Parents' Day Out is a childcare ministry program offered to the members of Joy and the surrounding community. This program is available to children ages 6 weeks old through 5 years old. We separate the children into age-appropriate classrooms with two adult caregivers per class. The children will enjoy age appropriate activities, songs, stories and outside play.

In order to attend PDO you must pre-register. Registration is on a first come first serve basis with Joy members receiving early sign-up privileges. Sign-up is on the third Sunday of every month for the following month. We begin sign-up at 10:45 AM. When you arrive you will put your name in a bucket and we draw names to determine the order in which you will sign up. If all the spaces are full you may sign up on the waiting list at no charge and if a space becomes available you will be contacted. Parent's Day Out is $20.00 per child. For more information, pick up a Parent’s Day Out flier, or call Julie Stautberg (julies@joyonline.org) at 623-362-3205 x309.

Mommy and Me Playgroup
The Mommy and Me Playgroup meets on Mondays from 9:00-11:00 AM in Kid Kountry. Mothers of children birth-kindergarten are welcome to come meet other moms and enjoy a time of crafts, games, snacks, and songs with their little ones. Call Lizzy Robinson at 623-551-1217 if you have questions.

Moms Plus
This group consists of mothers of children from infants through elementary age. Getting together on the 2nd and 4th Friday of the month, the moms make lifetime friends and center the morning around discussion, enrichment, fun and encouragement. The morning begins with refreshments and usually includes a speaker, creative activity and discussion. The $40 per semester registration fee covers childcare, craft supplies, speaker fees and refreshments. Speakers are centered around a wide range of topics of interest to young families. This group had such a great time last year that they planned additional informal off-campus activities where they could get to know each other better on outings with their children. If you are interested in joining the group or getting more information, call Brittney Holmes at 623-334-3592 or e-mail her at 112897@msn.com.
