It’s no secret that young children need safety, love, conversation, and a stimulating environment to develop and keep important synapses in the brain. Young early childhood experiences are critical to the healthy emotional and intellectual development of children. Research has shown that brain connections that lead to later success grow out of positive attachment and nurturing, supportive, predictable care. This type of environment fosters curiosity, creativity, and self-confidence.
We understand that infants and toddlers learn about themselves and their world during interactions with others — that’s why Jump’s focus is relational. Our Educators work hard to build emotionally-safe environments through genuine relationships where children are heard and respected. We facilitate positive self-esteem and high self-worth so each child has strong, lifelong emotional intelligence, giving them the ability to cope with life’s challenges. Education and care for children of all ages in our services is research-based, making the most of daily routines and providing rich educational and play–based opportunities through our programs.
