Preschool Programs at Jump Immersion

“A person is a person no matter how small.”
-Dr. Seuss

Preschool Overview

We are dedicated to fostering a supportive learning environment that promotes an awareness of diversity and multiculturalism through language and leadership.
We meet these goals with the guidance of dedicated native-speaking teachers and passionate Education Specialists who work together to provide innovative, highly interactive activities with the idea that together, we are stronger than apart.
Jump! Immersion School offers a Language + Leadership approach to learning. Children holistically learn language through academic content, interpersonal connections, and culture. They learn leadership through service, public speaking, community care and our proprietary Character-Building Program.
Everyday opportunities are available for each child to make responsible choices, learn and play independently and cooperatively, develop social problem-solving skills, and build positive relationships with both peers and adults. All these opportunities are what make us proud to be a leading private immersion preschool.
Differentiated Learning

Is one of the cornerstones of Jump Preschool. Our Educational Specialists work in tandem with the teachers to ensure that each child reaches their potential at their own pace.
We love all our children where they are, and knowledge is key in understanding your child’s individual needs. We thoughtfully assess the children at the beginning of the year to ensure that the lessons given are meaningful and productive.
