| 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.
We are open Monday through Friday from 6:30am-6:30pm. |

Our Center is staffed by experienced and loving teachers. All of our lead teachers have a bachelor’s degree in early childhood or elementary education. Our classroom assistants have experience in a child care setting and/or they have also taken some early childhood coursework. All staff members are certified in CPR and
First Aide.
Our teachers care about your child and family. We promote positive family relations and we have several family events throughout the school year to help foster those relationships. We see our service to your family as a calling!
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. Activities are planned around age-appropriate objectives and units. In addition to the daily classroom routine, planned by both the teacher and the children, our curriculum also includes art, music, foreign language, creative movement and Jesus time. |

| Appropriate meals and snacks are served to your child throughout the day to promote optimal health and development. Open Arms uses a local catering firm dedicated to the specific dietary and nutritional needs of children. Click here to view a sample menu. |
