We are so honored to have you visit our site. Thank you for considering making us your child's second home. I really hope we are able to meet your needs for a quality early education experience. I can remember the vision God gave me years ago like it was yesterday. I dreamt of a cozy place that felt like home, with loving, supportive teachers to care for them.
We were there to give children an experience and love them like family. Today, and every day, I hope you feel part of this community we have created. I hope you know we will have a lot of fun together over the years and we will celebrate every new adventure you are on even after your child has moved beyond our school.

Be very careful which credit/debit card you give them for payment. And watch it closely after you stop attending camp. “Rachel” well help herself to the money she is not entitled to. And then she will make up some “contract rules, That is news to you, about a four week notice to quit in a desperate attempt to keep the money.

Some staff members are really great with kids and caring. I can tell that they work really hard and do love their students. But if the director doesn't care then it shows in the quality of the place. And unfortunately, this is the case for this place. I have seen the staff work diligently while also looking worn out and exhausted. Sometimes it is so difficult with so many other children needing attention that my kids sometimes get neglected. Thankfully, my kids are not the needy type. I deeply appreciate them for taking care of my two children. This place also claims to be a "Christian learning

I couldn't be happier with the care my two children have received here. The food program, staff, and curriculum is all top notch, and it truly feels like a family. We are expecting our 3rd child in March, and cannot wait for him to join the Joyful Jungle family. My daughter is currently in the preschool program, and is thriving and LOVES her teachers.

My two daughters love the Joyful Jungle!!!! This is more than child care! The joyful jungle focuses on hands on learning. They always communicate with parents. I know my children will be prepared for school. They utilize high scope curriculum. If you do not know what that is, please look up the Perry Preschool Longitudinal Study. High scope curriculum has been proven to increase high school graduation rates, increase college graduation rates, decrease the chances of children ending up unemployed as adults, and decreases the chances of children having behavioral issues as adults. For every dollar

Our son has been at The Joyful Jungle since he was 8 weeks old. We have loved all of the staff/teachers and have seen tremendous growth in his learning. The teachers take time to meet individualized needs of each child and are always willing to talk with us about daily activities. Our daughter will start attending next month and we so glad that we have a place where we know she will be well taken care of and loved!

The Joyful Jungle has been a great place for my son. Their teachers are well educated on child development and work well on meeting my son where he is at developmentally. They have dealt with his multiple food allergies great, providing food options to cater to his needs. Speaking of food, they offer balanced, organic choices to the kids. They also did not hesitate at using cloth diapers for my son. We have never regretted our choice!

We love the Joyful Jungle! The staff are very attentive to all of the children. They genuinely care about the kids there and help them strive in so many ways. My 5 year old who is now in Kindergarten used to love going there and my two year old is still attending as well. She has learned so much, it's amazing to see her progress every day. This is definitely a place that you can trust to send your little ones too - and it makes it comforting to know that they are so wonderful with them when you are stuck at work all day. Thank you, Joyful Jungle!
