After years of searching for a brick and mortar location to house our educational programs, we are thrilled to share that "The JOy of Literacy Learning Center" will call 17646 Main Street, Dumfries, VA 22026 HOME! We plan to be in full-swing by July 2022!

"Dazzle them with your brillance!" ~Jo A. Neville

My mother instilled in me, the importance of an education at an early age; thus the name of our location with an intentional, and purposeful "JO!" Education, is indeed the tool necessary to change the trajection of your life. It is important to me, that everyone have access to a quality education.

“There is power in face-to-face small group tutoring, and wrap-around services to complement the traditional education that takes place in our public schools. There is also power in providing resources that empower and uplift the family as a unit. Providing resources that address the needs of the "whole child" is imperative to providing a quality education overall, and The JOy of Literacy Learning Center provides an indoor and outdoor environment conducive to effectively doing so.

This time we are living in is a crucial time to address the learning gaps and disparities in education brought on by the pandemic, as well as those that existed long previously.

The majority of the programs offered at The JOy of Literacy Learning Center are targeted to address the literacy gap in the Commonwealth of Virginia...at least in our community!
