 Fun for Threes!May 18, 2009
By Eileen Walker
"Book loving Granny"
I purchased Jump Start Preschool several years ago for my grandchildren to play when they come to visit and recently added Jump Start Kindergarten to the collection. They love them both. The two year olds play them with my help and by the time they are three can insert the cd, click on the icon, start the game and go from one activity to another independently. Several of them visit often and head for the computer as soon as they come in the door. These cd's are great not only for their entertainment and educational value but they also help children to be comfortable with the mouse and keyboard.

 fun and educationalFeb 20, 2011
By Lindsay Cushman
I bought this item about a month ago and my kids love the games that they can play by themselves. If you want a more educational experience for your child you may have to sit with them and do some of the learning games. My kids are not in Kindergarten yet, but this is good preparation for them in learning sight words, word families, and alphabetic recognition and sounds. As a teacher I would recommend K Jump Start. It not only gets them used to using a computer, but they are learning in a fun way too and their teacher will thank you.
Must have!Feb 01, 2012
By heresthesunrise
I babysit my friend's 5 year old boy and he actually asks me to play this now. He loves his video games and the first time I tried getting him to play it he looked at it when instantly wanted to play the Wii again. I asked him to at least try and sat down with him and he loved it! I loved that it had an assessment test that automatically set all the levels for him.
Only complaint is it can be a bit glitchy at times but I'll just restart it and it works fine.
 Couldn't get it to runOct 18, 2011

My new laptop wouldn't run this program. I think it is my fault for buying it without checking the details, but before you look at this before ordering it.
It's OKOct 03, 2011

This software has some fun games, but it didn't keep my kindergarten student engaged for more than one session of learning. He played on all of the games and was ready to move on to something else. I felt that with most kindergarten children however, that it would hold their attention and could be used over and over. It's educational value is not as good as it could be (instead of using art/painting and music, they could substitute for other academic areas), but it's engaging and fun. It has other activities (reading/math) that are very educational.
