Christ-Centered Values
The Christian message of God’s grace, love, and forgiveness is the foundation of all learning at Open Arms. The PMO program at Open Arms encourages children to grow in all developmental areas while experiencing God’s love. On a daily basis there is a Bible lesson, carried out through music & movement, language development, motor skills activities, creative arts, social/emotional development, sensory exploration, and outdoor play. The children also attend chapel every Wednesday with the pastor and every Friday the children participate in devotions at the center. Most importantly, the teachers at Open Arms incorporate Christ’s love into their lesson plans and demonstrate His love throughout each and every day.

In the PMO program each child’s developmental growth and development are assessed on an ongoing basis. Each child has an Individual Child Profile which consists of anecdotal notes, observations, and work samplings. Report cards are completed for each child twice yearly. The teachers use the information collected in the Child Profile to individualize instruction so that the growth of each child is maximized.
