Our kids have spend a combined four years at BECC, and we have had nothing but good experiences with the school. We recommend it to everyone we know with preschool aged kids. Pros: Play based learning- the kids learn so much, but they just think they're playing. Happy Veteran Teachers- seriously there are teachers who have been at the school for 30 years! Face-to-face interactions on a daily basis with teachers- every day at pick up and drop off I get to see my kids classroom and teachers. Authentic assessments- the teachers observe and track student progress with pictures and notes, and then collect them all into a portfolio that they then share during conferences. Super clean- no gross preschool smell here Playground community- the playground is a great place to meet up before and after school! Non-Profit Status- provides opportunities for volunteering and involvement School Board of Directors- parents apply to be involved in decision making and support of the school Cons: The school ends at age 5- I would sign my kids up for all of elementary school here if I could! I am writing this review as my kids are both aging out of the school this year and I want spread the word about this school that has provided such a safe, loving, and supportive learning environment for my kiddos!

My daughter, the teachers, and I have noticed a huge difference in his interest in learning. He has given up some negative behaviors he had at the last pre-school.

Awful experience with both the place and the owner. We went in to inquire about enrolling our…read moredaughter and were in the process of signing up, but we never signed anything. In the meantime, she was accepted into another school. Despite not finalizing enrollment or giving consent, we were still charged. The owner had assured us that no charges would be made without our approval, yet he went ahead anyway. He later emailed claiming he would issue a refund by check, but that never happened. He continues to claim we gave consent and that the refund was processed--neither of which is true. We never agreed to anything, never signed paperwork, and never received our money back. This place is only interested in taking your money and will say anything to justify it. Avoid at all costs!

My child shouldn't go to school only to start becoming anxious about going to a tense environment. There's no real education provided because the "Waldorf" method of observational learning is what most children receive at home anyways (observing adults clean, cook, iron clothes etc.). It's nice they spend so much time outside; however, having children eat breakfast early in the morning on frigid winter days is just unnecessarily miserable (to name one example). The director suddenly left for weeks and the woman, Stephanie, who was appointed to replace her didn't seem to have any real qualifications. At drop-off and pick-up I also noticed issues with Helen/Mr. Carl and Stephanie treating the other employees poorly. I wouldn't recommend this school to anyone.

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.

My son is a very kind, affectionate but emotional and sensitive boy. He has never laid his hands on anyone, and acts in kindness towards others even when frustrated. He was expected to be a perfect student at 3 years old. When he got upset or overstimulated, he would cry and take quite a while to calm down. Because of this he was KICKED OUT of school and was completely heartbroken. He LOVED his teacher Mrs. Susie, and all of his friends, and didn't understand why he wasn't allowed anymore. So unless you have a perfect child I don't recommend this school.

I cannot stress enough how truly dedicated and experienced our teachers are at Child's Play. My child requires some additional support. Between offering additional resources for her in the classroom to attending IEP meetings on their own time, the teachers at Child's Play have played a vital role in our daughter's growth and development. A maximum of 5:1 child:adult ratio has allowed her teachers to take the extra time with her when she's needed it. We are very grateful for this very understanding, knowledgeable and autism-friendly community.
