Home Visiting
At Joyce, new families are welcomed into the community by being offered the opportunity to have an introductory home visit, which helps families and new students build a relationship with our staff in a comfortable setting. The goal is to lay a foundation for strong relationships to be built throughout a child’s time at Joyce. Home visits are an ongoing process, and appropriate resources will provided with follow-up visits as needed.
To support home visiting, donate here. To request a home visit or discuss partnerships, contact Karina.
If you require assistance outside of tuition assistance, please apply to our Family Support Fund here.
