"Children are a blessing from God. Teaching has always been my passion but teaching them about Jesus will be the greatest opportunity I will ever have. Just seeing their beautiful smiles and being able to smile back and love them is just so rewarding."

Toddler Room Assistant Teacher 

Emily Howard- School Age Teacher

I chose to Work at Joyful Noise Family Center because I am able to serve God and make a difference in the lives of my students. My number one goal is to make sure my students know they are loved by God, as well as everyone at the Center. I also want my students to know they can always lean on God during the ups and downs that they will experience in life. 

I am so excited to learn and grow with my students as this is my first year of teaching. I graduated from Shawnee State University with my Bachelor’s of Science in Primary Education this past April. It has always been a dream of mine to be a teacher, and I am beyond thankful for this opportunity to finally pursue my dream!

"The Joyful Noise Family Center can ensure to keep our client's children safe and loved.  For our babies, being away from Mom and Dad can be hard, but with a Christian background and loving staff I know they will do just fine. We can touch the lives of young children while keeping them safe, having fun, and teaching the word of God."

"I chose to work at Joyful Noise Family Center based on what it stands for. I love playing and helping out with the kids. And along with that, it is also a Christian- based day care! I love to serve God. Especially if It can make a difference in the lives of little children. If one kids comes to know the Lord just because we showed them the love of God, it’s worth all the hard work that comes with caring for the children.”
