A Joyful Journey Academy’s Curriculum

At A Joyful Journey Academy, we believe that joyful learning is powerful learning. That’s why we use the nationally recognized Experience Curriculum, a research-based early childhood program aligned with Ohio’s Early Learning and Development Standards.

Our curriculum supports the whole child - academically, socially, emotionally, and physically - through engaging, age-appropriate experiences. Each day, our educators guide children in learning through exploration, creativity, and meaningful relationships.

Key Features of Our Curriculum:
