Discovery Program
Ages 2–3 | Parented
Offered once per week, the Discovery Program is a fun, parented class where children and parents learn side by side in a structured, teacher-led environment. Little ones explore songs, games, and purposeful activities that build early social and learning skills, while parents pick up strategies to support learning at home. Families also receive priority registration into the PREP Program for the following year. -
Prep Program
Ages 3–4 | Solo
Introduces children to structured, independent learning while keeping play at the heart of every lesson. Students develop fine motor skills, early letter/sound recognition, and pre-reading awareness through a balance of daily worksheets, purposeful centres, and guided instruction. Parents receive progress reports throughout the year, and families enjoy priority registration into the Scholars Program for the following year. -
Scholars Program
Ages 4–5 | Solo
The Scholars Program builds strong foundations in reading, writing, math, and social skills through structured lessons and purposeful play. Families can choose the tier that fits best with optional weekend classes. Each tier follows the same high-quality curriculum, with more frequent attendance giving children greater confidence, mastery, and readiness for Kindergarten, Grade 1, and beyond. -
Scholars Ultimate Kinder Experience
Ages 4 –6 | Solo
The Scholars Ultimate Kinder Experience delivers a full Kindergarten-level program designed to give children the strongest possible start to the public or private school system. With five days per week of instruction, students benefit from daily literacy, numeracy, science, and discovery blocks, along with more one-on-one teacher time and extended practice. This consistent routine builds confidence, independence, and mastery, making it the ultimate choice for families seeking a complete school-readiness experience. -
Summer Program
Ages 3–6 | Parented
Keep your child learning and growing all summer long with two flexible options: a 6-week Enriched School Readiness Program that mirrors our September–June curriculum, or Weekly Enriched Themes that families can pick and choose for added flexibility. Both formats blend literacy, numeracy, and social development with fun, hands-on activities — the perfect mix of learning and summer fun.

The JumpStart Advantage
Jumpstart your child’s education with our differentiated programming and proven results.
Research shows that children who received a quality early learning program with intentional instruction did better in reading and math than kids who spent the year in daycare, or with relatives.
Our Program is unique just like your child
Our programs combine an ‘Academic’ and ‘Play with Purpose’ approach to focus on letter and sound recognition, identifying and tracing words, basic math skills of counting and early number recognition, as well as social skills development. Our curriculum is designed to be developmentally appropriate for your child. Our Teachers implement proven lesson plans and activities laid out in our year plan.
By far the most important ingredient to your child’s success are their Educators. That’s why we invest in finding the best qualified people who are passionate about Early Learning and provide them with the tools and resources required to do what they do best!
All staff are first-aid and CPR certified as well as screened using references and a criminal record check.
Our staff are not focused on ‘caregiver’ duties, but rather on providing an unparalleled educational experience that follows a research-based program plan.
Parents can feel confident in knowing that every student is guided along with a proven road map to success by qualified and experienced educators.
Our facilities are kept clean and sanitized with all required maintenance kept up to date to ensure a safe and inviting environment for your child. Classrooms are under video surveillance for everyone’s piece of mind.
All our classrooms are equipped with SANUVOX Air Cleaners. These use two proven technologies to clean and purify the indoor air, HEPA filtration and UV Light.
Both technologies are scientifically proven to protect from airborne germs and allergens including SARS-CoV-2 and other coronaviruses. See more here.
Our unique curriculum uses learning outcomes from the Edmonton Public School’s Kindergarten and Grade 1 curriculum and merges them with the best research-based methodologies and approaches from around the world.
In addition to paper and pencil activities that develop fine motor skills and literacy & numeracy concepts, we provide teacher-led structured activities. Students rotate through educational centres that are designed to reinforce concepts covered in class while keeping learning fun and engaging!
Our approach is inspired by our Educational Philosophy.
It’s simple, smaller class sizes and lower teacher/student ratios translate to better results! Our students are better prepared for success in Kindergarten and beyond!
With smaller group sizes and structured routines, our Teachers can focus on enhancing your child’s learning and self-confidence. Students build social-emotional skills and slowly gain confidence in a small classroom setting before transitioning into formal schooling with larger class sizes.
