Unlocking the Treasures of Early Learning at Cadence Academy Preschool

Embracing the Power of Play-Based Education

Play-based learning is the cornerstone of Cadence Academy Preschool's educational approach. We believe that children learn best through exploration, discovery, and hands-on experiences. Our play-based curriculum fosters creativity, problem-solving skills, and a lifelong love of learning.

According to the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC), play-based learning:

• Enhances children's cognitive and language development
• Develops social and emotional skills
• Promotes physical activity and healthy habits
• Encourages self-expression and confidence

Nurturing Growth and Development

At Cadence Academy Preschool, our experienced and dedicated teachers create a warm and nurturing environment where children feel safe and supported to grow and develop. We believe in fostering a sense of belonging and empowering each child to reach their full potential.

• Cognitive Development: Through play-based learning, children develop problem-solving, critical thinking, and decision-making skills.
• Language Development: We encourage children to engage in conversations, storytelling, and imaginative play, which helps them expand their vocabulary and develop their communication abilities.
• Social and Emotional Development: Our programs foster cooperation, empathy, and self-regulation. Children learn how to interact with others, manage their emotions, and develop a positive self-image.
• Physical Development: We provide ample opportunities for movement, including outdoor play, physical education classes, and imaginative play.
