Welcome To ABODE Peoria Preschool

ABODE Peoria draws inspiration from the Reggio Emilia and Montessori philosophies. We provide a secure, enjoyable preschool and daycare where care, development, and learning converge seamlessly. We believe that early childhood is a time of natural exploration and discovery, where young children learn through hands-on experiences, recognizing that every child learns differently.

Our programs cater to children from infancy to 6 years old.
