What We Do
A Little Something For Everyone
Our classrooms are designed and supplied with everything necessary to provide a stimulating, nurturing environment for our students based on the developmental needs of the children and and to foster growth through opportunities for exploration.
One Year Olds
Toddlers are attempting to assert some independence. Toddlers may enjoy playing alone for short periods of time and may try to do some things with little or no help. As they begin exploring the environment independently and with purpose, young toddlers show more interest in objects. They imitate others and recreate familiar events with objects and toys.
Two Year Olds
Two-year-olds will play beside other children and at times will interact with them. They will look to the preferred adult when interactions become difficult. They try out new behaviors to learn acceptable limits. Two-year-olds use familiar materials in flexible and inventive ways. They show excitement about new discoveries that emerge as they play with familiar materials and explore new toys and materials. They enjoy imitating familiar roles, characters and animals during play.
Three Year Olds
Three-year-olds are becoming more able to focus and attend to activities for increasing periods. They may attend and participate in a group activity for a brief period before losing interest and moving on to a new activity. Play provides opportunities for 3-year-olds to learn about their world and the materials around them. Sometimes they use materials as they are intended, such as using a spoon to eat applesauce, and sometimes they create new ways to use them, such as using a spoon as a microphone.
Four and Five Year Olds
Four-year-olds come to school with an emerging sense of self and an increasing awareness of their personal characteristics and preferences. Most 4-year-olds readily participate in classroom activities. They are also eager to make choices, explore the classroom environment and relate to others appropriately. Four-year-old children demonstrate an increasing ability to set goals and develop plans to reach their goals. They begin organizing their actions and materials into steps toward accomplishing a task and follow through with their plans by making choices independently. After completing their task, they are able to reflect on what worked and what did not. Four year-olds’ everyday experiences help them learn skills for planning activities and looking back at what has happened in the past. Cooperative play experiences provide opportunities for children to plan together and reflect.
Voluntary PreKindergarten
Florida was one of the first states in the country to offer free prekindergarten for all 4-year-olds regardless of family income. The Voluntary Prekindergarten Education Program — or VPK – prepares early learners for success in kindergarten and beyond. VPK helps build a strong foundation for school using educational material corresponding to various stages in a child’s development.
To be eligible, children must live in Florida and be 4 years old on or before Sept. 1 of the current school year. Parents whose children are born between Feb. 2 and Sept. 1 can postpone enrolling their 4-year-old until the following year when their child is 5. Parents can choose from different educational settings and various program options. Private child care centers, public schools and specialized instructional services providers offer VPK.
Private Kindergarten / First Grade
Joyful Noise offers a private kindergarten and first grade. This is a combined classroom. Younger students benefit from learning with their slightly older peers. Our smaller class size allows for more one on one teaching in a Christian environment. Before/After Care during the school year is included in your weekly tuition.
Before & After Care
We offer Before/After Care for Deep Creek and Kingsway Elementary schools. We provide breakfast before dropping them off at school with our bus. We offer snack after the children are picked up in the afternoons. Staff happily help children with their homework before they are given a variety of play opportunities to help decompress from their busy school day.
Summer Camp
We offer a weekly summer camp to all children in grades K-5. Summer camp offers daily projects, games, and learning opportunities. Campers enjoy several filed trips throughout the summer to the movies, bowling, splash pads and more. We limit the size of summer camp to a total of 50 children.
