Our preschool opened in 2007 as a ministry of Community Church in DeBary. We offer a quality Christian learning environment for children ages 2 to 5 years old. We also offer free VPK for children who are 4 by September 1st. At Joyful Noise “learning through play” isn’t just something we say; it’s something we do, and we do it every day. We believe a child’s mind is much more receptive to learning when they are a part of the process and when that process is fun. It is why we have a variety of free-choice and teacher-led options built into our curriculum. Through play, we can assess the individual emotional, social, physical and intellectual needs of each student in an environment that is as stimulating as it is natural. Preschool should be a time of fun, warmth, security, exploration and discovery. The children are naturally creative and receptive and our program strives to nurture and encourage these qualities in our students.
Teacher/Student Ratio
Our student/teacher ratios are well below the mandates set by the State of Florida, with two teachers in every classroom. All teachers are First Aide and CPR certified and have undergone full background screenings. Continuing education classes are taken yearly to provide the best learning environment for the children.
Learning About God​
​
As a ministry of Community United Methodist Church, Joyful Noise is a faith-based preschool. We believe preschool is a great time to begin nurturing a relationship with God. Part of our daily routine involves prayer before snack and a bi-weekly chapel time in the sanctuary.

VPK stands for Voluntary Pre-Kindergarten. Your child is eligible if you live in the state of Florida and they will be 4 years of age by September 1. All children must register for a voucher from ELC. The voucher is then brought to the school to register your child. Click HERE for the voucher registration link.
