If you are reading this, then you might be a parent or a guardian looking for the ideal preschool for your child.
The word “ideal” was what led me to sign up for Joy School in 2015. Being a firm believer in early childhood education and having given my daughter a wonderful preschool experience (Go ISYC!), I had been searching then for the ideal preschool for my two-year-old boy.
While there are many preschools in Baguio City, none seemed to be the right fit for him, knowing how keen he was with his emotions. The right preschool for Makisig would be one which would firmly set his lifetime love for learning, and that would only be possible if he had joy while doing so.
Joy School was the perfect answer. I taught Makisig for a year to prepare him for big school and boy, it was the most fun we had together (as you can probably tell from the blog posts!)
As I prepared to teach my youngest daughter Alina this year, I firmed up plans to open and operate a commercial Joy School. I thought to myself, I am going to invest my time and brainpower in preparing for and delivering the lessons anyway, so why not scale it up and invite a few more parents to bring their children to my class? It just made practical sense to do it this way!
On top of that, I sincerely wish to spread the philosophy of Joy School to Baguio City, and to as many families as I could reach elsewhere. I believe teaching children joy is a way to lay a firm foundation for them to become well-adjusted adults later in life.
I hope to meet your child in this year’s Joy School program. Read more to discover the Joy School philosophy and learn about the founders, Linda and Richard Eyre.
Here’s to a year of joyful learning!
