Since 1991, JumpStart® has set the bar for excellence in educational software for kids. After more than 15 years of providing some of the finest learning tools to children in both the home and the classroom, JumpStart® sought to further revolutionize children’s learning games. In 2008, JumpStart® launched JumpStart.com, transporting young learners to a virtual world characterized by an enjoyable educational experience. Through its innovative approach to bridging the gap between fun and academics, JumpStart.com has not only encouraged its players to prioritize education, but become excited to learn as well.
