Joyful Noise Daycare Home

A house is designed for comfort, intimacy and warmth. It may contain soft furniture, portraits, books or musical instruments, and when it shelters a family it becomes a home.  Joyful Noise is a day care home, licensed by the state of Michigan and, as the name implies, a cheerful, lively place, dedicated to providing a beautiful, nourishing haven where children can spend their days.  This website also strives to be a nourishing haven, providing information, comfort and resources to support those who accompany children on the journey that is childhood.

You must know that there is nothing higher and stronger and more wholesome for life in the future than some good memory, especially a memory preserved from childhood, of home.  People talk to you a great deal about education.   But some good, sacred memory preserved from childhood--that is perhaps the best education.   For if a man has only one good memory left in his heart, even that may keep him from evil... And if he carries many such memories with him into life, he is safe for the end of his days.
