The JumpStart Advantage
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.
