We can't convey our gratitude enough to the infant class teachers at Cadence (big shoutout to Amanda, Julie, Kanie, Katie, and many others), as well as the directors! They are exceptionally caring and professional, showing love to every child. I would highly recommend Cadence to any new parent in the area!

Horrible place. Don't take your kids of color here. My sister worked here so naturally her son received child care here. My nephew was constantly left in a full diaper for hours and this one time my sister confronted the lady that was in charge of her son and she did it in a respectful way (also while off the clock) and later that evening the lady walked off her shift. This resulted in my sister being put on unpaid leave until their “investigation” was done. She was ultimately let go for looking out for her son and other children of color well being this is a racist company and I'll be in contact with a lawyer very soon.
So hopefully we can find a resolution for this wrongful termination or we’ll see you guys in court.
*i’ve never work here. they can’t read and the will neglect your children. pick a better child care center

I would not recommend sending your children to cadence academy. They did not provide our child with the care they deserved for the price we paid. Rachel our child’s teacher was caught being rough with our child and other children. Rachel is also rude to her coworkers and has been heard telling them to “shut up” in the classrooms. When turned into the director they did not discipline her for those actions. The directors have also said several slander things about autistic kids and employees who have autism. Please look out for the best interest of your children and request to see the cameras!

Both of our children attended Cadence as newborns through Preschool. The staff creates a warm and welcoming environment for all the children and families, and each teacher does a great job creating a thoughtful and engaging curriculum each week. Our children absolutely loved their time at Cadence, and we could not be happier with our overall experience there!

Our daughter has been attending Cadence Academy for 2 months and we have been very happy with our experience so far. Choosing a childcare facility for your child (especially as a first time parent) is such a big decision and that first drop off can be so tough. Seeing my daughter smile at her teachers (shout out to Miss Julie for being an amazing teacher) at drop off that first week made it a little easier. The staff is responsive and professional - always adapting to our requests and working with us parents for schedule changes. We love the diversity in families attending and the variety of experiences through lesson plans our daughter receives weekly.

My child was in the infant/toddler rooms and the staff there was amazing. Julie, Amanda, and Katie have a ton of experience and treat your child as if they were their own. I would highly recommend this daycare if you have to start your child while they are an infant.

The director took my $50 to hold my place in line (June 2022), and then never contacted me again. Today they sent me an email informing me that I have been un-enrolled so it seems as though I am no longer on the list. Thankfully I found excellent daycare elsewhere.EDIT - I received a response from the director this morning, and it seems they required everyone to manually opt-in to the list on a regular basis by responding to an email that they sent you - if you did not respond, you were removed from the list automatically. This isn't a situation where you reached the front of the line and had to respond if you wanted a spot or not, literally everyone on the list was required to respond to the email in order to remain.I have checked email records and I received no email from Cadence or the director, therefore I could not respond and I was removed from the list. Not a very professional way to handle a list that your customers paid to be on.

Iowa City has an overwhelming and diverse range of childcare options to select from. Cadence was recommended to us by coworkers as we prepared for our first child. Communication has been at the center of our experience. Administrative staff are only an email or telephone call away and the daily activity tracker KidReports provides real-time updates on our daughter’s activities as well as pictures. The teachers work diligently to implement the weekly themed curriculum as well as provide constant feedback on her development. The entire Cadence Team works to maintain a welcoming and supportive environment for its families. We are always greeted at Pick-Up and Drop-Off by the Administrative Team and truly enjoy our relationships with each teacher. We also appreciate their responsiveness to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and exposure procedures.

We have been very pleased with our experience at Cadence. The staff are caring, communicative, and knowledgeable. Our daughter is learning developmentally appropriate skills through engaging, creative activities while staying active and having fun. She loves going to play with her friends in a safe and nurturing environment.

We love Cadence. Our kids have had great experiences and great teachers in each classroom. The last 2 years haven't been easy on childcare centers, and Cadence hasn't been immune, but they put our kids first every step.

Our boy has been attending Cadence Iowa City for almost 5 years since he was just ten weeks old, and the experience has been great! If you find yourself that kind of mom that sometimes worries too much and wants to know what/how your child is doing at daycare, you will want to go to Cadence! They are on KidReports, and will send you activity notifications (e.g. diapers, meals, naps, etc.) and pictures during the day, especially for parents of young children. In addition to that, you can always have very insightful conversations with your kid’s room teacher at pick up time. The Director, the Assistant Director, and the teachers are all very hands-on and responsive, and that’s one of the reasons that I like about them. I think we will really miss coming to Cadence when my son moves on to Kindergarten this fall!
