At Loving Arms, we believe that the major developmental task of a young child is to gain trust in those who care for him/her and to develop the knowledge that he/she can affect the surrounding word. Our staff practice respect for the individuality of each child and work as partners with parents - building a trusting relationship through responsive care giving.

The curriculum and daily schedule is balanced between structured and child-initiated opportunities for children to learn in a multi-cultural environment that is filled with age-appropriate equipment and learning materials. The environment is designed around interest areas which provide opportunities for dramatic play, block play, books and literacy activities, music, sensory activities, science activities, large motor play and fine motor skill development. Outside time is provided on a daily basis for all children.

Nutritious Meal Program

We offer nutritious meals and snacks to the children which are served family style. The center provides all baby foods, table foods, snacks and formula in accordance with food program guidelines.
