Sheltering Arms is an early-childhood educational-development and daycare center for children from 2 months to 5 years old. Sheltering Arms was founded in 1888 and in 1946 was one of the first childcare programs in the U.S. to be accredited by the Child Welfare League of America. Along with child care, this center focuses on happy home environments by providing classes, information, networking and support services for the parents of children who attend this facility.
