They never actually 'cancelled' the show, as far as I know. They just never ordered another series (which is different from cancelling). The same was done with Doc McStuffins, but after over a year of absence, they announced that it was getting another season.

The ratings got lower and lower as people took to the internet to watch the episodes. Ratings are no longer a good indicator for the overall strength. Back when there was no easy way to watch the show, the viewers were stronger.
