About
My philosophy at Open Arms Child Care is that learning is ongoing. Learning occurs every minute of the day with planned and unplanned activities. Open Arms curriculum is designed to be developmentally appropriate from infancy through school age. Open Arms encourage social, emotional, cognitive, and physical development every day. My program focuses on play and free choice for each child along with teacher directed activities and monthly theme units. I strive for a safe and nurturing environment for children to play and grow.
Open Arms is open from 7:15 am to 5:45pm.
I offer breakfast, lunch, and afternoon snack.
I use the app BrightWheel to provide daily information, for children in all day care.
Open Arms provides a preschool program from September through May for children at no additional cost to you.
o I have created a curriculum based on developmentally appropriate practices.
o Some of the activities include arts & crafts, music, math, science, stories, games, as well as letter, shape, color, and number recognition in a monthly theme format.
Open Arms also provides fun activities during the summer months like crafts, water play, and spirit days.
I offer 1 free date night 4 times a year, for children currently enrolled in my program

We are so thankful to have found Lisa and Open Arms Child Care. Lisa is extremely organized and cares for each one of the kids like they are her own. Our son was previously at a daycare and he would get so upset every time I dropped him off. Now, he LOVES going to school and playing with his friends and Miss Lisa. She keeps them busy throughout the day and I know our son is learning so much! It’s amazing to watch him blossom! It is difficult to... more

We are absolutely in love with Open Arms Childcare. Lisa is extremely professional, a wonderful teacher, and loves the children. I know my daughter is learning and thriving every day. Lisa plans quality educational activities while also balancing lots of time for the kids to play and explore on their own.

To Whom It May Concern,
I am more than proud to recommend Lisa Feldman of Open Arms DayCare. We've been with Lisa for 2 years and my child has blossomed completely under her care. Lisa has taken an active role in enhancing all of the children's education in her care as well as making sure that they get plenty of outdoor time.
When my child started with Lisa in 2019, she was nonverbal only saying a couple of words, I feel strongly that... more

We have now sent both of our sons to Lisa! And I have teased that I should have had more kids so we could continue to use Lisa for our provider once both boys go to K!
Carson loves going to “school” everyday. He enjoys learning new things and playing with his friends. he trust Lisa and you can see how much he loves to learn because of that. He calls Lisa and her family his “best friends” when we talk about them at home.
From colors, numbers,... more

Our family got so lucky when we found Open Arms Child Care. I was a stay at home mom for 3 years, searched for a daycare provider and as you can imagine very picky to whom we would choose. Lisa set up a meet so we could check things out for ourselves and feel comfortable. Right away we knew this is where our little girl would go. We love how not only does she teach but has so many activities for the kids to keep them busy throughout the day. The... more

My son is only at the daycare one day a week for half a day but he truly enjoys his time there! He always looks forward to it. Lisa always has something fun planned for the kids and works hard to make lesson plans and provide food for the kids. The environment is pleasant and inviting and you feel like you are leaving your child in a safe place. The backyard has a wonderful playground and is guaranteed to give the kids plenty of outdoor fun and... more

We fell in love with Lisa and her daycare from day one. Here we are almost a year later and still feel the same way. The growth I have seen in my son over this year is out of this world. How involved she is with the kids is beyond anyone's expectations. I never once have had a concer for my son's safety or well being. I highly recommend her daycare to anyone I come across.

She provides a safe, play based program with educational goals in mind. She creates a personal relationship with each child and their parents. We... more

There are so many amazing things about Open Arms. We started in June 2016 and have been very pleased with the care that our son has received. He has a lot of fun with all of his friends and his teacher, Mrs. Lisa! When we started daycare, he was not very talkative, and within a few weeks, he was saying new words every few weeks, and now it is just about every day. I am so grateful for all that he has learned and fun he has had.
