I am in Preschool
I am not built to sit still
Keep my hands to myself,
Take turns,
Be patient,
Stand in line,
Or keep quiet
All of the time,
I need;
Motion,
Novelty,
Adventure, And to
Engage the world with my whole body,
Let me play!
Please trust me I’m learning!
Mission Statement:
The mission of Joyful Learning Christian is to nurture and educate positive qualities in the growing child. We are each a gift from God and with the guidance of our parents, teachers and the Christian Community we will prosper. “The hope of the harvest is in the seed.”
Joyful Learning’s purpose is to provide an atmosphere that encourages social, emotional, physical, spiritual and intellectual growth and development of the child as a whole.
Planned within the framework of our philosophy and purpose, Joyful Learning Pre-school curriculum includes: sharing and conversation time, Bible stories, songs, physical movement to include sportgames, folk dances and coordination building activities. Also, students are exposed to arts and craft, shapes, colors, numbers and letters.

Birthdays: We celebrate birthdays at our designated class snack time. Parents may coordinate with their child’s teacher as to the time. Store purchased treats are the best. Small cupcakes, jello cups, fun fruits act…some ideas. We allow only 10 minutes for birthdays so plan accordingly.
Discipline: We understand that preschool is the time to learn social skills and social skill consequences. We as a staff work hard to teach and to role-play appropriate behavior. If a child is having some difficulty we discuss calmly the issue at hand. Our chain of discipline is:
- Discuss with student/talk about kindness
- Roll Play the situation. Show examples
- Send a note just a FYI very low key
- Call parent if behavior continues.
- Aggressive behavior that continues the parent will be notified.
- Students will be asked to leave the program if aggressive behavior continues and his or her actions requires more attention than the classroom teacher can provide.
- In the event that a student leaves due to discipline tuition will be prorated.’ The school director has the final authority to exit a student that has unruly behavior.
Student withdrawal: If a student is leaving the program threeweeks notice is asked so we may have time to fill the vacancy. Joyful Learning will not issue a refund for the registration fee or tuition. If a student withdraws the last month of school inMaythey will be asked to pay the full months tuition.
