My little one has learned so much in the couple months attending one for the first time and the ladies have been wonderful bonding with our baby.

Within the first 2 weeks my child started there, his teacher had a mental breakdown in the hallway…read moreand was screaming at me about how she couldn't handle my son's tantrums. ( Child was just barely 1 1/2 years old- starting at a new daycare for the first time. Attachment issues to be expected.) I was livid at the lack of professionalism and dramatic manner this teacher talked to me in as I just set foot in the building. The director did address the problem and that teacher was assigned to another class. My child's class had a new great teacher reassigned- and we didn't have issues for months. Sadly this didn't last long. One by one teachers would come and they would go, lots not even lasting a week. This was a red flag- if a company couldn't keep staff what is the true problem? With high turnover it led the children to be frustrated, have anxiety with no consistency. Children at these ages require a constant environment for them to feel safe and grow. After several months of the chaos, my son began to act out. His teachers made it very obvious to me that they did not care for him which didn't help. The Director would call unplanned meetings out in the middle of the day and would have me take my child home after without warning. She has a hard time discussing conflict and cant take feedback. I believe in open discussion to find the root of the problem, and she did not operate that way. Our family worked very hard with child anxiety professionals for in order to comply with Shanas demands. We spent an incredible amount of time and money to do what she asked of us. There was significant improvements at home and with other children outside of the center- concluding that Shanas daycare operations was the issue. MANY days there would be more kids than allowed to a teacher in a class. I remember there was 21 children to 1 teacher one day. how is that even legal? The final months we were there was insanely stressful- we were getting daily write ups. My child then came home with a bloody arm. I immediately reached out to the team. I was furious that there was no mention of it. It turned out that the teachers weren't paying attention and little girl got into a brutal fight with him. The teachers said they "Forgot" to write a report. There was no hesitation when my son hit, scratched or left even a tiny mark. The moment he was hurt they didn't care. The final day, I was in the middle of a major meeting with the CEO of my company. I received a call from the daycare director that I would need to come to her office immediately to discuss a situation with my child. I walked in and the Director was shaking nervously. I inquired to see if she was okay and then she advised me that my child hit again. The mother of this other child "feared for her child's safety" and the "Teachers did not want to work with my child in their class." At that point, I was over her pretence in placing blame on my child when the root problem is her and her staff. I calmly pointed out that he was doing well until her staffing became a problem. The feedback did not sit well with her. I packed my child's things and left. Later she and my husband spoke- she fabricated a story to him saying that I was abrasive. she was terrified of me and didn't want to be alone with me. I was very grateful that I had recorded our entire conversation. I lost my job because of all of the insanity she put us through - but it was worth it knowing that my son is no longer being scrutinized by an unstable daycare facility operated by an insane woman who doesn't know how to run a business. AVOID THIS PLACE!!!!

Due to recent staffing changing and the boards failure to quickly refill some positions; my son left the building while upset and his absence was unnoticed for 10+ minutes.

They claim from what my son's mother was told "he climbed into a shelf and fell" But I find it very odd that his face got bruised up that bad AND on the back of his head. It wasn't a roll down a hill. Just a fall? So??? Either way if my son was able to get himself up onto a shelf it would've taken him longer than 5-30 seconds. So why didn't anyone address it and get him down and prevent the fall? Why didn't any care workers notice? Why didn't they? Right. Look at all of these other reviews in here they have a looooooong track record. My son isn't one to climb on shelves. Or counters for that matter. None of it makes sense. Either way nope nope nope.

