What parents say

• Lorraine L

  We love this daycare and the staff!! My oldest went here for almost 2 years and still asks to visit. She lights up when she sees her previous teachers! My youngest has been here for a few months and settled in right away. I have never seen her warm up to people so quickly! Miss Anita and all the teachers are truly kind, caring, loving and passionate. They are accommodating to our needs and ready with solutions. Communication is clear and constant via the app, phone calls and in person chats. There is a live video feed as well where we can see how well our kids are being taken care of. Both my children love Miss Jan's food, and we appreciate how clean and organized the kitchen is. The rooms are clean, colourful and full of fun activities for the children. We definitely recommend Open Arms!!

  Both my sons attended Open Arms. They both enjoyed it, loved the staff, food and made great friends there. The owner Anita, was wonderful from the first contact all the way through to graduation. I didn’t have any issues and accommodations or support were always made if needed. The staff there really love kids. I felt my kids were in a safe and fun environment. I would absolutely recommend this daycare for anyone who is looking for one.

  We had a wonderful experience with this preschool. The teachers were always kind, attentive, and communicative. They managed food and nutrition with great care, and were proactive in working with us to support our child's behavior and development. It really felt like a partnership between school and home. We’re very grateful and would highly recommend this place to other families!

• Zoe Chang

  My little one attended Open Arms Daycare. Anita and the teachers were so kind, attentive, responsive and respectful. I was extremely nervous and anxious putting my little one in daycare but Anita and the teachers quickly helped put me at ease. The kids eat delicious freshly cooked meals prepared in-house and they set up different activities for the kids to play and explore each day. I loved our experience at Open Arms and I highly recommend it.

  I don’t even know where to start… we found open arms preschool at the perfect time, and all the teachers instantly became family. Ms Ragheda was pinnacle to our son adapting to a new environment at 30 months old, Miss Zoya quickly became his bestie, and Miss Amanda, Miss Kaitlin, and Miss Yachna provided endless love and support! All with the guidance of Miss Anita, who does an amazing job running a beautiful and loving preschool & nursery! We loved being apart of the Open Arms family so much that even when we moved 40 minutes away, we still stayed to continue our journey together with the teachers who brought so much joy into our lives up until it was graduation and off to kindergarten. We immensely appreciate all of you, and I’m sure I have missed some names. The amount of growth we’ve seen in our son is amazing, through the support and education you have provided, I’ll forever be grateful. We miss you and love you always!! Also, Miss Jan makes the best lunches and snacks!! If you are looking for not just child care; at Open Arms you will find teachers who genuinely love the work they do and know the value, a STEAM curriculum that offers beautiful education, and an environment where the children feel so much love that they in turn pour into each other and become great friends. What a way for a child to start their journey of growth into members of society, the future is bright!❤️
