We would highly recommend Cadence. My son truly enjoyed his time there and we were so impressed with every member of the team that welcomed him with open arms. At the beginning of the summer my son suffered a fall down a flight of 15 stairs at a different daycare. We immediately pulled him out and were stuck figuring out how we would get through the summer as two working parents. I called daycare after daycare and left messages with everyone but most places were on a waitlist and couldn't accommodate him. Cadence called us back quickly and recognized the difficult spot we were in and were able to provide a part-time spot . They provided such a warm, caring and safe environment. It was clear from the moment we toured, that the teachers had a tremendous amount of love for the kids in their care. Had we not committed to another school for the year - we would have been 100% comfortable keeping him at Cadence. At drop-off and pickup it felt like we had been a member of their community for longer than just a few weeks. He always came home excited and looked forward to arriving. He started his new school yesterday and his teachers said he had an amazing day. He listened, was polite and shared with others. He even shared stories about his friends and teachers from Cadence with the new staff. Their team was an essential part of helping him and setting him up for success. We cannot thank them enough for helping our family through a difficult time and providing a safe and warm environment. We highly recommend them. read more

We've been sending our kids here for a few months now, and so far we are pleased with the staff and the resources provided Defoe our kids to learn, as well as communication throughout the day on their activities. Although there have been a few minor hiccups, overall Cadence delivers. read more

Cadence Academy in Cranston, RI is an outstanding school full of kind and caring staff and teachers. My daughter started off her pre-k year with excitement and positive anticipation and made several close friends right away. She was OBSESSED with her two teachers, Miss Alley and Miss Katie. Then something shifted around daylight savings time in late October and although she continued to love her teachers, she started crying at night, saying she didn't want to go to school the next day. She'd cry at drop off, throughout the day and her teachers reported that she was often inconsolable (but that didn't stop them from trying everything to make her feel comfortable!) Our hearts were broken, and we didn't know what to do, but the capable staff at Cadence sprang into action. They offered resources and services to help my daughter. A social worker began observing her in class and meeting with us at home, and we were able to come up with a plan to address her mood through positive reinforcement not only in school but at home too. I didn't even know this type of program, that works with the school AND the family, was available. About six weeks later, my daughter was back to her normal self, and by graduation, she was so very SAD to leave. Luckily, Cadence offers a summer program, so she is able to continue on for a few months before starting kindergarten. The curriculum at Cadence is advanced and admirable. My daughter knows all of her colors, letters and numbers up to 100. She counts, writes her name and several other words and has a love for school that is unmatched. I was surprised to know that throughout the year, the classroom had visitors from a scientist, musician, balloon maker, and a farmer, children learned about recycling, composting and the life of a chick and went on several field trips around Rhode Island. My daughter has made some lifelong friends with not only the other children, but her teachers, other teachers in the school, and the Director and Assistant Director at Cadence. They are all so warm and inviting and will stop at nothing to make your child soar. Thank you, Cadence, we are FOREVER grateful for your care! read more

My son started going to Cadence academy this summer at 8 months old. The staff have been so amazing, especially given the craziness that is Covid right now. They are on top of the Covid measures and I feel very comfortable having him there right now. This is my first preschool experience but it has been great and my baby boy seems so happy. They have also been great with helping with transitions as he gets older. As a ftm, I am a bit lost so it is helpful to have feedback and guidance along the way! read more

My daughter has been at The Children's Workshop in Seekonk for a year and she loves it. The staff is great and the new director Lori is awesome. My daughter loves going there; not only has she learned a lot, but also built some great friendships with other students and staff. The program is excellent and NAEYC accredited. They have before and after school care as well as full day care. I would definitely recommend them. read more

Fantastic company and amazing center. Over 7 years with 3 kids I have seen it grow and improve every year. Teachers are top notch and my kids are loved and supported in a way I couldn't be more grateful for. When you invest in your kids you reap rewards greater than your wildest dreams and they have invested in my kids right along with my husband and I. read more

This "preschool" is nothing but a kids warehouse. Every time I have ever walked in the so called teachers are sitting and texting on their phones whether outside or inside. Your toddler room is a very sad place; a room with very little to play with and again the "babysitters" sitting on the floor on phones. Parents pop in unannounced and you will be shocked and disappointed. read more

I started my son here at 4 months and was less than impressed. I could not find other openings so I was stuck. I wish I would have had some honest feedback before enrolling, so I hope this helps so you don't make the same mistake I did. Complaint #1 The infant room staff was under par, some new workers started and things improved slightly. I had to pry information from them to get a real grasp about his day, some workers would be on their cell phones when I walked in, I always got a unsettling feeling when I walked in the room. It was chaotic most of the time. Too many children. Multiple times my son had scratches/bruises with no explanation from staff. Staff were very "hands off" not holding the infants, just placing them in a swing or standing toy, always sitting on chairs not interacting on the floor with the children. Complaint #2 lack of encouraging learning with age appropriate tasks. Complaint #3 DIRTY and smelly. Almost every days there were messes on the carpet (food, dirt) and no one bothered to clean it up. Saw another child eating something random off the floor, workers didn't even notice. Complaint #4 too many regulations. They will not be able to warm your breast milk or formula up to feed to your child. Try getting a 4 month old to drink cold milk. I didn't realize how bad it was until I found a qualified daycare. If all you are looking for is someone to help your child survive, this is the place for you. If you want a place that actually cares about your child and shows professionalism, stay away! read more
