Cadence Education 8800 North Gainey Center Drive, Scottsdale, AZ 85258

"My daughter has attended a cadence school for over 5 years. She loved it and I loved that I had peace of mind, in leaving my child in their care. As a single mom, it’s rough trusting other people with my daughter. A little over a year ago, I started to communicate some issues with the front office. There was a significant lack of communication, from their end. A spot had opened for my daughter, at her own grade school for before and after school care, so i moved her to that, with the intention of utilizing PCA for her school breaks. When she returned during the spring and the summer, the issues were still very prominent. The amount of times, myself, my daughter, and my mom, felt like their cold attitudes, lack of correspondence, and mistakes were intentional was highly discouraging. I feel that the director lacks empathy and effective communication skills. In my conversations with her, i feel that she was very dismissive and defensive. I feel that when a child comes home (unknowing of the many many issues that were discussed with the director) and communicates that she felt like she was being treated unfairly on purpose by her teachers, that is a problem. I pulled her from the school, as she was going back to her grade school at the start of the school year and she will not be returning; however, that last week of her attendance, my account was over charged and I still have not been refunded the entire amount (nearly 9 weeks later). Yet again, a mistake I feel like is intentional, based on our history. I reached out a number of times and have had no response. I left a google review for the specific location and had no response. I truly feel sad that some years ago, I would have recommended this school to everyone I know. Now, having heard the things my daughter told me, and experiencing all that I have, I wouldn't dream of recommending the company to anyone."

"I just got hung up on by Krishna Dry, she’s the regional vp of ops—I guess she didn’t like that I inquired about receiving assistance. The notifications that come out 30 days prior to receiving said increases and so I reached out and didn’t hear from the regional director until after the increase took place. Then when I asked to speak to Krishna it took her a month to reach out to me and when she did, she had nothing to offer any assistance and then hung up on me."

"I did not want to leave a review but I believe it is well deserved! The regional manager was horrible…I reached out to HR about my concerns and they did nothing…the way that man made me feel is a feeling that I would hate for anyone to feel….the only person I felt that was sincere was Stephanie. She was the executive for our region and she was wonderful….."

"( YOU CAN KEEP DELETING AND IM GONNA KEEP ADDING IT BACK!!!) Id never leave my child at this school nor work here. Im a former employee and there were so many things at this school that was unacceptable. Starting with the Assistant Director Lindsey McDowell calling a dark skin child a “shadow”. The director coming in sick from another school , not wearing a mask, which resulted in majority of the employees and children getting sick, then expected the staff to still work. They hire family and let the family get off work early, not do any jobs, mistreat the children including putting hands on them and calling them ugly name especially to the Special Needs kids. I was told I was going to get shot by one of the employees ON THE CLOCK and she let him stay, and tried to get me to talk to the District Manager which is also her friend. Christy Stelle is probably one of the most unprofessional Directors I’ve ever worked with. She’d leave the daycare unattended and in shamble leaving us to pick up the slack on things that were not our responsibility. She also left as well as the director and has a TEACHER acting as a director, im pretty sure thats not supposed to happen. However, ive contacted corporate multiple times and havent heard back from anyone. The whole Institution is a mess. From the unprofessional, favoritism, racism and disrespect."

"Our child has been enrolled at Abby's in Florence since the age of 1. Cadence recently took over and our child is currently in the 4 year old preschool room. We are so happy they were able to retain their staff and current director. Mandy is amazing, quick to respond, organized, and we have been very pleased with the level of care and education our child has received. They all work extremely hard, create a positive environment for our child, keep her safe, and provide so many fun and enriching activities. We have no doubt that she will be ready for Kindergarten next year and we love Ms. Christine (and so many others)."
