We love Cadence Academy, Clive. The small environment provides a family like feel. The education is top notch & the teachers are excellent especially with potty training. Our 2 & 1 year year old attend there (since they were 6 months) and we cannot wait to how they continue grow over the years there!

Our family couldn't be more pleased with the care and attention Cadence Academy staff provide our son. The teachers and directors truly partner with us, as parents, and go above and beyond with communicating important updates. So grateful for this community!

We are so happy we selected and trusted Cadence for our daughter! The amount of growth we have seen has us confident that she will be academically, socially and emotionally prepared for kindergarten.They have an incredible staff from the support staff to the teachers and their chef has my daughter trying and liking new foods every day!If you are looking for a school with a strong curriculum, great staff and a place that your kid/s will love… Cadence is for you!

I am currently a teacher at Cadence Academy Clive. I have two Little’s that attend school here. I’ve notice a great amount of skills that both of my children have gained. My son Has grown into being very independent! My daughter gets insane amounts of love! Management not only is understanding with your Little’s when they are sick but also helping keep a flexible schedule for yourself! I recommend this school to anyone!

My daughter has attended Cadence Academy for almost 2 years. My family and I, as well as my daughter love this school! Staff is friendly and helpful. The director (Crystal) and assistant director (Darcy) are always willing to help with any questions or concerns I have. The school is structured but in a great way that children need for a nurturing but educational environment. This pre-school is not a babysitting service but a warm & loving center where my daughter has grown not just emotionally & socially but has thrived academically and is ready for Kindergarten. I am sad that this is her last year but confident knowing that Cadence and her teacher Ms. Monica have prepared her for Kindergarten ? I am beyond thankful for Cadence. I ? would recommend Cadence to anyone looking for childcare.

My child was at this location from when she was three months old until just after her fourth birthday. We removed her unexpectedly after incidents involving staff members and a very concerning conversation with the location's director.

Our son has gone here since he was 4 months old, and we absolutely love it. The teachers are great with the kids, keeping them entertained with lessons and activities. They keep the parents updated on the daily activities as well. Darci and Crystal are amazing, very friendly and always helpful. We are sadly moving away and praying we find a daycare as great as this place.

Our son started Cadence (Then Apple Tree) at age 2 and quickly fell in love. He even reaches for his teachers (he doesn't like most people). I love the updates throughout his time there and the fun pictures of his activities. They are always sending home art and projects and there is constantly a fun activity on the calendar. They really do care about the children there.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Heartland Cadence Academy! Our three children are lucky to attend a daycare that goes above and beyond when it comes to providing a safe, fun learning environment. The staff are very caring and attentive to their needs which makes leaving your kids in their care easy. Not only is there and emphasize on education but also on teaching kids to be kind and caring. I highly recommend Cadence Academy!

We have only been at Cadence academy for a few months, but it already feels like home. The entire staff is warm and welcoming, and you can tell the teachers really care about your child's personal experience and progression through the curriculum. Our 3 year old had a few rough weeks at drop-off when transitioning from her old daycare, and the staff and teachers really made an extra effort to make her feel at home and to give us assurance around how she was doing throughout the day. So far so good!

There is nothing more difficult then sending your newborn baby to daycare, but Cadence Academy makes it easier. My eyes fill with tears as I write this thinking of all the memories my daughter has at the Cadence Academy on Hickman in Clive. Every single teacher my daughter has had in the newborn and infant room has treated her with kindness, patience, and a smile. My daughter beams with joy everyday when we pick her up. Darci and Crystal are directors who truly care about every single child who attends. They also care about their teachers and treat them with respect. At this Cadence Academy, they have planned out lessons and activities. There are sensory lessons and themed days throughout the week. They also align story time with activities that help students learn more about the book. My 14 month old already knows some of her colors and several letter sounds. They treat small children as individuals who are ready to learn and grow. This is the most critical time for children to learn and the teachers at Cadence recognize that and use everyday as an opportunity for children to learn with play. Teachers update you on your child's schedule throughout the day using an app and they also communicate well with you when you pick up your child. They truly care about my child and communicate with me about everything that happened during the day. I can't express how grateful I am and how much the Cadence on Hickman has meant to our family in the last year. I am a teacher myself and I can truly say this is the best childcare for your child. If you have any questions about Cadence feel free to message me.

We have only been at Apple Tree for a short time but really like the center. We know our kids are safe and healthy while there are there. They do a lot of art projects which my kids love! Also, the assistant director is fabulous!

We love Apple Tree! We were on the wait list for several months, and when we transitioned our two year old son, we quickly saw a positive change in his speech and demeanor. He loves going to school everyday now! The teachers and staff are caring and friendly. It was definitely worth the wait!

Roughly 5 years ago, I started looking for Childcare providers. After visiting several other Center's I stumbled across Apple Tree. During the initial tour, I knew this was the place for my child, everyone there was so accepting and welcoming, staff members took time during that visit to answer all my questions and just let me observe the rooms (unlike some other Centers I visited). Knowing that my children would have to be in a Center for 40 plus hours, while my husband and I worked scared me and I wanted the best Center, and I believe that Apple Tree Children's Center in Clive is the best. The staff are exceptional, nurturing, educated, responsive and the list goes on. Each day I look forward to picking up my children and hearing about their day from them and their Teachers. The staff does and excellent job, providing a detailed overview of my children's day.

I have had the benefit working at Clive Apple Tree for many years. the best part was having my children at the same location. They all loved going to Apple Tree. I always loved the care and love all the teachers gave to my children. They learned so much through the hands on learning and the awesome curriculum. All my children still talk about their many adventures they had at Apple Tree.
