Joy Tots & Pre-Kindergarten: Growing Together

At Joy to the World, we understand that every child’s journey is unique. That’s why our Joy Tots and Pre-Kindergarten classes are flexible, combining the two groups when beneficial and separating them when needed. This dynamic approach ensures that your child receives the right balance of group interaction and age-appropriate activities, guided by our teachers' careful assessments.

Fostering Independence and Preparing for the Next Steps

For our youngest learners, it’s all about discovering their independence. Through fun, hands-on activities, your child will start learning how to do things on their own, without relying on parents, teachers, or friends. As they grow, they’ll also begin to understand the importance of others around them, such as learning to share, ask for permission, and recognize others’ needs—critical skills as they prepare for Kindergarten.

A Natural Approach to Language

In our fully English-immersion environment, your child won’t just learn English; they’ll experience it naturally as part of their daily world. We don’t focus on teaching English as a subject—instead, we use it as the language of exploration and play. By hearing and using English every day, alongside their native language, your child will build a mental model of the world that includes both languages effortlessly.
