He loves coming to this school and has blossomed with the care and education he has received. One thing to take into consideration when viewing and coming to this location is this, don't view it as daycare. Instead, consider it to be an institution for learning.

I view the tuition as an investment into my child's education/future and It has been worth every penny.

These two individuals are not fit to be in positions of directing a place for young children and families. Cadence Academy corporate were kind & helpful following a challenging situation. We chose Cadence, after months of researching & touring for our 3 month old son when I returned to work after maternity leave. On the first day of daycare at Cadence Academy we had the ability to see the classroom through video access and as an anxious, first time, parents, we watched as often as we were allowed to. Our son spent a significant amount of time in a bouncer. It appeared that he was given attention infrequently by the singular teacher in the classroom of several babies. We received a phone call asking if it was okay for our baby to sleep in the bouncer if he was comfortable. This was not something that we wanted, but as it was our first day at daycare, we were a little nervous about anything going wrong and felt that perhaps this was a helpful recommendation from a teacher in the classroom. Watching the video even longer our son appeared to spend about five hours in the bouncer and did not receive that much of an attempt at having a milk bottle across that time, which was disheartening. We were told that he refused the bottle from his teacher. When I asked Desiree why another teacher didn't attempt to feed our son the bottle she said, "we want him to get used to his teacher feeding him", as though feeding our 3 month old wasn't the priority. After a frustrating first day, we decided that it would be our son's last day as we felt that the teacher was not doing an adequate job of caring for our son, nor was the teacher following the guidelines of the handbook that we were made to read and sign. We spoke with the assistant director, Desiree, and let her know that we were withdrawing our son as we did not want to risk any potential harm or future bad days. Our son has been at a different daycare in town, which has been an absolute blessing. The kindness & attentiveness provided by the teachers at the new daycare and the administrative staff have been wonderful showing us that Cadence really had let us down with just one day at their facility. We thought that our time with Cadence was in the past. That was until we received a notice that we were sent to collections in June, an entire 8 months after we unenrolled our son. We called to speak with the Cadence administrative staff to inquire why we were in collections when we hadn't heard from them since we left in October. We were informed that we owed for the week that he was enrolled & we were also charged a $25 fee for not fulfilling the payment in the first place. The frustrating thing about this is that we were unaware of any outstanding bill. At NO point in time did Cadence Academy reach out to us to let us know that we had an outstanding bill as they had previously had all of our banking information to accept deposits and previous payments. They had our email, phone numbers, & mailing address but no notices or bills came. It took 2 weeks to finally get in touch with someone that could answer our questions (thank you Theresa). Kristina (director) & Desiree (assistant director) were beyond unhelpful. When we asked Desiree who they answered to, we were told "corporate" but weren't given any helpful leads as to who to speak with. Instead we were given the generalized Cadence Academy phone number- which is just a VM & after many calls & messages, not one was returned. It wasn't until we used the websites chatbot to access a live agent who was helpful enough to get us in contact with the regional director. The regional director was able to resolve our concern & pay us back the money (as it was agreed that none of this should have happened given the circumstances). The admin team at Cadence Academy OV should be under review for their inability to do their job effectively.

The employees that are currently employed there do not meet the physical, emotional, ethical, or intellectual standards for developing children to model. There is no curriculum and the bare minimum of effort is done to provide a productive environment. There is no structure to the day despite what you may be told. The children are left to their own devices to play with dirty donated toys in a Lord of the Flies-like setting. The Director and another member of staff have been at this facility for 20 years, which is longer than most marriages, and have a deeply unethical and unprofessional relationship. They will cover up and obscure wrongdoing at your child's expense. They speak poorly of the children and their parents when being in no condition to look down on anyone. This institution is not a childcare development center; rather, it is a petty fiefdom that is lorded over by individuals who are lazy in the realm of physical fitness, emotional development, and general ethics. If you care at all about the well-being of your child and their capacity to develop into a productive adult that contributes positively to humanity, do not send your child here. As a strong believer in evidence and empiricism when visiting the institution, I encourage you to observe the individuals and environment for yourself to verify that what is being claimed here is true. For your child's sake heed this warning. There are other institutions with ethical, knowledgeable, and motivated staff that will enrich your child and put them on the path towards success.
