Cadence Academy Montessori

"As first time parents, we did not know what questions to ask when touring day cares. Ms. Darling and Smaller Scholars was our first tour and she answered all of our questions. We even needed to push our start date back, and the school was very accommodating. Since starting at Smaller Scholars in November 2021, there have been some staffing changes. Although we miss our little one's original teacher, the staff transitioned the new teachers into his classroom and he seems to have adjusted well. We appreciate getting updates throughout the day in the app, and I LOVE seeing the pictures they take of my baby exploring and doing fun activities with friends."

"Smaller Scholars is the best decision we’ve made for our daughter! I had a niece that attended here a few years ago, and knew if I had a kid, mine would go here too! My niece is now 8, and loves learning and still applies the knowledge she learned from Smaller Scholars(she’s so clean and responsible)! My daughter has been attending here for 3 weeks and we have seen a big improvement in her behavior, her confidence, and development! Everyone in the school is really nice and the communication is beyond my expectations. I love that they have an app where I can view pictures of her activities throughout the day. We did have to wait for spots to open, but it was 100% worth the wait. My only regret is not starting my daughter at an earlier age!"

"I recently enrolled my daughter into Smaller Scholars Montessori. Her previous daycare was okay, but never made me feel like they truly looked at her as an individual. Some times she would come home messy, just little things yes, but things that as a mother bothered me. Not only did I feel like her previous daycare was overworked especially during the pandemic, I also felt like I was not getting the quality I had paid for. So I decided to make a change. I called many other Montessori schools but immediately felt so welcomed by Mrs. Darling just through our short phone call. When I came in to visit it was so welcoming and clean. The children were organized and happy and LEARNING! All the teachers and students just seemed to be happy in this peaceful environment. I received tons of info from Mrs. Darling and never felt pressured to enroll more like I was being welcomed into the Montessori family. I immediately enrolled my daughter. From day one she has loved going! She has made friends. Learned new things every day including good manners. She talks so highly of her teacher Mrs Mary! And those are the things that mean the most to me. You can just tell the staff take care of her as if she was their own child. I'm always updated if anything new happens that I need to be aware of. The staff are very transparent. I really couldn't be more grateful to find such a great place for my daughter especially at the height of a pandemic! And the cost is only slightly higher. But no money can overpower the value of feeling like my daughter is in a safe and loving environment. I appreciate Smaller Scholars Montessori and all their staff for everything they have taught my daughter and myself thus far. And look forward to the years to come knowing I have that peace of mind each and every day I drop her off."

"My 3 year old son started school here about 4 or 5 weeks ago. Some days he doesn’t even want to come home, he LOVES going to and being at school! He does 3 half days. Ms Darling is AMAZING. She somehow remembers all the kids names and their parents. Ms Tiffany is really sweet as well and she’s always willing to help. My son loves his teachers and I do as well. They’re always so nice and they often give me updates when I come to pick him up. I can tell they really care about all the children and that means the most to me. Overall our family has had such a positive experience and I’m so happy we decided to enroll our son here!"
