Embrace has been part of our village as our child care provider! This facility has a great location, is super accessible from interstate 74 and north Peoria. The secured doors gave us great peace of mind. The facility is light, bright, modern and welcoming. Our favorite feature has been our beloved teachers! We are so thankful for our teachers at Embrace and the great care they provided to our son. Our teachers played an irreplaceable part in helping our son with routine, napping and big transitions like potty training. We have a 2nd little one that will be starting at Embrace soon and we look forward to continuing to use the facility.
Stephanie Cady ChristensenOct 30, 2025The teachers are great! Our child loves them and enjoys going there. However if you are a working family this place is too unreliable to be open on a consistent basis. In the year and a half we have been going there we have had to find emergency care or take vacation days from work because they will unexpectedly close. This has happened about 6-8 times over the course of the time we have been going there. They give almost zero notice on when they will unexpectedly close. The notice has been as little as 30 minutes before they open on a Monday morning. Very unreliable child care facility. Update to this review: Couple weeks later we were contacted to come pickup our child because of one instance of diarrhea because they suspected the stomach flu. When i arrived at the facility they were feeding my child their morning snack and she was energetic and had no fever. When i asked the decision was based solely on the one instance of diarrhea. As i continued asking why this time an not any other time she has ever had this because you can clearly tell she is not sick. the response i was given from the manager is that i should look for another facility. The management of this facility is the only reason i would not recommend this child care facility. Very poor practices like having a 2 hour delay for ice but not having anyone spread salt for when the children arrive. allowing their staff to show up late so you may have to wait in the room for the teacher to show up for work. I also noticed that because of staffing issues they will place my 3 year old with younger kids because the ratio is off. I can continue going on, but you get my point. Lastly i was personally treated differently based on my appearance and this is something both of the managers told me personally. I don't think judging someone for their personal appearance something i am wanting my children to do. For the price they charge trust me you can find a facility that is reliable and works with your kids. not just a tablet with Danny Go on it.
chris sorensenAug 19, 2024Best child care in the area! I am a foster mom and they have worked with me so well during crazy work/travel seasons, biological parent visits, caseworker visits and anything that comes up with a smile and a patient attitude. They interact with the sweet kiddos so well and give extra love on the hard days.The staff treats you like family and goes above and beyond for all the kiddos in their care. I know that my little girl is always being well taken care of by all of the teachers and directors. If you are looking for child care in the area, I highly recommend Embrace Life!
Mallory BlunierMay 10, 2023Our family has had an excellent experience at Embrace Life Child Care Center. Our baby was one of the first babies in the infant room at 8 months. They staff walked every step of the way with us and are very knowledgeable in infant care and truly care. The staff and directors go over and beyond for our son. Now that he has transitioned to the toddler room he is growing, and learning. They use 21st century technology and we can keep up with her sons day in real time. The care he has received has been amazing. They are always quick to communicate concerns and they are willing to work with you to meet the needs of your child. If you are looking for a child care center I would strongly recommend Embrace Life.
April TroyerMay 3, 2023We love Embrace Life!
Tara WeaverMay 2, 2023Wonderful with kids and seem to genuinely care!
