Open Arms Christian Child Development Center

Open Arms Christian Child Development Center is a ministry of Immanuel Lutheran Church, dedicated to sharing with each child and their parents God's unconditional love so that children and their families may grow, mature and become part of a community of fully devoted followers of Jesus Christ.
Our spacious sunlit classrooms, toys, learning materials, early childhood library, full-size gymnasium for indoor play and development of large motor skills, and new outdoor play areas foster and stimulate your child's interactions and imagination.
At Open Arms our staff respects each child as a unique individual created by God.
Our job is to teach the whole child starting with the little bitty baby to the kindergartener.
Our belief is that children learn best through their first-hand sensory experiences of feeling, listening, tasting, smelling and observing.
Children need to manipulate, experiment, and explore; however, they also need established guidelines, rules, and routines to feel safe and secure.
It is our goal to provide a diverse array of materials and learning opportunities along with the protective controls that children need for optimal learning and development.
