I would like for you to help me wish Kim well as she begins her new endeavors. I want you know in my new position I am dedicated to creating a healthy and safe environment that cultivates learning for the children here at our center. You may see some changes that will occur in the near future and I am asking you to be patient with the staff and I as these changes occur. Please mark your calendars for May 9, 08 am to pm. and join us for a family fun filled day as we celebrate the rebranding our school to Cadence Academy Preschool. We will have food, games, a bounce house and so much more. If you have any questions or concerns please let me know. I look forward to working with you and watching your child(ren) learn and grow.
