Open Arms Preschool is excellent, My son has attended Open Arms for the last two years. When we chose Open Arms it was easy because the staff was so accommodating and friendly. The attitude I`d see reflected as love throughout the school It was so great to find a school for toddlers not yet potty trained and all to have all meals and snacks provided son went through the infant program and it was great for him; so much growth!! He interacted with the other babies but still got the individual infant care he needed, The daily reports are valuable, and The love and care of the individual babies were apparent to me with my son and are every time I walk by the infant room now my son is in the toddler program, Again, I am so impressed with the program; they are all engaged, Cool and interesting lesson topics I can see the teachers control the environment and not the kids. Every day I see all the teachers interacting with all the kids like the daily activities and the daily report naps and curriculum learned. Here`s the bottom line review...My son has a great home but every day I pick him up, he wants to stay will keep him at Open Arms through all of their programs.

My daughter has been attending Open Arms for almost 2 years now and I am so happy with the choice we made back when she was 2 to get her into their facility. The teachers are so sweet, they genuinely care for their students and their growth in education and human interaction skills. My daughter has learned and grown so much while being there, and the added comfort of the cameras being accessible by me during my workday is incomparable. The school is clean, secure, and staffed with the best of the best. The events they put on are always a hit, and the activities they do with the kids are always so cute and educational. Thank you to all the teachers who have been there to help my daughter grow so much!! Jimile the director is quick to answer any questions or concerns, and has been so accommodating to us and our family dynamic. Miss Daisy is the sweetest woman I have ever met, Chelsea, Kari, and seriously every single teacher even those who my daughter has not been in their class knows her and is always so sweet and attentive to the children.

This is a great school. The price is very reasonable, my kids love their teachers and I love that in about 5 clicks of my computer mouse I can watch my little ones while I'm at work!
