“I cannot say enough wonderful things about Cadence Academy! My youngest has gone there since I went back to work from maternity leave. Such a stressful time, but I was immediately reassured with the kind and loving teachers. My son is now 18 months old and he LOVES going to daycare. It has helped him blossom into such a smart and sweet little boy. The director is wonderful! She is great with communication, paperwork, ensuring all classrooms are functioning properly, and that everyone is happy. Things are very clean and organized and each day seems to run smoothly. I know my babe is safe, healthy, and happy each day I am at work. Having that peace of mind is something that should not be taken for granted. I recommend this daycare to others all the time. My friend's baby even goes there now. :) We are very grateful for such an amazing experience.”

“Childtime of Washington does an excellent job taking care of our little one. Everyone is super kind. The director is almost always there to say hello and goodbye as we bring our little one in and out. So far all of her teachers/caretakers have been absolutely great, and it's super nice to be able to peak in on the cameras (of your child's classroom only) to be able to watch their progression and view the kiddos shenanigans”

“This day care is so clean and the staff are all so knowledgeable, helpful, and kind. Not to mention, they have so much for the kiddos to do throughout the day along side learning. They have a gymnasium, indoor/outdoor pools, a gymnastics area and so much more!”

“Our kids attended Cadence in Pekin from 2021-2025. We loved it! The director, assistant director and all of the teachers are wonderful! The kids really love them all, as well as Mr. Larry, the cook! The staff does an amazing job teaching the kids new skills, helping them with potty training, keeping them safe and teaching them letters, numbers, Spanish, and emotional skills. Our Kindergartener is SO far ahead of the rest of his class, and we believe it is because of the wonderful care and education he received at Cadence Academy in Pekin, IL! I recommend it to all parents with kids 6 weeks to Pre-K! A lot of the teachers have taught there for years and truly love teaching and love the kids as their own!! It is worth every penny!”

“My 2.5 yr old daughter goes here and she loves her teachers! They really help and encourage her with going potty! She always comes home with cute ponytails in her hair. Knowing my child is well taken care of and getting a daily picture of what she is learning through the Kaymbu app is so awesome!”

“I have been at mom at cadence for 2 years and I have two children that attend and coming from another cadence this center is wonderful. My daughter was diagnosed with autism and being nonverbal right before she turned 2 and the staff has been wonderful with her. We absolutely loved the toddlers room and I was nervous for her to go to the twos because I didn’t feel like she was ready but the Lead Teacher Courtney has been wonderful with her. For no one to have training with a special needs child my daughter is
Cared for amazingly I am never called to get her on her rough days and she has only been sick with HFM once in two years. I had no issues getting my son and he is currently in the infant room and he is doing great. I would highly recommend this location. There is no favoritism with kids or families and I appreciate. My daughter loves Miss Courtney and when she is not there my baby is looking for her. The office staff is amazing and I love that will come in and help when needed.”

“My husband and I highly recommend PALS. We have been sending our son there since he was 8 weeks old and they have been amazing. He surprises me every day with the things he is learning there thanks to the wonderful teachers.Everyone knows the pandemic has been tough. The teachers and staff at PALS have been amazing through this rough time. They get information to parents quickly and are following all guidelines to keep the kids and teachers safe. You can really see how much they care about the families that send their kids there.We are so happy we chose PALS and we recommend them to anyone who is looking for daycare.”

“Cadence Academy has been a blessing since the very first day my daughter has been enrolled there, when she was just an infant.They give me updates of her day and always call me when there is an issue. We are treated like family, and I know my daughter is in good hands when she can't be with us. I am beyond grateful for the staff, teachers, and LOVE they provide to not only my child, but everyone.”

“We have been going to Kings Kids for 2.5 years with 2 kiddos and they are great! Friendly teachers, I don't have to worry about the care my kids are getting. They do many activities and there's a large fenced in outside play area as well as a gym for inclement weather days so they can run and get energy out. Highly recommend!”

“I did a tour and was absolutely IN LOVE. This is the care and education every child deserves. Very top of the line. As much as I was amazed by this place i unfortunately couldn’t afford it as a single mother but those who can afford it….this is definitely the Best in Peoria area. They had a “steam room” that is just like Peoria Playhouse Museum, had a rock climbing wall, and sensory activities. You can tell your child’s education is taken serious and i absolutely was astonished compared to ANY daycare iv ever been to.”

The pricing is another mentionable trait of this facility to boast, the flexibility and understanding from the director has been phenomenal. Thanks again Whiz Kidz!”
