Best Day Care in Peoria IL
So you’re on the hunt for the best day care in Peoria IL? As parents, we only want the best for our children, so it stands to reason we do a lot of research to find top-quality care for them. For that, turn to PALS Praise and Leadership Schools, where we instill confidence and let children discover and expand their talents. We do it all, from infant daycare and toddler care to twos & threes and pre-K programs. That’s why we are proud to offer a variety of services to help your family. But we go beyond the model of a typical daycare, preschool or childcare center. We are a bit different, having spent decades developing a proven childcare experience that engages your child through creative play and learning. The development of your child: this is what we are committed to. We want them to grow into happy, successful adults.
A Look Into Our Daycare Curriculum
We’ve studied the best day care programs in the world, to result in our comprehensive and innovative daycare curriculum. It’s built on helping your child with decision making, problem-solving, and goal-setting — skills we teach here at PALS from a young age. All our programs have some of their best practices included, such as:
- Howard Gardner’s multiple intelligence theory
- Don Holdaway’s foundations of literacy
- HighScope preschool program
- Brian Cambourne’s conditions of learning
- Dr. Becky Bailey’s Conscious Discipline
PALS — which relies on a curriculum that helps children develop spatial awareness, logic and reason, and gross motor skills — teaches self-responsibility and compassion. And with a curriculum introducing foundational cognitive reasoning that teaches and enhances language arts, arithmetic, social skills, and understanding of the surrounding world, you can rest easy.
Our daily schedule includes child-directed activity centers, stories and songs, group games, art projects, and creative playtime. But don’t worry: your child will also get rest periods, nutritious meals, and constant adult supervision. It’s our goal to instill self-responsibility and compassion, and our program ensures our students go on to attend quality elementary schools and programs.
Teachers at Our Day Care
At PALS, we only welcome teachers here who uphold the highest standards we set for ourselves, requiring all co-teachers to meet the same qualifications. We are proud of our selectivity, believing wholeheartedly in fostering teachers’ self-development and growth. To that end, you will only find fully licensed early childhood education instructors on staff here at PALS Praise & Leadership Schools – all of whom have a passion for inspiring children while nurturing their needs.
We handpick and train our staff in the latest techniques in developmental education, with campuses in North Peoria and Downtown Peoria. They are all fully accessible for young children, as well as safe and secure.
