WE are VALESKA! The Valeska Hinton Early Childhood Education Center is a school for birth to six-year-old children and their families. This early childhood program provides care and education in a developmentally appropriate NAEYC accredited “laboratory school”. Guided by the philosophy that “all children can learn,” Valeska operates year round serving 400 at-risk children from all areas of Peoria School District. “It takes a whole village to raise a child” - African Proverb. To gain accelerated development of social, emotional, language, and cognitive ability in a secure and stable environment, children enter the center and join one of the four “villages”. Valeska’s “villages” serve as a hub for many family and community activities. Our school is a place where everyone goes to learn. In other words, we are dedicated to an inclusive approach to education where family, community, and school assume the important roles of developing the whole child! ~ Valeska Hinton Leadership Team
