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.

Space is limited! To enroll your child in Jumpstart, submit an application no later than September 12. Applications are available by emailing Christine Dickson(opens in new window)
