But outcomes aren’t built through early academics alone. They’re built through joyful, stimulating experiences — the kind that make a child want to come back tomorrow. Our program is designed to deliver both.
What Makes Our Preschool Program Different?
When choosing a new preschool near you, you’ll want to find a quality program. As you begin your search, look for the following factors to ensure you are choosing the right program for your child.
- Small Group & Center-Based learning: Teacher-led small groups and independent learning centers let children explore at their own pace while building the skills needed for kindergarten.
- Differentiated Instruction: Teachers challenge children who are ready for more and support those who need more guidance — in the same classroom. No child is left waiting or left behind.
- Kind Child Culture™: Respect, empathy, and cooperation are woven into every part of the day, actively practiced, and modeled.
- Spanish Language Integration: Spanish vocabulary, songs, and stories are introduced daily. Research shows ages 3–4 are the optimal window for second language acquisition.
- Parent Partnership: We set learning goals with you, not just for your child. Regular communication, progress reports, and open-door relationships are built into our model.
- Accreditation and Quality Ratings: Many Cadence locations are NAEYC accredited or hold a state quality rating, a recognition that goes well beyond basic licensing. Ask any of our School Directors when you tour your new Cadence Education preschool!
How We Support Your Preschooler’s Development
Three- and four-year-olds are growing in every direction at once: intellectually, emotionally, socially, and physically. Our curriculum addresses all four areas because children who feel secure and capable learn more readily than those who don’t.
Thinking & Learning (Cognitive)
Children are born with 100 billion brain cells, each capable of forming thousands of connections. The experiences your preschooler has right now are literally shaping their brain’s architecture.
Our curriculum provides the rich, varied stimulation that drives those connections: math, science, social studies, literacy, and hands-on exploration woven together in ways that feel like play.
Feelings & Relationships (Socio-Emotional)
The relationships children form in preschool with teachers and with peers shape how they learn to manage emotions, collaborate, and navigate the world for years to come. Our teachers model and reinforce healthy emotional responses, collaborative play, and the social awareness that makes a classroom community work.
Through our Kind Child Culture™, children practice kindness, patience, and empathy as daily habits not occasional lessons. These are the skills that fuel academic success and happy relationships throughout life.
Moving & Creating (Physical)
Preschoolers learn through movement. Running, jumping, climbing, painting, cutting, and building all develop the gross and fine motor skills that support writing, reading, and focused learning in kindergarten.
Our indoor and outdoor environments give children the safe, supervised space to move, create, and grow physically.
What Makes Our Preschool Program Your Best Choice?
Rich Conversation: Teachers engage children in real dialogue throughout the day — asking open-ended questions, listening genuinely, and building the vocabulary and language skills that are the foundation of all future learning.
Love of Literacy: Stories come alive in our classrooms. Books are teaching tools across every subject: art, math, cooking, science, and fitness. Daily reading builds vocabulary, imagination, and a genuine love of reading.
Math & Science Exploration: Counting, categorizing, measuring, experimenting — these aren’t worksheets, they’re activities children do with their hands, with friends, and with real materials.
Creative Expression: Art, dramatic play, puppet shows, and storytelling give children unique ways to express themselves, develop abstract thinking, and build confidence.
Kind Child Culture™ Moments: Empathy and cooperation are practiced all day long during transitions, at lunch, on the playground. Our teachers create opportunities to coach social skills in real time.
Growing Up Fit: Fun fitness exercises, outdoor play, and classroom cooking projects build healthy habits early. Physical activity is part of every day, not an afterthought.
Learning Spanish: Spanish greetings, numbers, weather, food, animals, and more are woven naturally into songs, games, and daily routines. Vocabulary is sent home for family practice.
Confidence through Choices: Throughout the day, children make real decisions about their learning. Those small moments of agency build the “I can do it” confidence that defines a thriving preschooler.
Limited Technology Time: Occasional, brief, age-appropriate computer activities build early literacy, math, and science skills.
Our Parent Partnership Promise
The best outcomes for children happen when families and educators are genuinely working together, not just exchanging updates, but sharing goals.
We work with you to set clear learning goals for your child, then communicate regularly on how we’re working toward them together. Progress reports, teacher meetings, and an open-door culture mean you always know where your child stands and how you can support their growth at home. Your involvement isn’t a nice-to-have. Research shows it’s one of the most powerful predictors of a child’s academic success. We’re set up to make it easy.

Ready for Kindergarten and Everything After
Preschool isn’t just preparation for kindergarten. It’s the beginning of your child’s relationship with learning itself. When children leave our preschool program, they carry confidence, curiosity, and the belief that they can figure things out.
That’s the foundation everything else is built on. We’d love to show you what it looks like in person.
Our Promise
We provide parents with peace of mind by giving children an exceptional education every fun-filled day in a place as nurturing as home.
