Mrs. Crystal Alley

Owner/Director April 2022-present

As the Owner and Director, she clearly has a passion for children. Her love for working with children started about 30 years ago when she would go to work with her mom at a child care center. While working as a teacher at another center she obtained an associate’s degree in respiratory therapy, after a year away from child care her passion for children won out and she came to work at Peoria Child Care as a floater, then filled the center’s need for a cook. While in this position she received her certificate of Mastery and was promoted to assistant director, with a dream to one day own her own center she obtained her associates in child development and was promoted to Director while still filling the position as the cook. Finally, in September 2021 after expressing an interest to take over the center from the previous owner upon his retirement, Jeff Campbell decided it was time to pass on the mission of Love to grow by to someone he knew would be able to fill those shoes. Crystal and Walter completed the purchase in April of 2022 and will continue shaping the minds and hearts of children for many years to come. She continues to get inspiration from the children’s daily hugs, I love you’s, and funny stories they tell about themselves and their families. Outside of the center Crystal enjoys going to the lake, camping, and spending time with her husband.

Mrs. Allanna

Assistant Director 2022-present

Always wanting to help people she started in childcare over 25 years ago. She spent 2 of those years as a nanny for one of our military members who was deployed to Iraq and fortunately for us Allana is now at our center. She has her Certificate of Mastery and Directors certificate. Every age group gives her daily inspiration as she says this is not “baby sitting” we are teaching the young minds and while they don’t realize they are learning all the hugs, giggles, genuine love the children have, and seeing their face when they learn something new is some of her favorite things. Outside of the center she enjoys her plants, watching movies, painting, doing puzzles, listening to her record player, and being with family.
