What is JumpStart!?

JumpStart! preschool is Cajon Valley’s fee-based preschool program. Children who are three years old and toilet trained are eligible for enrollment. The program is licensed by the state of California, Community Care Licensing and preschool staff are employees of the Cajon Valley Union School District. JumpStart! follows the same calendar as the elementary and middle schools in the district, observing all school holidays and breaks.

Philosophy

Children have a natural desire to learn. The JumpStart! curriculum is organized around monthly, seasonal or holiday themes in which children’s physical, social, emotional and intellectual growth are promoted through play, exploration, discovery and guided learning. Music, movement, dramatic play, art and literature are provided as a vehicle for children to develop language, social skills, self-confidence, motor and other school readiness skills.
