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.

Space is limited! Start the application process today. To enroll your child in Jumpstart email Christine Dickson for an application.
