CHARTING A COURSE

2016 ANNUAL REPORT GOING FURTHER GOING FURTHER

Making an impact takes determination and innovation. It takes a pioneering spirit and the courage to try new things. It takes perseverance from all members of our community and a shared commitment to ensure that ALL children have an equal opportunity to succeed.

THAT’S WHERE JUMPSTART COMES IN.

3 DEAR FRIENDS,

“The day we stop exploring,” Neil deGrasse Tyson once said, “is But it’s Jumpstart Corps members like Xavier that are truly our greatest the day we commit ourselves to live in a stagnant world, devoid of resource. This year, across the country, over 3,800 Corps members curiosity, empty of dreams.” At Jumpstart, we share this passion for dedicated their time and helped to prepare 11,300 preschool discovery. We are always learning and finding new ways to reach children for success in kindergarten. Our Corps members are not only more children and deepen our impact. helping children chart a new course for the future, but also changing their own paths. They are our future leaders, teachers, and parents. We are especially proud of our accomplishments this year — a year of experimentation and innovation that uncovered new paths toward We hope you will be inspired by the stories that unfold in the following our goal of every child entering kindergarten prepared to succeed. pages. Like Neil deGrasse Tyson, we are not content with the status In this year’s annual report, you will read about our latest pilots and quo and we will keep moving forward toward our bold vision. We are initiatives aimed at driving greater outcomes for children from low- honored to have you on this journey with us — indeed, we couldn’t do income communities.

“I hope that the kids in my classroom will be able to use the tools we give them to succeed and make a difference in their lives; I know I will. Jumpstart is giving me the opportunity to not only help prepare kids in need for kindergarten, but also helping me figure out what I want to do with my own life.”

– Xavier Velez, Jumpstart Corps member

4 Discovering the Joy of Learning

I have always stressed to my children how important language and literacy is in our world because it molds how we communicate and respect people. Both of my children were lucky enough to have Jumpstart in their classrooms at Dewitt Head Start in New York City, but Jayden was my biggest challenge because he was so shy and had a hard time opening up. However, as soon as he started Jumpstart and he got into the book Not Norman: A Goldfish Story, it was as if something clicked, and he took off from there. For Lyaddie, it was The Snowy Day that she fell in love with.

As a parent, I try my best to prepare my children for the future, but Jumpstart gave them that extra push they needed. I’ll never forget either of these books ­— and neither will my kids!

“I cannot express enough how thankful I am that Jumpstart showed Lyaddie and Jayden

Former Jumpstart child Lyaddie that learning can be fun, and for Smart (above) and her mother Larissa Smart (right) the countless hours the amazing Jumpstart volunteers spent in their classrooms, day after day.”

11 Laying a Foundation for Leadership

The research is clear; high-quality early childhood education improves children’s health and well-being, setting them on a path for success in school and in life. But these positive outcomes depend upon an early childhood education workforce that is well trained, supported, and fairly compensated.

After receiving Jumpstart’s high-quality training and coaching, experiencing firsthand the rewards of working in the early education field, and building relationships with their equally passionate peers, many of our Corps members fall in love with teaching Mariah Fernandez, former and pursue careers as full-time educators.
