Open Arms Christian Child Development Center

Today our beginning preschool and our school age summer camp went on scavenger hunts. They were excited to find the treasure at the end of their hunt!

Our teachers have the freedom to choose themes that fit their classes and are fun and engaging. This week is a good example of having multiple themes at the same time. Our Prek is learning about dinosaurs, our intermediate preschool is learning about fairy tales, and our beginning preschool and toddlers are learning about pirates! www.openarms-ccdc.org

Our Camp GLOW campers took a field trip to Escape Room Ashburn today. They had a blast trying to "escape". Escape Room Ashburn
