Jumpstart Preschool is proud to offer our annual Axel Scholarship, offering one full-year tuition (2 days a week) to a deserving child in our community. This scholarship holds deep meaning for us, dedicated to assisting a child in need and honoring the memory of Axel Ungs, a cherished young soul whose preschool journey was tragically cut short.

Families interested in applying for this scholarship are invited to complete an application for consideration. The scholarship covers attendance for two days a week, up to four hours per day, and is available to children between the ages of 2.5 and 5 years old.

We are committed to supporting families and ensuring every child has the opportunity to thrive at Jumpstart Preschool.

The Community Partner Scholarship is made possible through the generosity of a local community member who believes in the value of early childhood education and in the mission of Jumpstart Preschool.

This gift reflects a shared commitment to helping young children thrive, grow, and begin their educational journey with confidence. Through this scholarship, one child receives the opportunity to attend three days per week for the entire school year, removing financial barriers and ensuring access to a nurturing, play-based
learning environment.

This partnership is a beautiful reminder that it truly takes a community to raise and educate a child. Together we are investing in the future of our children and our town.

The Jumpstart Emergency Scholarship Fund is designed to support enrolled families facing temporary financial hardship and to ensure children can continue attending Jumpstart Preschool.

At Jumpstart, we understand that stability and routine are essential for young children. Consistent attendance helps children feel safe, maintain friendships, continue learning, and stay connected to their classroom community. Our emergency fund allows families a short-term bridge during difficult times so a child does not lose access to their structured learning environment.

As a community-centered preschool, we believe supporting the whole family supports the child. This fund exists to reduce stress during challenging moments and to keep children engaged in the nurturing, predictable space they depend on each day.
