JOYFUL NOISE PRESCHOOL strives to help nurture and develop:

A child who has a positive self-concept.

A child who is curious and wants to learn.

A child who begins to relate effectively to other children and adults.

A child who expresses himself positively and in many ways.

A child who uses language to communicate his thoughts, ideas and feelings.

A child who expands his concept about the world.

A child who knows God, and His gift of love.

 

There will be many opportunities for the development of both fine motor and gross motor skills.  At no time will a child be forced to go beyond his or her developmental level.  We feel that development of these skills will lead to more self-confidence in future learning. 

 

SCHOOL HOURS

The preschool class meets Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday from 9:00 a.m. – 11:30 a.m.  There is before and after school care available through Joyful Noise Day Care.  If you are interested in the Day Care you must enroll in that program separately.  Please be prompt in delivering and picking up your child out of courtesy to the teacher.  (If your child arrives early or stays after preschool, you will be charged by the day care for that time.

 

 

 

DROP-OFF AND PICK-UP

The classroom door will remain closed until 9:00 a.m. at which time the door will open.  Children are to wait until the door opens at 9:00 to enter classroom.  If your child needs to be dropped off before 9:00 you need to make arrangements with the daycare providers.

 

The teacher will begin releasing students between 11:15 a.m. and 11:30 a.m. as she sees their parents arrive.  Students are to remain seated until their name is called.  Please wait outside the door until your child is released.

The annual tuition is $720.00 for school September through May.  This may be paid in monthly installments of $80.00; payable on the 1^st of each month.  A $20.00 registration fee is charged annually, which is in addition to the tuition.  Make checks payable to Joyful Noise Preschool.  A late fee of $10.00 will be charged after the 15^th of the month.  Other payment schedules can be arranged.

 

SHARING

We encourage books, science objects, stuffed animals, etc.  We try to discourage guns, pointed objects or war toys.

 

SNACKS

We ask parents to contribute snacks for their child’s class on a rotating basis.  The preschool will provide napkins and cups.  When sending snacks, please avoid foods that contain a great deal of sugar, artificial colorings or additives.

 

HEALTH

Sick children should be kept home to discourage the spread of germs to classmates and teachers.  Please keep your child home if he or she

exhibits the following symptoms: fever, undiagnosed rash, profuse nasal discharge, heavy coughing, vomiting or diarrhea.
