Cadence Academy Preschool

Cadence on Grand Ave in WDM is 6/5 stars. Here’s a quick story about why you should send your kid here: We were driving around last night and my 3 year old son started talking to us about boulders. Totally random but definitely in context to what we were talking about at the time. I asked him how he knew what a boulder was, and he told me learned about them at school (Cadence on Grand) because they were in the sensory bin. I was just totally blown away that he could communicate this with us and knew what a boulder was. These kinds of things happen all the time and he always tells us he learned about whatever it was at school. We LOVE what the staff here is doing, and would recommend them to ANYONE in the Des Moines area. To Erica and Madison and all the Cadence staff- keep up the great work!

The people at Cadence Academy make it a truly loving and special place. They go above and beyond to make our daughter feel loved - especially on those tough mornings when kiddo emotions are running high. Erica and her team are simply wonderful people and incredible caretakers of our sweet girl. Thank you to all of them for the care they've shown our kiddos over the years!

My husband and I absolutely love Cadence Academy on Grand! We have had nothing but great experiences. Erica and Madison are amazing! We have known Erica for almost 3 years, since our daughter started going there. She is honest, trustworthy and kind hearted. The teachers have taught our child so much, it’s incredible. Choosing childcare is the most important thing you can do for your kids, we did not go wrong in this decision!

Cadence Academy is a blessing!! My daughter loves all the staff and Erica the director has become more like a part of the family. She is so easy to talk to and will help you with any questions you may have about anything!! I would recommend Cadence to anyone they are absolutely the best daycare/ preschool /before and after school care I have ever had the pleasure of working with also you get all of this for a beyond reasonable price! Thank you Erica and your staff for being great teachers for my daughter! I also posted this on their Facebook page you can go look them up for more reviews as well!!

We love Apple Tree on Grand! Our daughter has been here almost two years. We really enjoyed her first room and the teachers there were awesome (Ms. Cori, Ms. Deborah, Ms. Amber and Ms. Bree). We also had a very easy transition to her next room where she currently is and she loves it. The teachers there are awesome as well (Ms. Helen, Ms. Jen, Ms. Chelsea and Ms. Lisa). We also can't forgot about the cook who makes wonderful meals for everyone! Our daughter has learned so much and continues to grow everyday and we have Apple Tree to thank for that! Thanks so much to all the teachers, cook and directors who help our little one grow!
