Our Mission
A Joyful Noise Childcare Center is committed to providing quality childcare consistent with Christian values. Our center is a second home for everyone who enters our door. We strive to meet the spiritual, physical, cognitive, social, and emotional growth of each child and family in a caring and supportive environment.
Our Vision
Our vision is to assist parents in our community who work outside their homes and/or pursue other goals, by providing quality, safe and affordable care for children in a learning and developmentally appropriate environment.
We Provide The Highest Quality of Care By:
1. Providing children many and varied opportunities to learn through exploration and play in an environment that is stimulating and challenging through both child-directed, and teacher directed activities.
2. Supporting an environment with an equal balance of social, emotional, and intellectual support.
3. Ensuring that our staff is educated, experienced, and supported.
4. Yearly continuing education for our teachers.
5. Constant assessment of our program allowing us to identify areas where we can improve based on the results.
6. Create a strong sense of community by collaborating with other childcare centers in the area, building relationships with local schools and strengthening the relationships with our families.
Curriculum
The curriculum we use at A Joyful Noise is called ABCJesusLovesMe™.
The curriculum ranges from 1 year of age to year 5, which includes core academics learning, development and biblical teachings through play.
Meet Our Director
About Our Director - Ava Smyth
Hi, I’m Ava! I’ve been part of the A Joyful Noise family since 2019, and from the moment I stepped into my first classroom here, I knew I was exactly where I was meant to be. I started as a Lead Teacher and quickly found myself moving into leadership and now as the Director, I get to support our amazing staff, partner with our incredible families, and best of all, still soak up all the joyful chaos that comes with educating young children.
I’ve been working in the early childhood field for over ten years, and I can honestly say it’s my true calling. There’s nothing better than watching children grow, learn, and blossom into their own unique selves. I’ve learned so much about child development, family partnerships, and the kind of impact high-quality care can have on a child’s life. I love being able to create an environment where kids feel safe, curious, and confident to be themselves. Their creativity, resilience, and big personalities inspire me every day.
I hold an Associate of Arts in Early Childhood Education with a goal of continuing my studies toward a bachelor’s degree because, even after all these years, there’s always something new to learn when you’re working with children! I believe in leading with passion, kindness, and just the right amount of coffee. I’m always here to support our staff and children, from jumping into circle time, helping with a tricky transition, or cheering on our team as they chase their professional goals. I’m passionate about being hands-on and showing up whenever needed, because I believe this field has the power to change lives every day.
When I’m not at Joyful Noise, you can probably find me soaking up the sun or by the water (whenever our trusty Washington weather allows) or spending time with my two tiny but mighty Yorkies, Kofi and Roxy, who are the cutest office assistants and basically run the household.
I feel incredibly blessed to do what I love and to be part of such a warm, supportive community. My goal is always to lead with heart, lift others up, and make sure every child, family, and staff member feels truly valued here.
