Our Norwood Preschool Programs

Joining the Cadence Academy Family

We offer a variety of enrollment options that fit your family's needs, including part-time and full-time schedules, extended hours, and summer programming. Here's what you and your little ones can expect when you're part of our Norwood preschool family:

Our Curriculum

Our curriculum provides a strong foundation for children's academic success and the teachers and staff at our Norwood daycare and preschool center provide a warm, nurturing environment in which every child can be successful.

Our activities are designed to engage and challenge each child at his or her own level. Children retain more when they're having fun, so our programs emphasize learning through play.

At our Norwood preschool, we utilize the Ascend Curriculum, which is proven to help children think critically, learn to solve problems, and become more independent.

Our age-appropriate classrooms are warm and inviting. Within each classroom, we have distinct interest areas consisting of blocks, table toys, art, cooking, computers, library, house corner, and outdoor play.

These well-defined areas present clear activity choices to children and give them control over their time throughout the day. Play materials are on low shelves, in containers, and on hooks so that they are easily reachable and children gain a sense of independence.

To find out more about our Norwood daycare facility and preschool center, please browse our website or give us a call. We would be happy to schedule a tour and answer any questions you may have!

Nurturing and Safe Environment for Infants and Toddlers

Our Norwood daycare and preschool center is a safe and nurturing place for infants and toddlers. In our calm and secure environment, our caring childcare providers spend ample amounts of time rocking, cuddling, talking, singing, and engaging with your little one. Through thoughtful efforts, we will turn ordinary caregiving routines into teachable moments based on individual needs and developmental levels, following a curriculum designed for even our youngest learners.

Our teachers and teaching staff have extensive experience in child care and early education. We are passionate about working with young children and creating a warm and loving environment where each child can thrive.

We believe that it is important for children to feel comfortable and confident in a school setting before they start kindergarten. That's why we offer pre-kindergarten programs that prepare children for the transition into elementary school. Our curriculum sets a strong foundation for your little ones' academic success.

Parent Communication App

The Cadence Academy Preschool network uses an extraordinary Parent Communication App that our teachers use daily to relay information and send pictures to family members, send newsletters, and track developmental progress for each child's portfolio!

With this application, parents and guardians at our Norwood center and all other Cadence Academy schools are able to opt into email or text alerts, and they can receive any information, instantaneously, about their child and their child's school day.

Teachers and staff can tag daily pictures with our Developmental Domains (Social/Emotional, Physical, Artistic, Cognitive, and Language/Literacy) and are then able to communicate with the parents and guardians by adding captions or sending quick little notes.

Families LOVE this feature, and we're utilizing it more and more each day! We are so excited to be able to communicate with our families throughout the day and to show them what their children are learning each day.

We invite you to visit our Norwood daycare center! We'd love to meet you and your child.

Chrissy Gagliard has worked with children all her life, but she said it's now great to bring it all home.

Gagliard, owner of Chrissy's Little School in Norwood, said she's been a camp counselor, a babysitter and a preschool teacher in her time.

"I taught in Wellesley for ten years," she said. "I started babysitting when I was 11 years old. From there, it's just always been something I wanted to do. Kids are all I've ever known and it's really been my world."

Gagliard said teaching young children educated her as much if not more than the kids.

"I love their reactions to new things, the excitement in their hearts and eyes over something as simple as a bug or a rock," she said. "You learn so much from a child that you wouldn't know unless you spent some quality time with them. It's just as rewarding to me to teach them something as it is for them to learn."

Gagliard said she had always loved to work with small children, but it was when she learned the rewards of responsibility that she found her calling.

"When I started camp counseling and kids were depending on me, that's when I knew this is what I wanted to do," she said.

Gagliard said though she enjoyed teaching in a school, it became taxing to juggle work and taking care of her own three children.

"I am first and foremost a mom," she said. "I have a five year old named Caitlyn, a four year old named Brian and 20 month old boy named Charlie. I was contemplating going back to work, but my son is going back to school and I wanted to have the flex time to be able to be home after school. It's important to me to still be able to be with him after school and work during the day, so now I set my own hours and have my own business."

She added though she enjoyed the school environment, she always felt a more personal one-on-one approach with children works the best.

"I've always dreamed of doing it," she said. "It was kind of the plan when we bought this house eight years ago. I think the six to one ratio is important. There are more one on one opportunities. It's a nice transition for kids that have separation anxiety of are shy in large groups. It's less overwhelming, some of the preschools can have 26 kids in a class and that can be too much."

Gagliard added though it is a comfortable environment, it's still a school.

"We're not a daycare," she said. "There's a structure and a curriculum. I truly believe in learning through play."

Chrissy's Little School is located on 19 Hoyle St. and is now accepting students.

What does the Self Help Head Start program do?

The Head Start program of Self Help, Inc. is a comprehensive early childhood education, health, nutrition, and family services program focused primarily on low income, pre-school children ages 3-5, and their families across thirty-one (31) Massachusetts communities, at six (6) Head Start Sites. (more info below)

Our resources and services are designed to prepare children to enter kindergarten ready to learn and to promote their success in later learning. The program also helps families set health and nutrition objectives and meet their own economic self-sufficiency goals.

What areas does the Self Help Head Start program serve?

The Self Help Head Start program serves children and their families at six (6) Head Start locations in Brockton, Middleboro, Norton, Norwood, Stoughton, and Whitman.

Self Help, Inc. Head Start sites are all licensed by the Mass. Department of Early Education and Care, and they are accredited by the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC).

The towns we service include: Abington Attleboro, Avon, Bridgewater, Brockton, Canton, Dedham, Easton E. Bridgewater, Foxboro, Franklin, Hanson, Holbrook, Mansfield, Middleboro, Norfolk, Middleboro, Norfolk, Norton, Norwood, N. Attleboro, Plainville, Randolph, Rockland, Sharon, Stoughton, W. Bridgewater, Whitman, Walpole, Wrentham, Westwood.

How the Head Start Program Works

Head Start regulations stipulate no more than 20 children per room, with a Teacher and an Assistant Teacher. The Head Start Program has 4 and 6 hour classrooms and is offered at no cost to families that qualify. We also offer a 10 hour Full Day Program for a sliding scale fee to families that qualify.

The Head Start program year begins at the beginning of October and runs through the middle of June each year. Transportation may be available for children depending on need and availability. Children receive a nutritious meal served family style for breakfast and lunch each day. All children are taught to wash their hands before meals and to brush their teeth after meals. The children are encouraged to develop good personal health habits. A nutritious afternoon snack is also provided in the 6 and 10 hour classrooms.

The Self Help Head Start program gives children a head start in life by providing them with activities that help them to develop mentally, socially, emotionally, and physically. Head Start recognizes that parents are the first and most important teachers of their children, so parent involvement is not only welcome, but greatly encouraged.

Head Start staff offers children love, acceptance, understanding, and the opportunity to learn and to experience success. Parents can participate as full partners with those staff members to help children progress. Head Start children socialize with others, solve problems, and have other experiences to so improve their listening and speaking skills and help them become enthusiastic, self-confident learners. They spend time in stimulating settings to form good habits and enjoy playing with educational materials and working on tasks with classmates.

Children leave Head Start more prepared for kindergarten, excited about learning, and ready to succeed. Health professionals also assess children for any health problems, including arranging for vision and hearing tests, and assisting parents with needed immunizations. Head Start offers nutritional assessments and dental exams, too. Children with health needs receive follow-up services. Mental health and other services are available for children and families with special needs.
