Hi, my name is Denise Mooney and I love Joyful Noise Preschool for many reasons.  After 10 years of homeschooling 3 of my 6 children I was interested in a preschool for my very bright 3 year old.  Knowing the school and the lead teacher, Velma Van Dyke, I was sure this was the right place for my daughter.  The school provided a balance of self-directed play and the opportunity to explore and develop skills still emerging.  Consistency and a routine of physical , creativity, language and social development have proven to bring the best out in my daughter Deborah.  Soon Lily would join the 3/4 class as Deborah moved up into the 4/5 program.  Lily was very shy but soon shined too.
   In 2006 I had the opportunity to work with Velma in JNP's 4/5 program.  My youngest, Delana, entered the 3/4 program and the 4/5 program.  I so much enjoyed working with the children in a well rounded program I am today volunteering in the 3/4 and 4/5 program.  I am learning so much and having fun at the same time.  I never knew work could be this fun!
   I was encouraged to look into getting credits so I have enrolled in a self-instructed course for early childhood professionals and have earned 6.2 Childhood Education Units. I am continuing to earn more credits but also getting the hands-on and training from one of the best teachers in the area, Velma Van Dyke, is truly a great opportunity.
   I am looking forward to spending many years here at Joyful Noise Preschool.

Our daughter attended Joyful Noise for 6+ years.  She consistently received support and encouragement from the kind, thoughtful staff.  We are eternally grateful for the compassionate care she received at Joyful Noise.  Everyone
encouraged her independence and offered gentle guidance as she matured.  We always felt at ease when we dropped her off each day, knowing she was in a safe, nurturing environment with a caring, knowledgeable staff.
