Jumpstart Mizzou

"Working toward the day when every child in America enters kindergarten prepared to succeed" We’re in the business of changing children’s lives.

Children living with limited resources often enter kindergarten 60% behind their peers. Jumpstart provides language, literacy, and social-emotional tutoring to at-risk preschoolers to ensure ALL children are prepared to start school and achieve success. The magic of Jumpstart confirms one fact: Jumpstart works. We are closing the achievement gap.
