JumpStart Preschool

Summary |
|
A very nice product that will help your child learn fundamental preschool skills. It's nicely designed and will appeal to young children. The 3 skill levels for each activity provide growth room and the variety of fun activities and songs will keep children amused. The Progress Report, a feature unique to this series, will help parents better understand what their child is learning and how s/he is progressing. |
Educational
|
|
Your child will have ample opportunity to learn and practice age-appropriate skills. There's more to this title than meets the eye. Parents should check out the printed "User's Guide" because in it you'll understand what your child should be learning with each activity. The educational areas that are included are: ABC's, shapes, sounds, colors, numbers, counting, listening, sorting and visual memory. |
Fun Factor |
|
JumpStart Preschool has cute characters, pleasing design and entertaining songs. As your child explores, s/he will find lots of cute animations. |
Lasting Value |
|
As its name implies, JumpStart Preschool has been designed for a specific developmental level. How long your child will enjoy this title will depend upon how quickly they learn the material presented. For each activity there are typically several levels to select from. You may find that for some activities, your child may really need the next or the previous title (JumpStart Toddler or JumpStart PreKindergarten). If you suspect that this will be true for your child, then check out the JumpStart Preschool Jumbo bundle. You'll receive 3 levels in 1 package. |
Quality |
|
Overall, this is a good quality product and is easy to use. Children just need to 'point and click'. Navigation is pretty obvious. It was reliable and easy to get started. No installation was necessary. The graphics and animations are nice. |
Check This Out |
|
Make sure you try out the Progress Report. (I missed this until I read the manual. This is one feature that's not obvious.) The value to me was finding out which areas my son was actually using. If you have multiple children using it (as a parent or teacher), then sign in as "teacher". You can then print out the Progress Reports for all of the students. |
