Our Challenge
Statistics show that Jumpstart is working to overcome a real crisis in American school readiness. Here are the facts:

• 35% of American kindergarten children arrive at school unprepared to learn.
• 50% of all children from low-income families start first grade up to two years behind their peers in preschool skills.
• 5-year-olds from low-income communities have one-fourth the vocabulary of their mid-income peers.

If you believe in our mission of working toward the day when every child in America enters school prepared to succeed, join our network today!
