Meet Jersey! She’s one of our awesome assistant teachers in the Ones Room, where she spends her days loving on our littlest kiddos and finding ways to keep them happy, busy, and having fun!

Jersey has a special talent for finding a good deal! 😂 She spotted these bubbles at a great price and just had to buy them for the kiddos! Because if it’s fun for the kids AND a good deal… you can’t pass it up!

She also loves getting crafty and creative at work, coming up with DIY projects and fun activities for her little ones. From finding fun deals to making memories, Jersey is always looking for ways to make the Ones Room extra special.

We’re so lucky to have her loving on our littles! 💕

If you’ve spent any time around our Bears room, you already know that Chaselyn is basically part of the Bears’ official fan club… and they are VERY much part of hers!

Chaselyn took the lead in the Bears room over the summer, and we’re SO excited she’s sticking around and taking on the school year with our favorite little 3-year-olds! 🐻

The kids love her.
We love her.
The Bears are pretty convinced she’s the best thing since snack time. 😂🍪

She brings the perfect mix of fun, patience, silliness, and “okay friends, let’s make a good choice” energy to the room. 😉

We can’t wait to see all the giggles, learning, adventures, crafts, dance parties, and questionable toddler logic that this crew gets into this year.
We’re so lucky to have you leading our Bears, Chaselyn!

If your kiddo has ever said, “I don’t want to go home yet!” there’s a pretty good chance Abby was involved. 😂

After 5 years at Joyful Journeys, Abby is stepping into a new role as Onsite Supervisor! And honestly, we’re not sure who is more excited..us or the kids who now get even MORE Abby time!

Abby is the kind of teacher who somehow gets kids to want to stay at daycare longer… which is great for us, but slightly concerning for parents. 😂

She knows our kiddos, loves our families, and has become such a big part of Joyful Journeys.

💛 A BIG THANK YOU! 💛

We had a very special surprise donation show up at Joyful Journeys, and we are SO thankful!

Our kiddos received a sand digger, Bible story books, and a little Bible!

The sand digger has already been put to work, and the new Bible books are giving our little ones even more opportunity to learn, explore, and grow in their faith.
There wasn’t a note included, but we are so thankful! So, to our mystery donor THANK YOU! Your generosity means so much to us and our kiddos. We are truly blessed by the people who pour into Joyful Journeys. 💕

Ms. Meredith! 💕 She’s been loving, teaching, laughing, and probably cleaning up glitter at Joyful Journeys for 10 YEARS! 🎉🙌

As our Preschool Teacher, Ms. Meredith has poured so much love, patience, and fun into countless little kiddos over the years. We’re pretty sure she has earned a PhD in “Where Did That Toy Come From?”

Here’s to many more years of loving on those kiddos!
