Cadence Academy Preschool

"We have been very satisfied with the care Cadence has provided our little girl for the last eight months and we’ve been happy to see consistent improvements with new management over the past few months. Ms. Trinity and her colleagues have very kindly and professionally endeared themselves to our baby and our family."

"Our children attended for less than two weeks before we made the decision to leave. This decision was made in the best interest of our children due to a series of concerning events. 1. During week 1, the teachers of the school held a picket line on the sidewalk adjacent to Martin avenue demanding more money. 2. During week 2, the school had a cap for students because of the lack of teacher availability. a. This led to combined classrooms and less than desirable conditions. It was apparent that whatever “curriculum” the school promoted would be impossible to execute under these conditions. b. Our children also complained that they had to ask for toilet paper because the teachers didn’t keep it in the bathroom. 3. On multiple days we witnessed providers talking about the poor working conditions and “leadership” at the school. The school did make a change at the director level but the climate issues surrounding this location run much deeper than making one minor change. As a business, it seems too far gone to correct and in the two weeks we attended, the school seemed destined to fail. It requires a complete overhaul and rebranding. 4. As a parent, I would not feel comfortable sending my children there nor would I ever recommend it as an option."

"My daughter attended here for a little less than two weeks. Out of those two weeks she only attended for one full 10 hour day. Every other day I was getting called after anywhere from 2-6 hours to pick her up. I would not recommend this daycare whatsoever. Completely overpriced & a very inconsistent staff. Everyday I dropped off my kid it was all new faces except for the front desk lady. Also my daughter would cry as soon as I pulled into the parking lot to drop her off after her first two days. That’s unusual behavior for her, so id say be very mindful with your children here. I could list multiple issues I saw with this facility in just a week and a half but I’ll keep my review short."

"For the amount they charge, they should have a nicer facility and better paid teachers. I've heard numerous times about air conditioners being broken or other issues in the classrooms. My son's classroom was constantly being merged with another room during the middle of the day. All the staff look stressed and overwhelmed. They also did a mid year rate increase to $395/week for toddlers. Most centers don't do as mid year increase, and other centers at this price point are much nicer. The teachers were wonderful, but everything else wasn't. I can see why they always have openings for kids and are understaffed."

"My child has been attending since about January/February of this and at first we had no issues. Smiling faces in the morning, warm greetings but the facade quickly faded. My daughter has repeatedly come home with bruises and scratches from a very specific individual. The director, Shelby, consistently tells me she’ll “check the cameras” and get back to me. None of that ever happened and the same child that terrorizes my little girl still attends the school. He’s put his hands on her, stolen her items from her, and just overall made her not want to go into her classroom. I’m consistently told “we’ll look into it” but it’s never been looked into. There’s been more than one incident I’ve learned from second hand about incidents where I never signed an incident report. On top of that, they pay their teachers a whopping .26 cents more than minimum wage AFTER raising tuition a couple hundred dollars and for what? There’s been no increase in the quality of meals, the classrooms look the same, and now you can’t even staff a facility because of it all. “Competitive benefits” don’t mean a whole lot if your whole staff can’t afford to make ends meet. If it weren’t for the welcoming staff and the teachers and their assistants, I probably would’ve pulled my daughter long ago."
