“We are so in love with this place! So thankful for Miss Mia and her crew! Our baby is so happy and they take the best photos. I feel so confident in their care and am so thankful that we get to send him there each and every day!”
“My daughter went there for preschool and Pre-K! We had such a great experience! The communication is great and the teachers are wonderful and so caring! This made her first time in school a wonderful experience!”
“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 children have received excellent care and amazing developmental activities that has helped my two little ones learn so much it has been nice watching their knowledge expand and thrive !”

“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.”
“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.”
“My kids has been going to KinderCare since April of 2025 and I have never had an issue with any employee. They are very helpful and understanding. I love that I am notified right away whenever my children are sick or etc. I highly recommend this daycare to ANYONE! great job KinderCare!”
“Edit: I have heard from friends since moving that the Center may be changing in a negative direction under new/uncertain leadership after Rose is no longer with Center. I blame Bright Horizons for not treating employees better. So please beware that this review may or may not be representative of current conditions.
My family LOVES this place! We were there for 1.5 years before moving out of state recently and wish we could have taken them with us! Rose, the Director, and her staff are fantastic. I felt confident my 1.5 and 3.5 year old were well cared for and loved every day. They are great with dietary restrictions, they have several different spaces for the kids to go throughout the week (music room, huge movement room, library, STEM room, huge playground with tons of fun things for the kids, etc.), and many of their staff have been there for 5-10+ years and love what they do. You can tell the staff are treated well and are given benefits which many other daycares don't offer, which is important to me because happy caregivers often mean better teachers and less turnover). I highly recommend this place, and know multiple other families who feel the same! By far the best childcare center you'll find in the Peoria area!”
