    These people dont know how to use common sense. 2 hour, $200 prompt care visit because of mosquito bites. Tried to tell them but nope. Things similar to this happened with our other kids, but wow mosquito bites really takes the cake...

    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!

    Best decision I’ve made to bring my two kids here. I have such reassurance when I drop them off that I am doing the right thing. My kids attend three days a week. Thank you to all of the teachers we’ve had over the last three years.
