School Notes

  • School Motto: More Than Daycare
  • Finding the right child care center for your child is one of the most important decisions you will have to make as a parent. We here at the Peoria KinderCare Learning Center would love to help you make this decision easier. Our child care center takes pride in offering the best atmosphere for learning for your infant through school age child. We are proud to offer a superb pre-school curriculum and environment that helps each child reach his or her own potential. Our curriculum gives each child the skills that he or she needs to excel socially, emotionally, physically and intellectually. Our center serves many schools in the District 150 school district and provides excellent before and after school activities as well as transportation to the following elementary schools:
    Woodrow Wilson Primary
    Thomas Jefferson Primary
    Northmoor Primary
    Hines Primary
    Glen Oak Primary
    We also provide great activities on School-Day's out as well as the Summer for our School Age Children. Our program is designed to make sure that your child receives the best education experience possible while having fun. My staff and I welcome you in for a tour of our center and see why we are so proud of the work we do each and every day. Please feel free to come and meet our teachers, view our curriculum and see our children at work and play all while learning.
  • Our staff is highly trained in CPR and First Aid. We have a nurse visit our center monthly. We also practice fire and disaster drills every month. We also have a designated Health and Safety Coordinator on site. Our center has a secure entrance in which every family would need to enter a code to gain entrance to our building. Fire and Tornado drils are done routinely so that all our children and staff know exactly what to do if ever there is a fire or other disaster. Your child's safety is our main concern each and every day!
