We toured many different centers in Iowa City and this is the only one we had zero reservations about. It's friendly, clean environment and very caring staff stood above all the rest. We were very impressed with the director, a kind man who clearly enjoys children, and all the teachers. The ratios are fantastic and the rooms are colorful and inviting. My son went there for two years and we cherished every minute. This is a great center.

My husband and I have been extremely impressed with the care that our son receives at Open Arms. It is obvious that all of the employees truly love working with children and it sets our minds at ease knowing that he will be well loved during his time there.

My children have gone to his facility since they were infants. I have always found the staff to be responsive to any concerns or issues with the children. The kids have always enjoyed going. The teachers create a positive environment for the kids and they have learned a lot. My daughter will start kindergarten this fall and she is well prepared. I would highly recommend this center. The staff and other families have made this a great place for my kids.

My son has attended Open Arms since 12 weeks and the staff is extremely caring and fun. They are positive, friendly and warm. My son has loved every one of his teachers. There is a good balance of full-timers with experience as parents and/or childcare and students. There is a great diversity among staff. The center is extremely accommodating for working parents (ie the stay open despite the school district closures, university holidays etc.) and are accommodating to parents' wishes for the care they wish their children to receive and in handling "issues". My son is happy going there and has learned far more than I ever imagined.
