Daycare Curriculum
Our goal is to help your child develop into a happy, successful adult. We teach many valuable skills at PALS from a young age so your child can be successful at whatever he or she does in the future. Because we have studied the best programs in the world, we incorporate some of their best practices into our program, including:

- Brian Cambourne’s conditions of learning
- Howard Gardner’s multiple intelligence theory
- Dr. Becky Bailey’s Conscious Discipline
PALS relies on a curriculum that helps children develop spatial awareness, logic and reason, and gross motor skills. We teach self-responsibility and compassion, and our program consistently witnesses excellent results as our students go on to quality elementary schools and programs.

Teachers and Student Safety
We staff fully licensed early childhood education instructors here at PALS Praise & Leadership Schools, employing teachers who uphold the highest standards. Plus, we demand all co-teachers meet the same qualifications. We are proud of our selectivity, believing wholeheartedly in fostering teachers’ self-development and growth.
Rest easy knowing all our teachers bring a passion for inspiring children while nurturing their needs. We work hard to handpick and train our staff in the latest techniques in developmental education on an ongoing basis.
When it comes to keeping our students safe, we make sure our front door is always locked, and each person entering the building must have clearance to be there. Upon enrolling your child, you will get a code that allows you to check your child in/out and opens the front door with a fingerprint. Our campuses in North Peoria and Downtown Peoria are fully accessible for young children, as well as safe and secure.
