Ms. Courtney
Hello, my name is Courtney. I graduated from FSU in 2006, where I met my husband. We have 3 kids, Kaden, Kaylah, and Caroline, all of whom attended Joyful Noise preschool. We love to take our kids on adventures, and have traveled to some really cool places.
Preschool is a magical time and I love watching the kids learn and grow. It is exciting to see a child master a new skill. I am thankful to work in such a loving environment with wonderful people.

Ms. Mary
Hi, my name is Mary. I was born and raised in Daytona Beach. My husband Eric and I have been blessed with two boys. Our oldest attends the University of Alabama. Our youngest is in middle school.
I started working with children by babysitting and helping out with my mom during Sunday School. It was then I realized this is what I wanted to do! I previously worked at a preschool in Daytona for over 25 years.
Throughout the years I have taken many opportunities to take classes and learn all I can. I have worked with toddlers through elementary. I have enjoyed each age group!
I also teach elementary Sunday School at our church.
I am thankful to be here at Joyful Noise Preschool. Each person here brings something special and we all keep on learning!

Ms. Peggy
Hi! My name is Peggy. I have always loved working with children. Before being in the classroom, I spent many years taking care of children in my home. I enjoy the innocence of this age. I was born and raised in NH. I graduated from the University of New Hampshire in 1994 with a Bachelors degree in Psychology. My husband and I married in 1997 and moved to Florida in 2001, after our first child was born. We have 3 children, Jackson, Elena and Maia. All are involved in their own sports and activities which keeps me very busy. Besides being a mom, some of my favorite things to do are reading, camping with my family and relaxing on the beach. We also love to travel. It is a pleasure to work with all of the wonderful teachers here at Joyful Noise Preschool. Thank you for entrusting us with your precious children!

Ms. Stephanie
Hi, my name is Stephanie.
I am from the Chicago area. We moved here in 2005. We have enjoyed the Florida life. We have three children, David, Sophia and Joe. We stay busy with our children's activities of karate, gymnastics, soccer and baseball. We enjoy traveling to visit family in different states on our time off.
I received my bachelors from Illinois State and after having children I started working in the classroom setting. After starting at Joyful Noise I went back to school to get my CDA. I have worked with children for over 15 years. I enjoy the classroom because it fosters critical thinking, problem solving skills and social development through structured activities, enhanced exposure and active engaged learning. I enjoy being a part of Joyful Noise Christian Preschool.

Hi, my name is Sally. My husband Chuck and I have been married 42 years and have 6 grown children and 11 grandchildren. Five grandchildren live in Florida and six live in Massachusetts. I graduated from University of New Hampshire and have a bachelors degree in Early Childhood Education. I have cared for children in my home for many years along with my children and grandchildren, who now range from 2nd to 8th grade.
I enjoy being in the classroom with the children, talking with them, seeing their enthusiasm, and watching their excitement as they learn, grow and share their thoughts with teachers and friends.
