"Jump Smart" Pre-Kindergarten Program
School District 75 (Mission) , which has a strong focus on early school success, continues to host the Jump Smart pre-kindergarten program in cooperation with Quest Leisure Ltd.
Since September 2002, Jump Smart has offered pre-kindergarten readiness skills based on Kiddikins - a kinesthetic learning program. Jump Smart has quickly grown from one class to five classes and has names on the JS Interest List to 2016/17!
While using play-based movement games, Jump Smart aids a child's transition to elementary school by teaching and/or reinforcing basic pre-kindergarten topics including recognition of colors, numbers, shapes, letters and phonemes (individual letter sounds); concepts including associations, opposites, simple science, and healthy choices; and a variety of physical skills. As well, daily snacks, creative projects and school routines are offered.
