  • I have nothing but great things to say about this place! My two children attended here for some time and always had fun activities, learned a lot, and received so much love from Ms. Shelly, Ms. Brooke, and Ms Carla!

  • Just a fantastic daycare. Love this place and their staff. My son has thrived here. He knows his letters, numbers etc. He is always so happy to come here. We will miss it when he goes to prek in the fall. Ms.Shelly,Karla,Brooke. Etc. They are all wonderful.

  • My youngest son attended Loving Arms recently and the only reason we left the center was due to a schedule change and me staying home with him the rest of this year. Mrs. Shelly is the epitome of kindness and understanding. When my son would have a tough morning at drop off, she would send me an update to show me he was doing better! This is a small, family centered daycare that is also one of the most affordable. Thank you Mrs. Shelly and staff for the care you provided to my son and I will highly recommend anyone to come here if you need childcare!

  • If y’all are looking for a daycare, you can stop your search right here!! I moved from Texas, having no family and friends. And Mrs. Shelly Went over and beyond to make sure, I felt comfortable leaving my children With her staff. Who which is also awesome. Every time I pick up my kids, my daughter always has a clean diaper on. Both kids are never dirty. And they are always happy. When I drop them off in the mornings, they are both ready to go in the door. I seriously feel, like I’m leaving them with my mom or a close family member. This place goes above and beyond for their students. And they keep us parents well informed. About our children. Or if their is an event, where they can not open. They let us know ahead of time. So we can make arrangements. I will continue to use Loving arms, until my children grow up. This daycare truly Lives up to their name. Loving Arms is a God sent, and I will forever be thankful to this daycare. That has made my move from Texas so much easier. I seriously wouldn’t be able to work if it wasn’t for this amazing daycare ❤️ They are seriously the best!!

  • We love Loving Arms. They have a schedule, and its flexible, in a way that works for everyone (to the best of their ability that is). The staff have a healthy balance between professionalism and that I'm at home feel. The children -not just mine- enjoy going to 'school' to see their teachers and to participate in the structured curriculum of the day. Its not always all about learning all the time either. They have special activities that promote fun, such as Bubble Day for the letter B. Being safe is a big deal to them. Sure waiting at a locked door sucks sometimes but you can see and hear exactly whats going on. They don't want just anyone walking in and cant have any little ones getting out without an adult. Overall, Loving Arms is fantastic. The director has the proper education and years experience to produce such a wonderful establishment. Oh, and the price is realistic.

  • My children are 16,15, 9; They all attended Loving Arms Daycare since they were babies. They each had great experiences and were ready for Kindergarten when completed. Always respectable and friendly staff!!!
