Jump Immersion School

I cannot say enough great things about Jump Immersion in Livingston. It is a warm, loving place that has strengthened my daughter academically, but also diversified her understanding and knowledge of Latin American culture and the world around her, all while she is having a blast! Since my daughter started pre-K 4 in September 2015, her Spanish has improved dramatically, which was important for us, but even more significant, is everything else she has learned and experienced. For example, she comes home singing Spanish songs and talking to me about why she wants to visit Peru, Puerto Rico, Uruguay and the many other countries from where her teachers hail. She has learned how to write her letters and numbers and understands what they mean. She is constantly bringing home piles of projects she has completed at school. She gets a few sheets of homework once a week and is excited to do her homework! And I can barely keep her in the car in the mornings before we stop to park at the school because she is ready to jump out of the car to see her teachers and friends. The teachers are smart,warm, experienced and devoted to the kids. A teacher sends out a weekly email to the parents, which contains a newsletter describing what the children learned during the week and materials to review with the children. The school has been responsive to our requests and has accommodated our schedule. My daughter and my family love this school and we are so happy we found it. It is truly an extraordinary place, and I would recommend it to any parent who is considering putting his or her child here.

I love Salta! I enrolled my daughter two years ago and I can see how much she has improved. It's so wonderful that she actually corrects me with my Spanglish. When she first started she couldn't even count in Spanish and by the end of the fall program she was starting to count and started to lose her American accent. Hands down I recommend the Leap/Saturday Program. Also Summer Camp is one of my favorites. It allows her to improve her Spanish and I hope to continue to bring her every summer. Salta is like my second family and I am so grateful that I found this perfect school for my daughter!!

My two daughters have attended Jump since last summer, and we couldn't be happier with the school. First, they've both become bilingual at an amazing quick pace. Second, they're also learning the things they'd be learning at a monolingual school—science, math, social studies, language arts (in both languages). Third, they're receiving bicultural socialization at the same time, so they're also learning to be at home in Latino as well as Anglo-American environments. And the best thing of all, the teachers and other caregivers sincerely care about the students. My kids are always excited to go to school and they have a great time there. The community that Jump Immersion School has built is priceless.

Jump Immersion School has been such a wonderful find for our family. We moved back to the US with our young daughter after having lived in Spain for many years and we didn't want her to lose her Spanish. Jump welcomed my daughter with open arms, all the teachers and staff have always made her feel special and encouraged her language skills to flourish. She thoroughly enjoys attending preschool and I couldn't imagine sending her anywhere else. I recommend Jump to everyone who values the importance of multiculturalism and bilingualism

My son is thriving at Jump Immersion. He is in PK4 and learning at his pace, with the small group work. He is speaking Spanish very fluidly and is well on his way to mastering Spanish. On a social-emotional level, I notice that he is very self-confident in the school hallways; this is a testament to the nurturing and positive environment at the school. We get the best of both worlds at Jump--academic rigor and a "family" feel. As for my son, he loves the large yard for recess and has made strong friendships in just a few short months, with boys and girls. Jump, keep up the great work!
