Preschool Program

What Parents Are Saying:

• My preschooler has had a wonderful year at Jump in the Mandarin immersion class. She has greatly improved her Mandarin and acquired all the skills to be kindergarten ready. The teachers are all very nurturing and do a great job of tailoring their teaching to the individual child.
