About Us
The mission of Open Arms Lutheran Child Development Center of Buckhead is to serve Atlanta-area families by providing a high-quality early childhood education that is centered on the truth, goodness and beauty of the Christian faith. The Open Arms staff is ever mindful that parents are the primary educators of their children, and so focus on supporting that teaching role of parents while also nurturing the child and encouraging their growth and development.
It is our vision . . .
- To value each child as a unique and special child of God, encouraging individuality and promoting self-esteem
- To provide a balanced program to meet the total needs of the child to grow spiritually, socially, emotionally, intellectually, and physically
- To value a child’s play experience as an avenue of learning
- To provide a developmentally-appropriate program for all children of any race, creed, nationality, or ethnic origin
- To provide a safe, stimulating, hands-on environment in which children can interact with others and increase in ability and knowledge within a small group experience
- Finally, to nurture the spiritual and professional development of our staff, thereby enriching their lives.
History
