School Philosophy & Day in the Life

School Philosophy and Mission

" \"our philosophy is simple; we want to offer the finest christ-centered child care in west wichita.while creating an atmosphere open to the entire family\".

The mission of Open Arms is to reach out to families with young children.

Play is child's work. We take advantage of this fact and add many facets of early childhood teaching techniques to build a happy and strong foundation. By balancing active time with quite time, teacher directed activities with child selected activities, and structured learning with fun-time, Open Arms will encourage the child's natural curiosity and eagerness to learn about the Lord's creation.
