JOYFUL NOISE
VPK TEACHERS
Ms. Patty
Hi, my name is Patty. My husband and I have five children and two grandchildren. We have lived in Debary for 8 years. When we aren’t busy with family activities, we love to travel and explore new places. I have 20 years of experience working with children as either a teacher’s aide, substitute teacher, or teacher. I have worked with preschoolers and early elementary age children. I love working with young children and watching them learn new things. Their joy and excitement is infectious. I am very involved in my church and have taken our elementary age girls to summer camp for the past 5 years. It has been a pleasure to work with all the teachers at Joyful Noise Preschool. Thank you for entrusting me with your precious children.

Ms. Janelle
Hi my name is Janelle. I am originally from Chicago. I have lived in South Florida and Central Florida for a total of 19 years. My husband and I have been married for 14 years. We have two children. Spencer, who is 8 and Sophie, who is 7. They both attended Joyful Noise Preschool. I started babysitting at a young age and was a nanny for many families before having my own children. I taught preschool for four years before I started here at Joyful Noise Preschool. I am grateful and blessed to be a part of Joyful Noise Preschool. My favorite part about working with my students is teaching them something new every day and seeing the smile on their face.

Ms. Courtney
Hello, my name is Courtney. I graduated from FSU in 2006, where I met my husband. We have 3 kids, Kaden, Kaylah, and Caroline, all of whom attended Joyful Noise preschool. We love to take our kids on adventures, and have traveled to some really cool places.
Preschool is a magical time and I love watching the kids learn and grow. It is exciting to see a child master a new skill. I am thankful to work in such a loving environment with wonderful people.

Ms. Mary
Hi, my name is Mary. I was born and raised in Daytona Beach. My husband Eric and I have been blessed with two boys. Our oldest attends the University of Alabama. Our youngest is in middle school.
I started working with children by babysitting and helping out with my mom during Sunday School. It was then I realized this is what I wanted to do! I previously worked at a preschool in Daytona for over 25 years.
Throughout the years I have taken many opportunities to take classes and learn all I can. I have worked with toddlers through elementary. I have enjoyed each age group!
I also teach elementary Sunday School at our church.
I am thankful to be here at Joyful Noise Preschool. Each person here brings something special and we all keep on learning!

Ms. Linda
Hi, my name is Linda. I have lived in Florida my entire life and right here in West Volusia for over 45 years. I am married to my husband Matt for 24 years. We have five children together, four girls and one boy. We also have nine grandchildren. You can catch us on the baseball field in our free time cheering on our grandsons. I retired from Volusia County Public Schools after 20 years. I decided I wasn’t ready to retire so I came back to work here at Joyful Noise. I enjoy reading, crafting, and spending time with my family. In addition to working with children at Joyful Noise you can find me at Community Church working with children as the Children’s Director.
VPK C
Hi, my name is Maria. I was born and raised in PA. My husband and I moved to FL in 2004. We have been blessed with two beautiful boys. Besides being a mom, some of my favorite things to do are spending family time together, traveling, and relaxing on a beach. Throughout the years, I have babysat, worked at school programs, and volunteered in classrooms at my boys school. I have always loved working with children and am blessed to work at Joyful Noise. I enjoy being in the classroom with the children, seeing their enthusiasm, enhance their learning with excitement as they learn a new skill, and be a part of their social and emotional growth. I am thankful I get to share these special moments with your child every day. Thank you for entrusting us with your precious children!
