Open Arms is the greatest place to have your children. I can't believe how amazing this place is. My 3 year old has been here for almost a year and honestly it keeps getting better and better! The children's needs aren't just met, they are loved and cared for as if they are the child of each teacher and staff member. My son has grown so much and learns so much everyday. The teachers have been beyond anything I could hope for. Ms. Adrianna helped my son transition from a different school with lots of name recognition, but didn't provide the quality care we were looking for. She made him feels so special and loved in every way, but it definitely wasn't unique to him. Then Ms. summer and ms Kelly just blow our minds with what they do in their classroom. Ms summer potty trained my son and has so many structured activities every day that help him thrive. And lastly, the director ms kisha is full of light and love and radiates joy. She is accepting, kind and really creates such an amazing environment. Their summer camp for my rising 1st grader has been a dream as well. More activities than anywhere I've ever had my kids. And my 6 yr old is on the spectrum and they have been so loving and given him the best experience. Honestly, I could say something amazing about every staff I've met. This is so much more than a school or daycare, you feel like family. I could not recommend somewhere more!

Open Arms is truly the best daycare for so many reasons! The workers truly LOVE on your child, they have excellent protocols, detailed and caring administrative staff, VERY CLEAN, and their hours are the best. I reviewed and toured many daycares, and I immediately felt the difference at Open Arms. I felt like I was like our baby girl with family, rather than an outside caretaker. They are the best kept secret in Alpharetta, and I few extremely blessed to be so close to this facility. Ms. Eugenia, Maria, Betty, Adriana, Laura, Melody, and Ms. Barbara are all SO kind, thorough, and wonderful. I love this daycare so much, and can’t imagine our baby being elsewhere.

We absolutely love Open Arms! Our two children have been going here for a few years and we have had the best experience with the loving staff! Teachers have so much tenure, which speaks volumes for the school. Our kids look forward to going every day! They have lots of fun, and also learn so much! We have done both private PreK and GA PreK and I feel like our Daughter was so ready for Kindergarten. I'm not sure if they will keep this ongoing over the years, but they even responded quickly to the need and added a Kindergarten class due to Covid. It has been such a blessing! Their Summer camps are awesome too! They put so much thought and effort into coming up with creating and fun plans/activities/field trips/etc. They also have aftercare where they pick up elementary school kids, which is such a great service! I highly recommend this place!!!

Both of my children attended Open Arms. My son is on the autism scale and they were very supportive of his needs. When the school system dropped him off at the wrong daycare on the first day of school Open Arms not only let me know he did not arrive as he should have they called around the area and found him and picked him up. They love all the children in their care. I was very happy with my children's care while they were there.

If your child has a special need please don't bother to take them here. The Director didn't even look my son's paperwork to even know he had special needs, even with me telling her. This is supposed to be a safe place to bring your kids because it's in a church, but unfortunately it's still wasn't the best choice. The director waited to things got worse with my son instead of calling me so I could talk to my son before things got out of hand. The director called me stating - Your son can't come here anymore. All because she didn't look in his paperwork to see how to help him. He has a special need and she knew that before he even came to the daycare because she wrote it on sticky note how much I would pay instead of worrying about what he's diagnosis. My son was only there for a week she didn't even give him a chance. Please again if your child has a special need this is NOT the daycare to bring your child(ren)too! It's very sad because the daycare is in a church you would think the staff would have a heart. God Bless each and everyone that works in Open Arms. Also, I asked the director for the owners number, she didn't even give me the number. I hope the ower is reading these reviews.

All 3 of my children have had the privilege of being loved by the staff of Open Arms. They have been nurtured socially, academically, but most importantly spiritually. Wednesday chapel is always a highlight of their week!!

If you are looking for a safe, clean, friendly, and loving preschool you have found it. The staff is attentive to their students needs and truly love taking care of and teaching their kids. Class sizes are small, so your child will always have the attention he or she needs to thrive, learn and grow.

Divorced parents that didn't enroll the child into their school are not treated fairly and with respect. Your looked upon as a threat and treated as so. They also lie about not teaching a religious curriculum during the times 8-2 Monday- Friday for Pre-K. The children are constantly bombarded with religious talk by any and all teachers. Can we just have the children learn their ABC's, take naps and color instead of Jesus talk 24/7? I get it... It's a Christian school but they have guidelines to follow by the state.

I love this school at The first second when I stepped in. The environment is nice and clean, the playground is huge, the staff and teachers are nice and caring, and the tuition is competitive. My daughter used to have severe separation issue and had been to two schools before we went to open arms, but she just cried for 3 days in this school and she was fine and love this school now.Everyday I enjoy she shareing her school life with me and feel her progress. Miss Alba is so kind and caring. I am so grateful I can meet her and enroll in this lovely school.

I had a bad experience at a Montessori school so decided to move my 2 year old daughter to Open Arms after many recommendations! I loved it, she loves it as adapted so well... my daughter is speech delay and both teachers she had were patient and kind and she evolved so much...Really happy

I really wanted to like this school. But, I have a very disappointing experience. I was hoping to get my 4 year old into the pre K program and my two year old into the toddler room. I’m glad I did not enroll my two year old ahead of time. Total waste of time and energy. - they misplaced my information yet they were telling me for over two months that they would call me back, and never did. When I finally call back and ask then to confirm my contact information to make sure they had it correctly the lady told me they didn’t find it and It was probably shredded after the initial contact which never happen from their side!
