    Jumpstart is a national early education organization that serves preschool children living in under-resourced neighborhoods. Our proven curriculum helps children develop the language and literacy skills they need to be ready for kindergarten, setting them on a path to close the achievement gap.

    We are working toward the day every child in America enters kindergarten prepared to succeed. Become a part of the movement.
