"We love Open Arms and its staff. They are like a part of our extended family. My daughter looks forward to going there each day and I think that they take excellent care of her. The curriculum is good but its the values that she's taught that makes this place great."
-- Kareen McIntyre
"My son has been at Open Arms for 2 years and we are extremely pleased with the care he has received. He talks about 'daycare' when he's at home, about his friends, teachers and the new songs and stories he has learned. I have the utmost confidence in the teachers and providers, which gives me peace of mind when I have to be away."
-- Erica Scott
"We appreciate the flexibility of Open Arms' center and staff. It is very reassuring to know that whether our son is attending full-time or part-time, he is receiving the best possible care in a loving environment"

"I am so grateful I found Open Arms and joined Holy Emmanuel Church! My daughter, Hope, started at Open Arms when she was 3 months old and she is now almost 3 years old. Since day one, I have always felt she was in a safe and nurturing environment. I think it says a lot that most of the teachers that were at there on that first day are still there; as well as most of the children she started with in the infant room are still with her in her current classroom.
Hope is learning more at Open Arms than I would ever be able to teach her myself (even if I was fortunate enough to stay home with her everyday). She has learned so much and is so well taken care of. She is not only learning her numbers and colors, in English and Spanish, but she is also learning about manners and respecting others. Every parent thinks his or her child is advanced, which of course Hope is, but I also know most of what she knows is due to the caring and knowledgeable staff at Open Arms.
I definitely feel that Hope does not just attend Open Arms - I feel like we are both a part of the Open Arms family!"

"Our daughter Holly attended Open Arms for 2-1/2 years. Now, at 11 years old, she still remembers her Open Arms teachers fondly as well as the Christian songs she learned."

"As a new mom, I was nervous about how much attention my baby would get at a child care center. I was very happy to find out that her primary caregiver was a perfect fit, and even successful at getting her to start eating from a bottle."
-- Mindy Schulfer
"Our son was pointing out the cross to me at 15 months and now, at 2 years old, has started praying before our meals. Open Arms has done a great job at reinforcing our Christian values."
