I was really hoping to enroll my toddler here but truthfully If I could give this a no star I would. I went for a tour of the school and as we opened the door to the stairwell to begin the tour there was a 12-14 month old little baby in a stairwell with no supervision!! No idea how that baby got there- more frightening is that the teachers did not even notice the child was gone….. we will not be choosing/entrusting cadence with the care of our child.

Our experience with Cadence Academy has been amazing. The staff are always positive and clearly care about my daughter. Miss. Laura and Miss. Spring are kind and caring and I always feel that I have great communication with them. The pictures we receive of our daughter during the day give me such peace of mind and show how much progress she has made since she started. I would absolutely recommend Cadence Academy to any family.

The staff at Cadence have been so great. My children love their teachers and they always look forward to going. One of my children has a severe food allergy and they have been really diligent with keeping him safe. Their app provides us with updates which gives us a peace of mind. The Director is very involved as well, you can tell she really cares about the children.

My youngest child has been enrolled in the Smithfield Cadence Academy for 2 1/2 years. He has attended the toddler and preschool program and will be joining their Kindergarten class next year. He has two older siblings, so I am well used to the stress of finding the right educational partner with a highly developed structured curriculum.Smithfield Cadence has a comprehensive learning enrichment program with the best early childhood development team I have seen. Throughout the years, Tina, Michelle, Kayla, Julia, Ruth, and Tanya have been instrumental positive role models to our sons growth and development. From the in classroom teachers to the administrative staff and the regional director, Tracy, you will find superior communication and the true heart felt dedication this team brings everyday for the children that pass through the doors.As I said earlier, I have two older children that were in a series of different providers. The holding the leg routine, negotiation, and latching onto parents was a common sight every morning at drop off. I found myself many days in the same predicament. It was as if every child in these systems caught a poor attitude towards school. I would spend the entire car ride front loading positive reinforcement in the hopes drop offs would go well and no other kids would be there to start a chain reaction. This was always a stressful and exhaustive way to start the day. What a world of difference at Cadence. Jack wakes up in the morning MOTIVATED for school. After breakfast, he dresses himself and brushes his own teeth ready to go. The car ride is a rock party - he’s on air guitar I’m on the drums. Drop off - the teacher comes and greets him every morning face to face to welcome him to the classroom. I get a hug and a bye Dad. Zero stress / no bargaining / No worrying all day that I hope the day got better at school. It has been this way for years now. I used to believe with the older two kids that the struggle was just the way it is. I’m writing this review to all parents to let you know the Cadence way is the way it should be. I’ve never written a google review before, but felt compelled after years of seeing the positive impact the Cadence team has had on Jack, that I should share our family’s experience.Our children are the most precious asset we have in life. Entrusting them to a solid team during these crucial learning years is vital. Tina. Michelle, Kayla, Julia. Tanya, Ruth and Tracy - You are all amazing leaders and Jack has been blessed to have so many confident women role models in his life from such an early age. These years with you will most certainly pay enormous dividends to him in the future. I am grateful and overwhelmingly thankful for all you do. The unwavering commitment you show to Jack and all the children in the Cadence family is a true blessing to the Smithfield community.

Cadence Academy Preschool is absolutely wonderful. Miss Kayla and all teachers are so loving and wonderful with the kids. The day is filled with activities, learning and lots of fun. They offers field trips and supplies all snacks and meals. My 3 years old wakes up every morning and the first thing he asks is “IS IT A SCHOOL DAY?!”. I cannot recommend Cadence Academy enough. If I could give more than 5 stars I would!

My grandson attends Cadence Academy, and we are very pleased with all aspects of the daycare. As a teacher myself, I was happy to learn that it is an educational based facility that exposes children to different aspects of learning through sensory and play. My grandson’s classroom is amazing, with clean and vibrant toys. His teachers are experienced, knowledgeable, and energetic! The school has a positive energy that you feel as soon as you step in. We are very happy to see our grandson getting such a great educational experience at Cadence!

I am really glad we had our little one transition to Cadence for many reasons! They are essentially a well-rounded childcare provider. Cadence is able to meet our needs and hopes for our child and family with their academic structure and style, warm and welcoming culture and the all inclusive meals and snacks was a huge plus for us, and so much more. We have plans for our little one to graduate to their awesome private Rhode Island education accredited kindergarten program that they offer as well for kids whose birthdays fall shortly after the public school cut off age.

This is a great daycare. My infant son attended for 3 months (9-12months) before he transferred to the location closer to our home. He loved his teachers Ms. Laura, Ms Harley and and Ms. Jen. Not only did he always have fun playing there, he did arts and crafts, was read to, sung to and in general loved. He grew here and had fun and most importantly we knew he was in good hands here. We love the app they give you to follow your child day, see pics of him, know what they are doing activity wise, when changed, ate etc. I highly recommend Cadence Smithfield daycare infants classroom.

Our experience with Cadence has been nothing short of exceptional in every way. The Director and staff continually pour themselves out to support each student and understand that not all children are the same. An approach that might work for one student may not work for another, and they invest themselves wholly into figuring out what approach is most successful for your child. As a parent of a high-energy 4yo who has struggled to keep his cool when frustrated/upset, I would carry incredible anxiety to work each day worrying about his behavior at school. But the staff at Cadence has supported our family from day one. They recognize that you can't boil the ocean in one day and were willing to put in the time and communicate with us openly to find solutions that suit his needs. They love him, build his self-esteem, and have taught him so much about self-regulation of feelings/body when he's struggling. As a parent, I couldn't ask for anything more.

Cadence had been a great pre-school for my son. The staff are all great and truly love what they do. I love the the app where they update with daily activities and pictures through out the day. My son is so excited to go to school every day! I highly recommend Cadence Academy.

My daughter has been going here for the past two and a half years and has loved every second of it. It has helped her learn, grow and develop so much. My son has been going there for the last 6 months and we are starting to see the same developmental steps being achieved recently. The teaching staff works very hard to help the kids learn in new and different ways and are generally very good at communicating any issues or positives that they see day to day.

My 3.5 year old son had never been in "school" or daycare before, but he hit a learning stage where we knew he would benefit from being in school. He was not 100% potty trained, which limited our options, and I really wanted him somewhere that would follow a stricter curriculum than just your average daycare. We looked at several schools in the area and quickly settled on Cadence Academy. In this time of pandemic, it was a little scary for me to let my baby go to school for the first time, especially since I couldn't even go into his classroom, but the administrators and teachers have been amazing in making me feel like I can ask them of anything. Everyone is very communicative with me, even in times when their internet is down.My son is BEYOND excited when we get to school and he sees Ms. Ruth & Ms. Tanya, and he usually has a fit when I come and pick him up because he doesn't want to leave his friends. We started out at 3 days a week (for my comfort as well as his) and quickly needed to go to 5 days when he spent one off day telling me no less than 10 times that he wanted me to take him to his school.His teachers are absolutely LOVELY and send regular reports throughout the day, what toys he plays with during center time, what their intended lesson plan is that day, what food he eats (or doesn't eat), if he takes a nap, etc. AND they got him to be more regularly potty-trained! He still has accidents, but they are way fewer than they were before!
