  • I love this daycare! My child has attended this daycare since he was 6 weeks old. He has grown so much since he has started & open arms has become a family to me. They are very attentive & caring & they make sure to keep the families included and updated daily. They are very strict when it comes to pick ups & they ensure to call you first to make sure you made the arrangement even if someone is on the pick up list. I love how they love my kid if i could give them a million stars I would!

  • Open Arms Childcare has been a beacon of hope for this Jeffery Manor neighborhood. Ms.Yolanda has been providing exceptional care and nurturing support for over a decade. From nutritious meals, engaging activities as well as learn & play she makes sure every child experience some sort of growth and development before they leave her care.

  • I absolutely love this daycare! This is year 2 that my kids have been enrolled here and honestly couldn’t have found a better one. My children speech and knowledge of every day things has improved A LOT. They have a set curriculum for the kids weekly and are very professional and strict on rules and expectations from both parent and employees. Being that I am very picky and selective about who my kids are in care of they are doing an outstanding job.

  • Absolutely a wonderful place to be. They make kids feel welcome. If I had children I would definitely enroll them into this place because I see and hear nothing but great things about open arms daycare. It’s good to see the owner and staff giving back to the community and making kids feel comfortable and safe. Most importantly lots of fun and love.

  • I absolutely love this daycare! My children were enrolled in Open Arms for years until they aged out, and even then, I still wanted them to be a part of the family. This was more than just a daycare service to us; this was a place where I felt very comfortable leaving my children because I knew they were in great hands. Ms. Yolanda has years on top of years of experience in the Childcare field, which is why she never hire just any person to work in her establishment. Ms. Yolanda is very meticulous about who she allows to be a part of her team because passion has to be their number one foundation when wanting to work with her and her children. The staff at Open Arms are very well versed in Early Childhood, also resourceful, and were always pleasant during drop-off and pick-up. The curriculum there was another pleasurable part of Open Arms that had me in complete awe. I can go on forever about why Open Arms is TOP TIER, and certainly, one of the best DAYCARE CENTERS ON THE Southside of Chicago! Call in for your tour today!
