What Parents are Saying
Parents contact us on occasion to tell us about their — and their children's — experiences with Open Arms. Below are excerpts from a few of the letters we have received.
"Kevin and I want to extend our thanks for the incredible job you do with William and all the children. We have been very happy with the care you have provided in the past year."
"During this year, we witnessed Will's growth from a 'don't-leave-me' leg-clutcher into an independent, 'let-go-of-me' trailblazer. We dropped Will off each day knowing that he was in terrific hands. . . . Our experience with Open Arms shed any doubts we once had about whether our child could thrive in a daycare environment. Thank you for taking such wonderful care of Will."
"I am truly blessed to have my son at a center that has the kind of leadership exhibited by Ms. Tillman."
"Ms. Tillman,
As a parent of two children who attend Open Arms daycare and after
school program, I am very appreciative of you and the staff for
providing a safe and nurturing environment for all of the children...it
is a comforting feeling knowing your children are being cared for at a
facility that surpasses your expectations. Thank you for continuing to
provide outstanding care that continues to meet the needs of both
children and parents.
"January 21, 2010
I am a single mother of three. Times are hard now a days and I would
like to thank and commend the staff, the ones who I have personally
worked with and the ones I see passing by.
Their patients not only to the children but also to the parents of those
children are outstanding. The staff works well with you if you have a
difficult situation, which we all come across one way or another, single
or not, it happens and they are there to fill in that empty void and
assist you with putting together the pieces. 'Just make sure you speak
up because communication is priority and as a single mother I respect
that.'
Yes, at 5 years old my daughter is stuck in her ways, but her teachers
are patient and they never allow her to give up and because of that she
has grown and developed into a very intelligent and smart young lady,
who thinks now before she does and again thank you for keeping my baby
safe and teaching her the importance of developing all aspects of the
start of her young, precious life."
"Open Arms is a genuinely caring, nurturing and safe environment. The staff and teachers are dedicated to providing a fun, yet structured learning environment. Open Arms does an excellent job of balancing Christian Values and Pre-K academic preparedness. As the parent of a 2 year old, I am very happy with my son's growth and development and have no doubt that he will be more than prepared for kindergarten in a few short years. Open Arms is more than just a daycare center...it is a loving and safe environment where the best interest of the children is the first priority!
Sincerely,
"Dear Open Arms,
I think I am speaking for the majority of the parents when I
say 'Thank you!' To Ms. Tillman and all the Open Arms Staff. We
appreciate all your hard work and efforts in caring for our children.
We can tell by the atmosphere at Open Arms that this is a Christ
Centered day care. No place is perfect and no one is always perfect but
I appreciate that everyone seems to be doing their best. I also
appreciate that Ms. Tillman is always willing to listen when there is a
problem or concern and immediately try to come up with a solution. I
appreciate the Pastors and the church staff and see how they are praying
and involved with the center and kids. We have been at Open Arms since
it opened and are pleased, that is why we are still here.
Keep up the good work and again we thank you all.
Proud to be a parent at Open Arms!"
