T
hank you for enrolling your child in a Joy School-based preschool program!
The more that you reinforce the concepts and principles that your child learned at Joy School at home, the more your child will get out of their Joy School experience.
*** We suggest you bookmark this page so that you can easily access these materials whenever you wish.
Parent Introductions
We strongly recommend that you read over the Parent Introduction to each “Joy” whenever your preschool transitions to a new unit. You’ll see that some parts of these introductions are geared towards those actually teaching Joy School – feel free to skim those parts.
The first section of each introduction will likely be of most interest to you (it’ll only take you about 5 minutes to read over each introduction and it’ll make a world of difference in how connected you feel to your child’s preschool experience).
The Parent Introductions for each Joy/Unit are laid out below.
Joy School Music
Listening to the songs for each unit frequently at home and in the car will greatly enhance your child’s Joy School experience. The songs will help your child really internalize and remember what they are learning at Joy School (plus many of the songs can really help encourage positive behavior in your home! It’s amazing how well children respond when you start singing “Order, Order, put your things away!” or “When a thing is hard to do, I don’t sit and try, I just make a happy face and try, try, try…”).
The songs may sound pretty slow and basic to you, but their speed and simplicity are exactly what works for preschool age children.
