What Parents Say
Polliwogs Child Care in Peoria receives overwhelmingly positive reviews (7 five-star ratings) praising the caring staff, educational curriculum, and family-oriented atmosphere. However, one negative review raises serious concerns about toddler room supervision, staff responsiveness to parent concerns, and administrative handling of billing inquiries.
My children have been here almost a year now. I keep forgetting to review them so now, I will! I was about 3 weeks away from needing to return from my maternity leave when I found Polliwogs. From the moment I came in with my then 2 year old and my 1 month old, I felt so relieved. The owner went through everything with me, never hesitated to answer my many questions after we first met. She did everything to make me feel at home. After being burned by a home daycare who just shut up shop with zero notice and scrambling to find care last minute, I was not confident in finding a reliable place. Was I wrong! Polliwogs has the most caring, astute, nurturing and loving teachers. They are clean and safe. They keep up with all proper licensing and safety codes. They work with families in the beginning that may have to utilize state subsides. I've never had one complaint. They are a daycare for the real working parent. They know what reality is versus what other places try to peddle. I'm so grateful for the team at Polliwogs and all they've done for my little babies.
So. My son is 2, almost 3. He has a speech delay. He started at Polliwogs and has blossomed. I'm unsure if it's the teachers, atmosphere, curriculum.... Whatever it is, I'm staying here as long as we possibly can. Oh did I mention he LOVES attending?? The toddler who would scream and cry at the other daycares drop off.... He just walks to his room and waves bye to me. I cannot express how awesome Polliwogs is. Terri, Rachel, Meagan.... There are so so many amazing people there but I cannot name them all.. I'm just beside myself with joy that my son gets to enjoy his time this much AND become an even smarter little nugget. THANKS EVERYONE AT POLLIWOGS. ❤️
Our son attended Polliwogs from 12 weeks until 4 years of age. The owners Terri and Mo were very helpful and responsive to our scheduling and billing needs. The teachers our son had through every age level were very caring and child-focused. Our son always loved going and we were grateful for the care they provided. He was educationally and socially prepared as he transitioned into his next grade in school. We highly recommend Polliwogs Child Care!!
We loved Polliwogs. My son went for a bit over a year and I can't rave enough about all the staff. Everyone is lovely and it's a great facility. Stellar environment! ❤️ 10/10
My children have been attending Polliwogs since they were 4 months old and they are now almost 4 years old now. I couldn't be happier with the care they have been given at Polliwogs. Most of the children in their class have been their since they were babies so their parents must agree. The classes are very small and healthy meals that do not consist of mac and cheese, hot dogs, or chicken nuggets. I could not teach my children all the things they learn at Polliwogs. They are always coming home singing new songs, bring new art projects home, talking about yoga they did that day, or the visitor they had in their classroom. They are getting a great start to their education in the Pre-K classroom as well as great care. Whenever there has been an issue, Ms. Teri (owner) was always the first to tell me about it and that it was being handled, that was very comforting. When my children (twins) were younger, one would be taken to the next classroom before the other one if there were not 2 openings in the room. I know of one particular instance where the teacher took my son to see his sister. He gave her a hug and a kiss, saw she was ok, then they took him back to his classroom. That meant a lot that the teachers took the time to do that to comfort my children that are used to being together. When my daughter moved classrooms at a very young age, the previous teacher walked around holding my daughter all afternoon because my daughter missed her. I never have to worry about what is going on with my children, I can always text Ms Teri and she will text me back with how my children are. They also have cameras in every room and are monitored at the front desk. They have a fingerprint system to check kids in and out as well as a coded front door for security. Couldn't ask for a better place to send my children while I'm at work!