I started taking my 1st born to this daycare back in 2017 when it was under another owner and name…read more"Skool Days". She attended full time until she started kindergarten yet continues to attend during school breaks and during summer break. I can't say enough good things about them. As a mom who is also a pediatric nurse, the decision to put my children in daycare was very difficult, but I don't regret it. My 1st born could say her alphabet at 2 years of age, and has built long lasting friendships and have continued out side of daycare even though she doesn't go to the same school as her friends. I was nervous when I had my 2nd child because the daycare had changed to cadence academy with a different director and new staff since my 1st was a baby. Yet they have continued to provide quality care. My now almost 2 year old loves going to daycare everyday. She adores Miss Kathy and runs to her class room in the morning excited to play. Yes kids are kids and they do get hurt or scratched but that can also happen under any parent's supervision. We're human, but the staff and director Maria have always been caring and responsible about calling/reporting any injury's. Even those injury's that I wouldn't have even thought twice about, because again they're kids, they get hurt and they hurt each other that's life. If you are looking for a caring daycare that your children will love this is it.

My time with Cadence Academy only lasted nine months, but it felt like there were constant…read morecommunication issues--both between the staff and me, and even between the director and their own teachers. More than once, my child came home with scratches on their face from other kids, and no one told me what happened. Sometimes, it seemed like the staff didn't even know. As a parent, that was unsettling. I shouldn't have to chase down basic information about my child's well-being. It started to shake my trust in the school, but the director reassured me that things would get better and even promised that if anything like this happened again, they'd be more than willing to share video footage. But after I started bringing up concerns, I noticed a shift in how I was treated. The teachers were still good with my child, but I felt like they started ignoring me--cold stares, no greetings, just an overall weird vibe. It gave me the impression that speaking up wasn't actually welcome, despite being told otherwise. Then another incident happened, and once again, no one informed me. So I asked to see the video footage, just like they had promised. This time, though, the director completely backtracked and told me I'd need a court order to access it. That response made me feel misled--like their original promise wasn't genuine. And then, later that same day, they abruptly un-enrolled my child. When I asked why, their corporate office claimed that I had 'physically intimidated' the director by closing the door and using profanity. That honestly felt like a complete misrepresentation of what actually happened. Yes, I asked to speak with the director about why I wasn't being informed when my child got hurt. Yes, I closed the door so we could talk privately. And yes, I sat in a chair across from the director's desk, frustrated but advocating for my child. At no point did I intimidate anyone, yell, or use profanity. It felt to me like they framed the situation in a way that justified their decision instead of addressing the real issue--their lack of communication and accountability. In the end, them unenrolling my child turned out to be a blessing in disguise. I've since found a preschool that actually feels organized and makes an effort to keep me informed when incidents happen. Would I recommend Cadence Academy to other parents? Absolutely not. In my experience, they made it seem like they encouraged parental involvement, but when concerns were raised, it felt more like passive hostility than real action. To me, they seemed short-staffed, disorganized, and unwilling to make real improvements--just a lot of empty promises. This is purely my personal experience and how I felt about my time at Cadence Academy. I understand that others may have had different experiences, but I can only speak to what I personally went through and how it appeared to me. My thoughts and impressions are based on what I observed and how I felt as a parent navigating these situations.

A friend recommended a new spot called Canny Kids in Draper, which was a subscription-based drop-in daycare. I liked the idea of on-demand childcare, and they were available when I needed care, so I took Lucy to Canny Kids on our second day in Utah. I consider this a very fortuitous day, because she immediately loved her time at Canny Kids. I was given a password-protected link to view security cameras, so I could peek in and see if she was okay at her first time in daycare. And when I watch the camera, she is either happily playing, or getting one-on-one attention from a caregiver. I've brought Lucy back dozens of times when I've needed a sitter, but also have made appointments just because she asks to go play at Canny Kids. When my grandma died, and I needed some help through funeral preparation, the staff were so supportive and sweet. I know I can count on them to not just care for my daughter, but many of the staff clearly love her. If you need flexible childcare in the south end of the Salt Lake Valley, give Canny Kids a try.

Both our kids really enjoyed their time and were said when we had to pack up and move on to our next destination. Appreciated that they had a secure way to tap into a live stream video feed to help us check in on our kids virtually. The team was easy to communicate with using text messaging. Would recommend to anyone looking for on-demand child care.
