The Jumpstarter journey begins in #NewYorkCity! Before our newest Jumpstarters ever set foot in a preschool classroom, they're putting in the work: Learning the research, building the skills, and developing the relationships that make them extraordinary learning partners for the children they'll serve. The dedication in this room is real, and so is the impact that follows. We can't wait to see them in action! 💪✨ #Jumpstart #NYC #EarlyChildhood #Jumpstarters #PlayBasedLearning #VolunteerLife

🧠 Did you know that simple back-and-forth conversations with little ones can actually help grow their brains? Research shows that "conversational turns", those everyday moments of talking and listening, strengthen the part of the brain linked to language and reading, setting kids up for stronger reading skills down the road. 📖 That's why Jumpstart partners with LENA to measure the real impact of our programming on children's language development. 💛 And it's why our Jumpstarters are trained to approach every interaction with intention - pausing to quiet their minds, preparing thoughtfully before engaging, and tuning in to what each child is doing and feeling in that moment. 🎯 These small but powerful steps encourage preschoolers to talk more, explore more, and grow more. Because every conversation counts. 🗣️✨ #Jumpstart #ChildDevelopment #EarlyChildhoodEducation

🌙 Great sleep sets the stage for great learning, and our friends at Beyond Bedtime (formerly Pajama Program) are on a mission to make bedtime routines a priority for families everywhere.

At Jumpstart, we know that well-rested children are ready to learn. Consistent bedtime routines build the calm, connection, and vocabulary-rich moments that lay the foundation for early literacy. 📖✨ The challenge is already underway and it's not too late to join! Sign up and commit to 25 nights of meaningful bedtime moments with your little one: https://lnkd.in/gCk7vy2x #25NightChallenge #NationalSleepAwarenessMonth #EarlyLiteracy #Jumpstart #ReadyToLearn
