Philosophy & Curriculum

Philosophy

We believe that each child is a precious gift from God. Each child will be cared for in a warm, loving Christian environment, where he or she will be nurtured and protected by a qualified staff.

Joyful Noise Preschool provides a foundation in the Christian faith, which is shared through Bible stories, weekly chapel, and song.  We provide a wide range of materials to enable all children to work at their own pace and to enjoy the learning experience.  Using EEC-endorsed Teaching Strategies Gold, we provide parents with a snapshot of their child’s progress and a portfolio for kindergarten.

Curriculum

Children make sense of the world through exploration, and usually learn best by doing. Recognizing this, our curriculum is an active and playful one which facilitates growth in all developmental areas: social, emotional, cognitive, physical, and spiritual. We at Joyful Noise are happy to help your child build the foundations for a lifetime of learning in an atmosphere of kindness, patience, and love.

Our maximum teacher to child ratio in both the 4 year-old and 3 year-old programs are 13 children to 2 teachers/aids. Pre-math and reading concepts are reinforced through hands-on activities such as games, songs, movement, and finger-plays. We also offer several off-site and in-house field trips throughout the year, which include:

  • Capron Park Zoo
  • Mother´s Day Tea
  • Christmas Celebration
  • Family Day
  • Thanksgiving Baskets
  • Gingerbread-House Making
