Jumpstart for Young Children

In an effort to combat America''s school readiness crisis, a precursor to the educational achievement gap, Jumpstart fosters one-to-one relationships that focus on building literacy, in combination with social and emotional readiness. Time and again, we have seen how consistent, committed and caring one-to-one relationships between children and adults help to create a lifelong love of learning. Through extraordinary attention in these yearlong one-to-one relationships, Jumpstart inspires children to learn, adults to teach, families to get involved, and communities to progress together. Jumpstart is working toward the day every child in America enters school prepared to succeed.
