LAKC is heavily focused on providing a curriculum that is centered around social emotional wellbeing. During the first five years of life, a child’s brain does 90% of its growing. This is a crucial time for growth and we are committed to training our staff to feel equipped to help children navigate these very important foundational years.

Our classrooms provide experiences with sensory activities, fine motor practice, large motor opportunities, art, plenty of outdoor time, literacy and age appropriate math, science, and STEAM activities.

Children who benefit from specific special needs support or positive behavior intervention are met with a positive, supportive environment that is focused on connection building.

Testimonials

“Loving Arms Early Learning Center is a great daycare! My 3 year old has been there about a year and a half and has just blossomed under the guidance of the teaching staff. She routinely comes home spouting about beluga whales or my personal favorite “cumulonimbus clouds”. The curriculum is engaging and she’ll be more than ready for kindergarten when the time comes. The Director is great and puts the kids and staff first. She is routinely seen in the classrooms or has lunch with the kids all the time. I highly recommend it!”

-Brandon Johnson

“The Rainbow Room (4 year-olds) currently has 9 kids in it that have been together at Loving Arms for over 3 years now. My son is fortunate enough to go to a daycare in which he has been able to form long-term friendships with his classmates, learning and developing from 18 months (and younger) all the way to preparing for kindergarten.”

-Risa Dotson Eicke

“My family has attended Loving Arms since April 2016. The teachers create such a friendly family oriented environment where all children feel welcome to learn and enjoy their friends throughout the day during open play and learning activities. The staff are very friendly and always available to answer questions or help out with whatever is needed. ” – Will Urion

Our center offers large indoor and outdoor spaces for our children to play and learn.

This space is graciously offered by St. Mark’s Methodist Church with whom we maintain a close working relationship, however we are independent of their religious practices.

Tip

Tipping is a long tradition in the US and an integral part of the American way of life. Often the service charge is not included in the restaurant bill, but waiters and bartenders expect to receive 15 to 20 percent of it, depending on the class of the establishment. When using a taxi, a tip of 10 to 15 percent of the cost is considered normal.
