Pekin Preschool Family Educ

Pekin Preschool Family Educ is a preschool in Pekin, Illinois, located at 1000 Koch St. It sits about a tenth of a mile from Kiwanis Park South and Wilson Intermediate School, and a short distance from the City of Pekin Transportation Department and the Pekin City Street Department, both roughly two to three tenths of a mile away. Derby Street is about three tenths of a mile from the school, and Faith Baptist Christian School is a similar distance.

The preschool shares its name and address with the Pekin, Illinois insurance operation founded in 1921, when a group of Central Illinois farmers organized to offer affordable, reliable auto coverage. That organization grew into an insurance carrier that provides financial protection for cars, homes, lives, and businesses across 22 states. It serves policyholders, agents, and communities, and describes its approach as people-focused, motivated by genuine caring for employees, policyholders, agents, and community. Its stated values emphasize responding, following through, and adapting to challenges, with conservative philosophy paired with modern, easy ways to do business.

The group is made up of four companies. The Farmers Automobile Insurance Association was formed as a reciprocal exchange in 1921 and writes full lines of property and casualty coverage. Pekin Insurance Company was formed in 1961 as a capital stock company wholly owned by FAIA, also writing property and casualty products. Pekin Select Insurance Company, formed in 2019, offers workers' compensation insurance. Pekin Life Insurance Company, formed in 1965, writes life, health, and annuity products, with shares traded over the counter under the ticker symbol PKIN.

In Illinois, the company offers business insurance, funeral preplanning, group and voluntary life insurance, individual life insurance, Medicare supplement, personal insurance, and annuities. Its products include a Cyber Shield for contractors, an Autocare Service Businessowner's Policy designed for auto body repair businesses, and pre-need insurance for end-of-life arrangements. Its claims department has earned high marks from industry associations, and it has been recognized as a top workplace for work-life flexibility.
