About Cadence Academy Grand

Cadence Academy Preschool, Grand in West Des Moines provides a family-focused learning environment for children ages six weeks through five-years-old. Our preschool center is accredited by the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC) as being a high-quality early education program that utilizes recognized industry best practices.

Our early childhood learning center employs our custom Ascend Curriculum as a framework for engaging, weekly lesson plans that we tailor to be developmentally appropriate for each child.

As a NAEYC-accredited child care center, we strive to provide loving, safe, and consistent care to our kids. In each classroom, there is a Lead Teacher who has a collegiate certification or degree in Child Development, Early Childhood Education, or Elementary Education. The Lead Teacher creates weekly lesson plans full of educational activities that support cognitive, physical, socio-emotional, and language development.

In addition, there are skilled teachers in each classroom who work one-on-one with children. Parents have peace of mind knowing that our team is watching for important developmental milestones, including feeding, diapering, toilet training, and guiding the learning of your child.

Programs Offered:
