About Us

Crittenton Centers has been in Peoria and serving all of Central Illinois since 1892.  Having once served as a maternity home for unwed mothers, Crittenton Centers has evolved into a multi-service organization providing a variety of crisis intervention, education center, and parenting services within a nurturing and caring environment.

Currently our three core services are focused on preventing child abuse and neglect through our Crisis Nursery (emergency and respite care for infants and children ages birth to six years); helping prepare children for success in kindergarten through our Child Development Center (preschool and daycare for infants and children ages six weeks to six years); and teaching and supporting appropriate parenting skills while strengthening families through our Family Services.
