  The Joyful Noise Philosophy
 
Our goal is to meet the early spiritual, social, physical and intellectual needs of children.  Make a Joyful Noise Preschool is a Christian based learning center designed for three through five year old children. We strive to provide a safe, nurturing, child centered environment.  Children learn best through example and discovery.  We use stories, games, music, dramatics, art and structured play to build an early development foundation.  Activities will be designed around the children's ages and maturity levels.  Specific skill areas addressed at the school will include:
  • Christian Education
  • Fine and gross motor activities
  • Social skills
  • Language development
  • Pre-reading skills
  • Pre-math skills
  • Scientific discovery
  • Music and movement
  • Dramatic and visual arts


Joyful Noise Classes
Our 3 and 4 year old program is designed for children who turn 3 by September 1. These classes will meet two times a week for 2 hours and 15 minutes. 

Goals for our 3 & 4 year old class include large motor skills, small motor skills, self-help skills, language development, cognitive development and social-personal skills.  These goals are addressed through exploration of centers, circle time, story time, arts and crafts, small group play, and large muscle play time.

Our Pre-K program is designed for children who are 4 and a half by September 1.  This class meets 3 days a week for 2 hrs and 45 minutes.

The goals for these classes include large motor skills, small motor skills, self-help skills, language development, cognitive development, social-personal skills, and kindergarten-readiness skills. We will address these areas as we explore learning centers, circle time, Art, Science, small group/ large group play  and more.

Christian Education

Make a Joyful Noise Preschool will include Bible Stories and Christian music in it's curriculum.  We will offer prayers at snack time, etc.  We will be teaching about the wonders of God's creations, and about Jesus, God's son.

We may have Cornerstone Christian's pastor, (Dave Kleinfeldt) and other church members be guest “Chapel” Story tellers. 

Music and children's literature

Music will be integrated into the preschool's curriculum throughout the day.  We'll sing, listen to music, make our own music, and move to music.   Children's Literature holds a special place in the director's heart so we will be sharing many stories with the children and then expand their messages with art and other activities.  We will also be offering you opportunities to order books through the Scholastic Book Clubs.
