About Us

A Place Where Children Are Known, Not Just Watched

Open Arms Childcare was founded on a simple belief: every child deserves a space that feels like home. Located in the heart of Boise, we've been opening our doors to families who want more than daycare — they want a community.

Our small-group approach means your child isn't just a number. Our caregivers learn what makes each little person tick — their favorite books, their biggest dreams, the way they laugh when they figure something out. That attention to the small moments is what turns a good program into something your whole family will cherish.

Why Families Choose Us

More Than Childcare — It's Community

When you drop your child off at Open Arms, you're joining a family that genuinely cares — about their learning, their happiness, and your peace of mind.

Small Groups, Big Hearts

We keep our ratios low so every child gets the attention they deserve. No crowds, no chaos — just caring adults who know your child by name.

Safe & Nurturing Space

Childproofed, clean, and thoughtfully designed for little explorers. Our facility meets every safety standard and then some — because your child's safety is non-negotiable.

Learning Through Play

We follow a play-based curriculum that naturally builds literacy, math, science, and social-emotional skills — because the best learning feels like fun.

Flexible Hours

Full-time, part-time, or occasional — we work around your schedule, not the other way around. Life is busy; childcare shouldn't add to the stress.

Daily Updates for Parents

From meals to milestones, you'll hear about your child's day. We believe in transparent, warm communication with every family we serve.

Nutritious Meals Included

Breakfast, lunch, and snacks — prepared with care and tailored to different dietary needs. Healthy eating starts with good food and happy hands.

"Finding Open Arms was like finding a second home for our daughter. The caregivers remember her favorite songs, ask about her weekend, and genuinely light up when she walks in. We couldn't be more grateful."
