Focus on Oral Language
Jumpstart’s curriculum provides a deep focus on key areas of oral language development, including specific attention to social-emotional language skills. Select skills were identified based on recent literature demonstrating their importance to the population of preschool children Jumpstart serves. Together, these key oral language skills are predictors and leading indicators of later school success and are able to be implemented well within the Jumpstart program, given our low adult-to-child ratios and individualized interactions.

A Summer Vs. School Year
The curriculum has been developed to meet unique needs, including both a school-year model, where programming is implemented two times per week in a Jumpstart session and a summer model, where programming is spread out over the course of the week and more reflective of the needs of many summer programs. Programming also takes place through various partnership models, such as public and privately funded preschools, Head Start programs, extended day programs, and recreational summer programs
