infants
Babies develop very quickly during the first year of life. They move from not being able to control limb movements to being able to reach for things and bang them together. Infants develop physically and learn to interact with people on a daily basis. At Jump City, we place an huge importance in our infant room. With our individual care plan, we make the transition from your “in home” care to our center more comfortable.

Preschool is a new adventure in your child’s life. Our teachers are prepared to guide your child through opportunities to explore learning. Jump City classrooms are organized to allow children to learn, play, and explore materials individually or in small groups. Through structured activities, exploration (dramatic play), and hands-on learning your child will develop other skills such as literacy, science, mathematics, social skills, and physical wellness.

Pre School
Pre-Kindergarten
Pre-Kindergarten offers a formal classroom environment that allows students to understand expectations in kindergarten. Teachers assess each child current state of education and set goals to prepare them for the next level. We fully understand that each child may not be on the same level educationally, therefore we work individually to ensure students is are achieving there personal goals. After the completion of the pre-k program, your child will graduate and be ready for the next level.
