Our daughter, Calla, has been at Open Arms since she was just 1 year old, and now she’s about to graduate from VPK—what an incredible journey it’s been! The love, care, and attention she’s received over the years have helped her grow into a confident, curious, and kind little girl. We couldn’t be more grateful for the amazing foundation she’s gotten here. Our son, Ollie, started attending when he was only 12 weeks old, and he’s now 17 months—happy, thriving, and always excited to go to school. The staff have been nothing short of wonderful with him, supporting every stage of his development with so much patience and genuine care. As Calla has grown, she’s been able to participate in some of the enrichment activities offered (for a fee), like dance and Soccer Shots, which have been wonderful opportunities for her to develop new skills and interests. They also occasionally host Parents' Night Out events for potty-trained kids, which have been such a thoughtful and appreciated bonus for us as parents! Open Arms truly feels like a second home for our family. The teachers and staff are nurturing, professional, and deeply invested in the kids’ well-being and growth. Angie (Director) and Brittani (Assistant Director) are also incredible—so approachable, organized, and caring. Knowing our children are safe, loved, and learning every day gives us such peace of mind. We can’t recommend Open Arms highly enough!

Open Arms has been a wonderful daycare choice for us to send our child to! The teachers and staff truly care about the individual needs of the children while helping them to socialize and play with others. The staff are excellent communicators and keep us posted on how our child doing. The location is great and pick-up and drop-off go smoothly.

We switched our daughter from a different daycare and feel very safe and happy having our children at Open Arms. They are open with communication which helps parents feel comfortable. They have multiple employees who have been there several years which speaks to the quality of the environment. Definitely recommend!

Open Arms has been fantastic for our kids! The teachers are all so warm and kind and really care about their growth and development. They truly love the children like family. No to mention how much they've learned and how prepared they are for kindergarten. Cannot recommend this daycare/VPK enough!

The group here is super caring and nice. They treat the kids like little gifts, with lots of patience. The classrooms are well organized and on schedule. Anytime I have seen the kids they are behaving and learning. The kids do great art projects and learn a lot. More then just taking care of your kid, they are teaching them. Couldn't be more happy.
