Cadence Academy Preschool

"One of the scariest things I've experienced as a parent is dropping off one of my kids for the first time to a new place where he will spend many hours, eating meals when he has food allergies. The Cadence Academy in Ankeny has been the best place where I can go to work and not be worried whether he's in good hands. The teachers are amazing. They are interactive with the kids, center activities that are perfect for the age groups, work with parents for any special needs a child may have (like his list of food allergies), and are truly happy to see the kids and be around them. They work on practicing practical skills appropriate for each age group and working along side parents where my little one has been learning so much. The best part is that he is happy when he's dropped off during the day, happy when he's picked up, and I feel relaxed throughout my work day where I don't have to worry so much as I know he is in the best hands possible."

"I definitely will recommend Cadence! It's more than just a school it's more like a family. Each staff member is very caring and loves each child that walks in. Kristi and Amie are always there for their staff members and will stand by you no matter what. I'm so glad to be working at Cadence! The families are amazing as well!"

"Cadence Academy in Ankeny has been such a blessing to find for our family! When we were first looking for preschools, they made us feel very supported and welcome right from the start. Kristi and Amie worked with our family’s strange schedule so that we could get the childcare we needed. They continue to be supportive of our family’s needs, and are truly focused on what is most important - the child’s success. All of the staff at Cadence are truly dedicated to early childhood education and helping the children in their care thrive. As my family has no other family in the area, it was paramount to find childcare we trust in, and we’re lucky to have found it. I highly recommend Cadence as a school to put your trust in with your children, as we will continue to do!"

"Cadence Academy has been the best thing for not only our son, but our family! The teachers and staff are so kind and genuinely care about the little ones. The center is also so clean and tidy! We have so much peace of mind leaving our son at Cadence each day and he’s learning so much! Our son warmed up to the teachers and staff so quickly and he loves his days at the center with all his little friends. We will always recommend to future and current parents looking!"

"I have worked at Cadence Academy Preschool for six months. From the beginning I have felt welcome from staff and children. I worked at another child care center before and the staff were not always friendly. The director has been very welcoming and supportive. She encourages her staff to be the best that they can be. All staff are caring and have the best interest of the kids at heart. The leads create creative and engaging lesson plans that the kids really enjoy."
