Joyful Noise Preschool
Our eighth year of preschool began on September 4, 2007. We offer two state-licensed programs which meet September through May. The three year old program meets Tuesday and Thursday from 9:00-11:30. The four and five year olds meet Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday from 12:30-3:00.
Joyful Noise Preschool believes that every child is a precious gift from God. We provide a Christian learning environment to encourage the development of the whole child: spiritually, emotionally, socially, physically, intellectually, and creatively.
Pre-kindergarten skills are nurtured and encouraged through age appropriate projects and activities. These readiness skills help the child develop in the areas of language, math, science, fine and gross motor skills and the arts.
Daily classroom experiences and small class sizes provide opportunities for problem solving, creative thinking, self-expression, critical thinking, group interaction, and personal independence. These experiences give children all the essential learning skills they need to be successful.
