Joyful Noise Child Development Center

|

Philosophy: “Over the course of several years, we’ve developed a paradigm that we believe best supports an infrastructure where children can grow and learn. Our educational plan encourages children to be actively involved in the learning process, to experience a variety of activities appropriate to their age and rate of development and to pursue their own interests in the context of life in the community and the world. Through play that is guided by adults, children learn language, concepts about the physical world, social skills, problem solving, motor coordination and self confidence.”

Resources Provided: 
Parents choose developmentally appropriate environments for their children to foster emotional and intellectual development.
