  • We have been with the Cadence family since October 2025 and have loved it since! My son loves his teachers! They greet us everyday and make us feel special! Would recommend Cadence to everyone!

  • We had such a great experience with Cadence! I always feel comfortable leaving my son here, and he absolutely loves his teachers. They are so kind, caring, and truly create a warm, fun environment for the kids. He is always excited to go, which says everything. I’m so grateful we found this place and highly recommend it!

  • Cadence on Grand Ave in WDM is 6/5 stars. Here’s a quick story about why you should send your kid here: We were driving around last night and my 3 year old son started talking to us about boulders. Totally random but definitely in context to what we were talking about at the time. I asked him how he knew what a boulder was, and he told me learned about them at school (Cadence on Grand) because they were in the sensory bin. I was just totally blown away that he could communicate this with us and knew what a boulder was. These kinds of things happen all the time and he always tells us he learned about whatever it was at school. We LOVE what the staff here is doing, and would recommend them to ANYONE in the Des Moines area. To Erica and Madison and all the Cadence staff- keep up the great work!

  • The people at Cadence Academy make it a truly loving and special place. They go above and beyond to make our daughter feel loved - especially on those tough mornings when kiddo emotions are running high. Erica and her team are simply wonderful people and incredible caretakers of our sweet girl. Thank you to all of them for the care they've shown our kiddos over the years!

  • My husband and I absolutely love Cadence Academy on Grand! We have had nothing but great experiences. Erica and Madison are amazing! We have known Erica for almost 3 years, since our daughter started going there. She is honest, trustworthy and kind hearted. The teachers have taught our child so much, it’s incredible. Choosing childcare is the most important thing you can do for your kids, we did not go wrong in this decision!
