Our Programs

At Loving Arms Children’s Center, teaching your child is something we take very seriously. Children at LACC receive a solid Christian Education with academic excellence in our Preschool program. LACC is one of the only Christian centers in the metro area. Each classroom works to help children learn at their age level and prepare them for the next class.

Two-Year-OldTwo-Year-Old Program: Our Little Helpers work on identifying shapes, colors, pictures, and feelings. They also work on developing both small and large motor skills.
Three-Year-Old Program: In our Noah’s Ark and Shining Stars classrooms, we continue to work on letter sounds, recognition, shapes, colors, patterns, and more! They also work on social skills that involve preliminary problem-solving and creating healthy social-emotional connections.
Four-Year-Old Program: In our Pre-K, Kids for Christ classroom, we continue to practice many of the skills started in the threes. Learning appropriate social skills is a high priority, so the children are prepared for Kindergarten. Our curriculum for this age is based on the Kindergarten Readiness criteria used in Johnston, Des Moines, and Ankeny Public Schools.

“Loving Arms has been a great fit for our family! True to their name, the staff have welcomed us with open arms, and it’s easy to see how much the teachers care. They go out of their way to make our girls feel loved and special. We appreciate seeing our Christian beliefs and morals being encouraged at daycare as well as at home, and we’ve been impressed with the learning we’ve seen taking place as our oldest gets closer to school. Knowing we can trust that our girls are in a safe and nurturing environment is incredibly comforting to us as parents. We are happy to recommend Loving Arms to any family looking for quality childcare!
