I do not recommend this center for there pre school program. I started my son this year and was…read morehappy for the first month. The kids were doing learning activities and he was bringing papers home to show. The next month things were slowing down with the activities. He missed so much school because the school aged kids was in need of a place to go so my son did not have class. I still had to pay for that week. He missed 5 snow snow days which I also had to pay for. I paid for the full month and he went 4 days out of the 12 days. What am I paying for? The are not making up snow days. I check with other parents and preschools and they are making up school days. A new month now, he was pushed out of school again because the school aged kids needed a place to go. Now spring break. Still not sure why preschool has a spring break plus they has missed so much school. My son fell outside, scratched his chin and not one person told me about it. My son is not receiving any education to prepare him for kindergarten.

The…read moreday we signed up I asked a few parents waiting to pick their kiddos up how they liked it, all game raving reviews. My granddaughter had been home for the past year due to Covid and really didn't want to go but we convinced her, and I'm so glad we did. The staff was beyond sweet and welcoming, the facility clean and organized, a large variety of creative and educational toys, and lots of indoor space to run jump and play. When I came to pick her up I heard her laughs the moment I opened the door. The staff said she had been having so much fun that she and agreed for me to sneak out and let her play some more. When she did come home she was exhausted, excited, and full of stories to tell. She was up, dressed, breakfast ate, and lunch packed (optional) an hour before we were supposed to leave, and this girl is so very not a morning person! Their prices are awesome, currently $8 per hour or $56 for 7-10 hours, and $4 for lunch if you choose to eat there. It's a drop in facility with extended evenings for those afternoon workers, and you only pay for the hours you are there. I highly recommend checking them out. Your kiddo won't be disappointed.

It was $56 for a day which is very reasonable and the place was nicer than I expected for that rate! The only recommendation is that they should clarify what a day means since I was under the impression it was for 7 hours but it really was a range from 7-10 hours that are included in this price. With that being said, I may have misunderstood but all is good since I almost left work early to get him.

But the director said that we would need infant/toddler services to come in and teach their teachers how to deal with our child. It also appears that some of their staffing has left in the last couple months. We've since had him "screened" and he screened fine. He's a normal boy. This is a good daycare if you want your kid to be a conformist or be sent home everyday. We thought Open Arms would be great for developing, but all it did was make us think our parenting/child had issues.

Now the treehouse was a little bit dirty, but I think it's probably the time of the year and that it was really damp and wet during our visit. There's a place for you to have lunch. There are organized activities in the afternoon, which we did not participate in, but that goes additional things to do in the afternoon if you're there for a long period of time.
