Open Arms is THE best daycare you will find! The genuine love and care our two daughters receive is unmatched. Our two year old learns so much each week-colors, how to share, cleaning up after herself, how to express her emotions-the list goes on and on. They also spend a lot of time outside and make sure that each holiday is festive and fun! We cannot even come close to putting into words just how special Open Arms is, but we’re SO lucky to have found it.

Finding the right daycare can be stressful, but Open Arms has put my worries at ease. The caregivers are fantastic - warm, friendly, and always attentive to my child's needs. They go above and beyond to make each day fun and engaging with creative crafts and activities. The management team is another big plus. They're professional, approachable, and always happy to answer my questions. Overall, Open Arms has been a wonderful experience for our child and family. I highly recommend them to anyone searching for a nurturing and engaging daycare!

The Director is in over her head here. The 2's class has a great teacher but the 3s is a revolving door. There is one good teacher in the 3s class and a "Lead" which I use lightly that clearly hates watching kids and often disappears throughout the day, has left kids unattended in the bathroom or even soiled because she doesn't like to do her job. They absolutely hate being held accountable or asked about what the kids do at school. I'm sure they will respond to this as "we" we're difficult but all we really want is what is in the best interest of our kids and others. We provided pumpkins during Halloween, and had characters for a birthday for the whole school! All we asked is for updates on the progress of our child, to be informed and for them to hold themselves to a high standard as promised in our initial visit. Instead, a "teacher" was involved in a DCFS investigation, who was still in the school after shaking a child! There are still unresolved violations, just contact DCFS to verify. If this school sounds familiar it was involved in a lead contamination years back that they neglected to inform the parents in a timely manner and had news crews crawling all over the place. Take what they say as a grain of salt, they don't even follow their own Christian ways. We really had high hopes for this place, there have been many families that have left this place and more on the horizon. Be very weary until they hire the right people here!

We have had both of our children attend Open Arms, and I can’t imagine leaving our children in the care of any other center. Starting at drop off, the teachers are so welcoming and caring. They truly love the children and enjoy taking care of them. We know our children are always safe and nurtured.
