Jumpstart Early Learning Academy (Preschool) - Ambleside

I have seen so much progress in my son's ability to count, literacy and social skills. The preschool program at Jumpstart gave me the confidence as a parent that my son's transition into kindergarten would be way smoother given all the strong foundational skills he gathered at Jumpstart. My son loves the teachers there especially Mrs. Sharon who paid careful attention to his needs from day one. He loved the program so much that he wanted to be at Jumpstart everyday. As parents we are highly satisfied with the program and recommend it to all parents. For us it is truly one of the best investments we have made in our son's educational path.

Put my son tyson in there for past few months . He did not like it very well he said ... we updated our emails and phone numbers and we weren't notified about anythin going on with the school , They kept sending stuff to the old Email and old number apparently even though we did call and update information.Then they were closed twice so we went there for nothing and we feel we weren't treated very appropriately for the money we spent . Like $800 for a few classes so we withdrawaled him immediately . And they didn't wanna do any refund of any sorts . We were not very happy about that . Then they sent a email out when i withdrawaled him and referred to him as Tyler which showed me my son wasn't very valued at this facility .Would not recommend this particular jump start !!

I have nothing but great things to say about the school and the educators. Both of my daughters attended Jumpstart as part-time students and for summer camps. Even during the pandemic they provided great support and materials for the students to continue learning at home. The program is well designed to keep children engaged while having fun too, and all of the educators are so warm, caring and absolutely best at what they do. My daughters and I will miss them!

My daughter had a amazing experience at Jumpstart! It was so well organized and developmentally appropriate. The activities were so fun while also being educational! Also Teacher Ashley and Teacher Cynthia were lovely and so skilled and experienced with the kiddos. It was apparent they truly had a passion for their jobs and the kiddos that they were teaching. My daughter will be attending again this year and her siblings will also start her education at jumpstart as well.

My son grew exponentially over the course of 2 years, very highly recommend.The staff are awesome and dedicated to all they do. They are prompt about everything.Couldn't recommend highly enough, 10 stars!I must mention, there is also subsidy available and the remainder is a write off. Win win win!Thank you Ms. Amanda and Ms. Alisha for another amazing year.

We have had a great experience with our daughter in Jumpstart. The class sizes are small and the teachers are very caring. The communication between school and home is timely and helpful. The programming is well laid out and I see the development in my daughters skills and confidence. During COVID, Jumpstart has been very proactive. The options during the school closure and reopening were super. The at home learning made ongoing learning as easy as possible and kept consistency for the children. When the school reopened, I was very impressed by the care taken to keep everyone save while continuing the programming as best a possible. Would encourage others to explore the school program as kindergarten prep. We look forward to a second year with the program.

My son's numeracy and literacy skills improved a great deal when he joined Jumpstart. His desire to learn also increased and he always looks forward to going there. I really like the structure and how the teachers pay great attention to the kids' educational needs. Jumpstart certainly provides very high quality early childhood education and I would strongly recommend it to any parent.

My son enjoyed the Prep II course and both Miss Ashley and Miss Cynthia were so wonderful. I noticed my son became more confident and social. He's still shy but he definitely opened up and was having a great time. I appreciated the covid protocols they had in place and we felt very safe sending our son. There was great communication with the preschool, especially their app was great and user friendly. We plan on sending our child again for the scholars program. We highly recommend.I am editing my previous review: We love Jumpstart and my son enjoyed his second year in the Scholar III course. I am so proud of what he has accomplished. He is definitely ready for Kindergarten this upcoming Fall. I am so happy he attended here, everything was great. We love the teachers and my son will miss them, along with his friends. My son is writing and reading independently at level AA. Which is amazing. I plan to send my daughter here as well in the Fall.

I would highly recommend Jumpstart’s preschool program. My son attended the 3yo program. It was a wonderful first introduction to school. Ms Amanda and Ms Shannon were kind and caring, and really nurtured the students in their learning. The lessons were fun and playful, but also structured so the kids could learn skills to get ready for school. Also, the COVID protocols at this preschool were exceptional, with extra cleaning measures, individual supplies for the kids, and protocols for drop off and pick up. We will definitely return next year, and I will be sending my younger kids when they are old enough.

Jumpstart has been an amazing program for both of my children. I have tried other preschool programming and nothing compares to the incredible experience we have had at jumpstart. The teachers have great communication, small class sizes and the individualized programming that helped my 4 year old become a reader! I recommend Jumpstart to anyone looking to build the foundations of early literacy and learning.
