Our story

Serving Sacramento families since 1971.

Shiloh Arms began with a simple mission: create a safe place to grow and a great place to learn for every child in Oak Park, Sacramento.

A trusted part of Sacramento's Oak Park community.

For over 50 years, Shiloh Arms Child Development Center has stood as a steady, welcoming place for Sacramento's working families — warm, consistent, and fully committed to every child's growth.

Today, that founding mission lives in every room — from the way teachers greet each child by name to the kindergarten-prep curriculum that prepares Sacramento's children for school and life.
