History Of The Program
Joy worked in the children’s ministry for years. She noticed how children would recognize her and call her name in grocery stores, restaurants, and malls. She loved children and had three children of her own Jaydan, Kandon, and Julia. When her daughter Julia died of meningitis back in 1996 she was heartbroken. Several years later she decided to quit the hauling business and go back to school. The only available courses that summer were Early Childhood. She enrolled in several classes and enjoyed learning about the theorist. Her husband Victor supported and helped her work toward her goal of opening an In-Home Childcare Program. Joy Parks started JOYLAND Day Care in April 2004. Joy uses her tribulations as fuel to propel her to the next level. She believes that all children are capable of learning.
