Cadence Academy Preschool, East Peoria is a preschool learning center and childcare facility. The program uses a specialized curriculum to prepare children for kindergarten. It uses a Positive Behavior Strategy (PBS) method to recognize positive behavior and minimize challenging behaviors. The program follows a model originally developed by the Center on the Social and Emotional Foundations for Early Learning (CSEFEL) that uses a pyramid structure to address social and emotional needs. The program focuses on creating a supportive atmosphere and teaching social and emotional development.
The mission of Cadence Academy Preschool is to provide a safe, happy learning environment for each child that will stimulate their development at their own, personal pace and to support families in making the most out of childhood. Cadence Education has more than 30 years in business.
The leadership team includes School Director Jennifer Farney, Assistant Director Tara Dorrance, and Teacher of the Year Sarah Olsen. In 2023, Sarah Olsen completed her Preschool CDA for ages 3–5, and in 2024 she completed her Infants CDA for ages 6 weeks to 2. In 2024, 100% of the Pre-K children assessed in the school demonstrated Readiness or Advanced Readiness for Kindergarten.
The program uses front door code security and ID checks for individuals entering and picking up children. All other individuals must ring the daycare facility’s doorbell before entering, and the school checks IDs and requests that families notify the school if someone different will pick up the child. The program also offers before and after school care for school-age children. School Director Jennifer Farney is very active in events in her community and keeps her children involved as well.
