Enrollment
Application process
Take a tour: Contact the center director for an appointment. You will be given an opportunity to see the facility, ask questions and put your name on the waiting list.
Waiting List: There is a considerable wait to get in to each center. Families are advised to take a tour and get on the waiting list at their earliest convenience. Each center is sponsored by a local municipality. We prioritize those agency’s employees on our waiting list followed by the general public. There is a $30 waiting list fee. As openings occur, you will be contacted and offered a space.
Enrollment: Joyful Noise Child Development Centers, Inc. admits students of any race, color, national and ethnic origin, to all the rights, privileges, programs, and activities generally accorded or made available to students at the centers. It does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national and ethnic origin in administration of its educational policies, admission policies and scholarship and loan programs.
