A comprehensive learning experience for children ages 6 weeks through 5 years of age.
Journey School is a ministry of Journey of Faith Church open to children infant–6 years old. Our teachers are dedicated, caring and encouraging. They are able to create a child-led learning experience through a structured developmental environment offering multi-sensory experiences including hands-on learning, art & sensory activities, music and movement as well as children’s literature. We emphasize the importance of connecting the school and home partnership for each child. JOF School teachers work together with parents through daily pictures, regular communication, and special events throughout the school year.
Preparing the Next Generation
Journey School curriculum is the “backbone” of our school’s program. At Journey of Faith School, it is the basis for developing an effective, developmentally appropriate infant/toddler and preschool program. This includes social-emotional, physical, and academic areas, which are important areas of growth for each child. Our program includes our Biblically integrated early childhood thematic curriculum, books, music, and weekly phonics lessons. Preschool and TK classes use the “Learning Without Tears” and Zoo Phonics Curriculum to prepare them for kindergarten.

TESTIMONIALS
Both of our children, ages 2 & 4 yrs. old attend JOF and we couldn’t be happier with the school. The teachers and staff are so warm, caring & patient and it truly makes for the best environment you could ask for. The curriculum is both educational & fun for the kids and I am always amazed at how much they learn. I also think the school does a great job with incorporating events for the parents which helps to create a community feeling that I think is missing at other schools.
I also love all the communication with the weekly & monthly themes and all the photos you get throughout the day.

I am truly grateful for the exceptional educational experience my children have had at Journey of Faith School, and I cannot express my appreciation enough. My son began his journey at Journey of Faith School at the tender age of 3, and he continued to thrive under their care until he successfully completed the kindergarten program. Likewise, my daughter was enrolled from the ages of 2 to 4, and her developmental progress during this period was truly remarkable.
The dedicated teaching staff at Journey of Faith School played a pivotal role in nurturing my children’s academic and personal growth. Their unwavering commitment to education and the genuine care they provided allowed my children to establish enduring connections with their educators. This bond undoubtedly contributed to their overall development.
During their time at Journey of Faith School, I witnessed both of my children blossom and flourish in a nurturing and stimulating environment. This school has proven to be a remarkable choice for their holistic development, instilling values and fostering a love for learning that will serve them well in their future endeavors.
I wholeheartedly endorse Journey of Faith School to any parents seeking a wholesome and compassionate educational institution for their children. It has been a privilege to be a part of this community, and I am profoundly thankful for the positive impact it has had on my children’s lives.

Journey of Faith School is a hidden gem! Truly the most amazing experience you can have for your child. The school staff are amazing and really care for your child and the family as a whole. I’ve never seen a more genuine team who love the Lord and treat every single child with the utmost care. Everyone there is one big family, and my little one loved going to school every single day! I felt incredibly peaceful leaving my little one in their care and loved the extra mile each staff member goes for every single one of their students. You and your family will be blessed! I know we surely were.
The amount of communication is a parent’s dream. Ms. Nancy and the staff are so incredible when it comes to communicating anything from school events, reminders and updates on how my child was doing during the week. There’s also so many daily activities for your children to explore as well as fun events during the school year that the children get to be involved in. Call and take a tour! Hands down will recommend Journey to every parent I meet!

Journey of Faith is an extension of our family – I can’t describe it any other way. Our 2-year-old has been attending since he was 10 months old, and our 10-month-old has been attending since he was 6 months old. Honestly, we were at a different daycare before getting a spot at JOF and I thank God every day that we were able to switch. The teachers at JOF truly care about our children, they communicate to us constantly and make us feel comfortable leaving our children in their care every day.
The infant class has a very limited number of babies – so each child is given plenty of attention! Plus, the room is very spacious, and they are constantly doing activities that help the babies develop.
The toddler and preschool classes change curriculum every week with so much creativity that I don’t know how these teachers come up with new things so often. Our son comes home with new vocabulary all the time! They also teach good behavior with nurturing words like “green choices” versus “red choices”, which is much better than the method I do at home!
Particularly during COVID, the school has gone OVER AND BEYOND to keep our children safe. They have made all sorts of changes to minimize the risk, going that extra mile to train all the teachers, and make it possible to stay open.
The teachers, the director (Ms. Nancy), the office staff (Ms. Yvonne, Ms. Mady), and every single member of the JOF team are wonderful. Good hearts and good people. If I accidentally got pregnant again, the first person I’d call after I found out would be my husband and then the second would be Ms. Nancy to get onto the Infant Room waitlist.

Journey of Faith has been a GREAT experience for my child and for our family (10 out of 10). My son is currently attending Journey of Faith – preschool, TK and Kindergarten + summer camps (4-6). I thought to write this review by breaking it down by categories that I feel are important.
1. Teachers/Director – I give the teachers at this school 5 stars. This includes the supporting staff and Director. From my experience, the teachers and staff have shown respect and love to my child through not only words, but actions. They encourage positive behavior and truly want to see my son succeed socially and mentally. The teachers were nurturing to my son, while still letting him be a kid.
2. Education – Journey of Faith gave my son a well-rounded education, which included art and the fundamentals he will need to be successful in elementary school. The school has given him the confidence he will need to start 1st grade. The teachers focus on each child’s strength and needs, giving them the right tools in class to advance. The student-teacher ratio has been amazing! The attention he received has allowed him to advance. My son has currently been enrolled in the kinder class this past year. I recently signed him up for Mathnasium to provide extra enrichment over the summer between kinder and 1st grade. During his assessment the owner asked who his teacher was and where he went to school as he knew subjects that kids at his age normally do not receive. Cannot thank his teachers enough for giving him a great foundation to start his public-school journey.
3. Facilities – Journey of Faith has wonderful facilities. On rainy days he still has the chance to get his wiggles out – which as a parent you know how important that is! The kids also have the chance to attend chapel together, which my son LOVES. Their awesome facilities allow room for extra circular activities and fun programs! Take a tour and you will see!
4. Communication / Organization – Journey of Faith has great communication and organization. Their events, such as graduation, are well managed and on time. Journey of Faith has an app to sign your child in/out and communicate to the teachers and staff easily. The school’s communication and organization make our life so much easier as I can remember what to bring and when!
5. Activities & Programs – Journey of Faith has an abundance of extra curriculars and after care options. They seem to be at the cutting edge to offer fun programs and activities (Sportsball, Dance, etc.) I have loved their summer camps – as each week is themed and my son comes back learning new things even over the summer!
6. Safety – Journey of Faith was extremely diligent about safety – which has been extremely hard to handle over this past year. I have never felt my kid wasn’t safe. It helps that their student-teacher ratio is low, and my son receives more attention. Don’t worry – they still let the kids be kids.
7. Spiritual – Journey of Faith has given my son a wonderful example of how to show God’s “fruits of the spirit” – which he explains as being kind, patient, faithful etc. His love for God shows towards his family and friends. I truly thank Journey of Faith for showing him love and guiding him in his journey with God.
