Learning Life Skills at Preschool
We focus on teaching life skills through positive reinforcement, accompanied by a strong set of values. PALS carries within it a passion for excellence in bringing out each child’s inherent gifts. We believe in coaching, teaching, and believing in children through the hard stuff until they get it right. This is much more than nursery school!
Pre-K Program
Renowned Pre Kindergarten Program
Our signature preschool program fills your child’s days with fun activities that build self-esteem and moral character as well as teach life skills and values. Through excitement and engagement, children learn without knowing they are learning. As a child care provider, we focus on providing the child skills for their entire life.
Daycare in Peoria That You Can Trust
PALS Praise & Leadership Schools are more than your typical daycare, preschool or childcare center. We have spent decades developing a proven childcare experience that engages your child through creative play and learning, all to help him or her develop into a happy, successful adult. Everything we do at PALS is designed to instill confidence and let children discover and expand their talents. We also help develop the social-emotional aspect of each child through the use of conscious discipline.
Daycare Curriculum
Decision making; problem-solving, of which arithmetic is only a small part; and goal setting. We teach these skills at PALS from a young age to instill in your child the ability to be successful at whatever they choose to apply themselves towards.
Our Teachers
At PALS, we hold the highest standard for our teachers and require all co-teachers to meet the same qualifications. Our selectivity, combined with our belief in fostering teachers’ self-development and growth is a big part of PALS’ remarkable staff retention. PALS’ staff turnover rate has always been under 20%.
Student Safety
The safety of your children is of our utmost concerns. Our front door is always locked, and each person entering the building must have clearance to be there. Once you enroll your child, we will give you a code that allows you to check your child in/out and opens the front door with a fingerprint.
