Endless Fun: Creative Games, challenging activities and educational songs keep children
involved for hours and hours of learning fun.
Friendly Guide: Children giggle at Frankie’s frequent jokes and one-liners as he directs
them to new activities or ones in which they need more practice.
Continuous Challenge: The program automatically monitors successes and attempts and adjusts the
difficulty levels in each activity. Children stay challenged because the
levels match their abilities. They can also change the levels themselves.
This JumpStart innovation tracks up to 99 children.

change.

tools. Mix colors or draw freehand.
