Philosophy
At our school, we promote healthy physical, cognitive, and social-emotional growth in children in partnership with parents and the community to strengthen families. We use positive guidance and re-direction to acknowledge children’s feelings and emotions and provide them with social protocols, problem-solving techniques, self-calming activities, and interest based choices and activites.
About our program
Joy & Gladness Children Academy fosters curiosity, creativity, and discovery in a caring, respectful environment. While administrative team teachers stress relationships, teamwork, and respect for all living things, students develop self-confidence, a sense of wonder for the world, a love of discovery, and the ability to solve problems.
