The Admissions Director runs the school incredibly well and has set the tone for creating a culture of inclusivity, compassion, generosity, and excellence. The bilingual education is outstanding, and our five-year-old has progressed in Spanish due to his wonderful teachers and thoughtful curriculum. The sense of community is amazing, and we've made lasting friendships with other families at the school. SELA offers diverse and engaging extracurricular activities for students, special events, and parent meet-ups. Sending our son to SELA was one of the best parenting decisions we've made, and he's fortunate to have the opportunity to grow and thrive in such a welcoming environment.

There were some odd rules that we never knew when we originally enrolled e.g. The daycare is opened from 7am to 6pm but you are not supposed to exceed 9 hours of child care.

The teachers genuinely care for the kids.

We have felt as though the teachers and staff have been an extension of our family. My children have all loved their time with The Goddard. They are greeted with hugs and smiles each day, and talk about missing their teachers and friends when not at school. The curriculum fosters learning with an interactive, age appropriate approach that makes learning exciting each and every day. We have been blessed to be part of the Goddard Family, and without reservation recommend them to care for and teach anyone's child. There is no better peace of mind than knowing your children are loved and treated so well when in someone else's care.

My daughter's experience at Inly School has been nothing short of life-changing ... not just for…read moreher, but for so many of her peers as well. It has been such a joy to watch her and her friends grow into poised, confident, thoughtful young people. One of the things that makes Inly so special is its emphasis on theater. And to be clear, theater is not just for "theater kids." It's for anyone who wants to succeed in life. Have you ever had to give a presentation at work? A theater background would help. Have you ever had to advocate for yourself to a boss or manager? Theater experience would help there too. Especially in today's fast-moving, AI-driven world, the people who stand out are those who are poised, strong communicators, and able to advocate for themselves. That is one of the greatest gifts Inly has given my daughter. We chose Inly seven years ago because every person we met who knew an Inly student had nothing but wonderful things to say about them. Now, I feel so proud and grateful to say that my daughter and her friends are part of that same group. I also want to briefly acknowledge some of the less positive reviews. I genuinely feel for families whose experiences may not have been what they hoped for. No school is the perfect fit for every child, and some of those criticisms may be valid. I can only speak from our experience, which has been overwhelmingly positive, and the growth in my daughter is evident every single day. There is also a new Head of School as of September 2025, and that leadership change has already brought meaningful improvements. There has been a clear effort to create more consistency in the quality of education across classrooms. Inly's student-led learning model has long been one of its greatest strengths, though at times that approach may have led to some inconsistency between levels, classes, and students. It is clear the school is actively working on that. What has not changed ... and has certainly not diminished ... is the magic of Inly and the remarkable education its students receive. If you have any doubts about whether Inly might be right for your family, talk to an Inly kid. They just might convince you.

During conversations with admissions staff, there was little room for meaningful dialogue or…read morequestions. Meetings often felt one-sided, with extensive talking at families rather than listening to them or engaging collaboratively. This imbalance in communication made the process feel more performative than genuinely collaborative, and made it difficult to view the process as student-centered when so little space was made for authentic family input.

Your search is over- you have found the perfect daycare & nursery school for your child…read more My son first started in the infant room, and it has been the best experience that I could imagine. The entire staff is the equivalent to real life Disney fairy godmothers. They are magical. So professional, incredibly caring and warm from the start. From the moment I inquired online with Cadence Academy, in less than 24 hours our relationship began. Kaitlyn, the director, personally called me, and after 45 minutes on the phone, feeling like we were long lost friends reconnecting, the weight of finding the perfect place for my son was lifted. (Her daughter attends, so that right there was reassurance that Cadence Academy is the top choice for even a professional) I was called back to work in the middle of the summer of 2020, the PANDEMIC. Kaitlyn and her incredible staff made me feel so comfortable while I couldn't physically tour any of the classrooms, or walk inside the building, their descriptions, virtual tours, and phone calls reassured me completely. The Covid protocols were strict and thorough- with daily temperature checks for each student, mandatory masks, and extra sanitizing steps- it is extremely clean that I never felt overly nervous. Within the first week my son attended for three days, he came home waving, clapping and saying "bye-bye" at 11 months old. The next week he was saying "ut oh" and signing for milk (I had practiced signing at home and let them know my goals- and within two weeks of being at the academy -he was signing back!) Now at almost a year and a half he has an extensive vocabulary and signing skills to communicate! All thanks to the incredible teachers and socialization with other babies. The first few weeks I was a naturally worried mom- between the live updated app they use showing each meal, how much he ate and how much milk he drank, how long he napped, to every dirty to clean diaper- to photos of their daily activities- it reassured me he was in the perfect hands. I would call to check in, and every time I did I never ever felt rushed off the phone- Miss Taryn (who my son calls mama and immediately reaches for when we arrive each morning) would take the time and tell me how James' day was going and what he was learning. Even though I would hear a busy room in the background, she never rushed me off the phone and let me ask all of the questions. I felt at ease. She truly is doing what she is meant to do- be with babies and teach! My son had an immediate and special bond with Miss Taryn- that naps were no problem napping away from home (which is any mom's biggest fear who has gone through sleep training and has a perfect sleeper- sleep and daycare! They are amazing at getting your baby to nap) Meghan, the assistant director, is the most warm and calming soul I have ever came across. She is the perfect face of the academy, taking care of the daily protocols and payments. Anything you need or any question you may have- she is literally two rings away, or your emailed is answered within minutes. Hannah, is the coolest and the most down to earth, who again makes you feel so comfortable leaving your child when/if he cries come Monday when you first leave. And mind you- she is the funniest- best personality. Look no further, this is the spot not only for you to feel at ease that your child is in the best care, but also the best place for your child to grow (and eat very well!)
