Jumpstart
A free kindergarten readiness program that helps prepare children to enter school ready to succeed.
Children are matched with a Jumpstart member for one-to-one tutoring in a fun, safe, active learning environment. Children read books, sing songs and explore new ideas focused on building their language and literacy skills.
Jumpstart is not a drop-in program. Children selected for enrollment attend on Tuesdays and Thursdays, October through May, from 4:00–5:45 p.m.
There is also an optional session on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 3:00–4:00 p.m. that is designed to build children’s social-emotional skills. Children 3-5 years of age, not enrolled in kindergarten, are eligible to participate. Families may drop their child off as early as 3 p.m., but they must be dropped off by 4 p.m. to participate in Jumpstart.
Space is limited! Start the application process today. To enroll your child in Jumpstart email Christine Dickson for an application.
