Open Arms enrolls children on a Full-Time basis.  (The only exception is for our VPK only program) 

 

Our programs run from 7:00 am to 5:30 pm. VPK only is from 8:30-11:30

 

Each classroom is staffed by a lead teacher and assistant teachers as required by the Florida statutes.

Honey Bears (VPK/4's)

Teacher: Ms. Chrystal - 17 years at Open Arms

The VPK classroom is designed to prepare children for kindergarten. Emphasis is placed on writing skills, pre-reading skills, name and letter recognition, and continued development of social, emotional, fine, and gross motor skills

Catepillars (3 year olds)

Teacher: Ms. Tiffany - 10 years at Open Arms

In the Caterpillar Room, we focus on developing fine motor skills, such as writing letters and recognizing letter sounds. Social and emotional development continues with a focus on relationship-building and classroom cooperation.

Hippos (2 Year Olds)

Teacher: Ms. Martha - 4 years at Open Arms

This classroom emphasizes social and emotional growth, as well as large gross motor skills such as running, jumping, and skipping. Children are guided in taking turns, expressing emotions, and forming friendships with both staff and peers. Verbal development is tailored to each child’s stage.

Jungle Monkeys (18mo-2yrs)

Teacher: Ms. Marielys- 2 years at Open Arms

In this room, children work on enhancing both physical and fine motor skills. Social and emotional development is also a focus, including learning to share, regulate emotions, and build early friendships. Verbal development is supported at each child’s individual level.

Wise Owls (12-18 Months)

This classroom encourages the development of gross motor skills to support walking and balance. We also help children build early verbal communication through songs, simple words, and daily interactions.

Kozy Koalas (Infant Room)

In the Infant Room, our focus is on building strong, trusting, and loving relationships with both the children and their families. We support the development of physical and gross motor skills through activities such as tummy time, rolling over, and sitting up.
