Joyful Noise four-year-olds build a tower with 20 blocks to represent the center’s service milestone!
Joyful Noise is Celebrating our 20th Year of Service!
The Oxford Dictionary defines the word “score” as twenty years. Said to have originated from a shepherd counting sheep—one through twenty—a notch would be made in shepherd' stick so that a shepherd could safely lead the flock.
As Joyful Noise enters its twentieth year of service, that term couldn’t be more appropriate. The center has been happy to shepherd little lambs from the earliest moments of their lives through the days of preschool wonderment and joy. From learning to crawl to writing letters, the preschool and daycare has fostered growth in young students and enjoyed watching them grow while they create wonderful bonds with their fellow classmates.
Joyful Noise’s impact isn’t just limited to the students who come and go each day in our building; our outreach to community youth through events and service benefits many young children who might never attend our program. Members of the community smile when they see us coming down the sidewalk with our knotted ropes each day and our childcare center is well-known throughout the area as a hub for laughter, early childhood support, and lifelong family memories.
We would like to thank all of our parents, First Presbyterian Church of Grand Haven for their continued support, and, of course, the amazing children that make our rewarding job possible and so very necessary. We look forward to twenty more years of leading our little lambs to successful learning and joyful play.
