It is the purpose of the Joy In Learning Child Care Centers to enhance the total growth and development of each
child through the general and specific techniques of enrichment designed to:
1. Promote physical adeptness (i.e., running, climbing, balancing).
2. Encourage emotional development (i.e., expressiveness, self sufficiency, acceptance, positive discipline).
3. Enhance social competence (i.e., consideration for others, cooperation, relating to adults as well as
peers.)
4. Provide opportunities for cognitive learning (i.e., ideas, words, colors, numbers, problem-solving)
The objectives of the Joy In Learning Child Care Centers are to:
1. Demonstrate, through example, opportunity and informal
conversation the Joy inherent In all Learning.
2. Provide an atmosphere of respect and caring for young children and each other. The ultimate goal is to
enhance the child’s self esteem while facilitating his or her potential for optimal personal development.
3. Schedule a balanced day of activity, rest, nourishment, and creative involvement.
4. Supply materials and equipment conducive to learning about self, family, community, environment, math
and science, music and art, literature, and architecture.
At Joy In Learning, we believe that our centers will serve as a basic support for the family. Our role is to enhance
and expand the parent’s relationship with the child through a program rich in tolerance, encouragement, and
acceptance.
Founded in 1984, Joy In Learning has been providing high quality childcare for over 40 years. Joy In Learning is under new ownership as of February 2025, but still has the same goals and objectives.
