I sent my two daughters to this school. They were in pre-school 2.5 and 3. The first thing that made me feel something was wrong was the abnormally high teacher turnover (7 different teachers in less than a year). Granted this was during COVID but none of the other schools had such a high turnover. It was also messy, disorganized and their communication was horrible. I think could have lived with all that. However, my 3 year old came home with a black eye one day. She told me that "Ms Yin Li kicked her in the face with her foot because she was angry that she would not fall asleep during nap time". When I called the school the next day to ask what happened, the principal, owner and other staff, tried to give me 100 theories as to what could have happened to her (she must have bumped herself against the cot, she probably hit herself against the bench because kids fight for the red bench, it happened outside of school, etc) instead of focusing on what my child was saying, that the teacher kicked her because she wouldn't nap. I tried to have the school press charges against Yin Li, but she also had already resigned and they told me it was "too late" (maybe 5 weeks had passed since the incident) so I decided to file a complaint with the state's Department of Children and Families (which came back inconclusive but at least I reported and recorded the incident). Please don't send your kids to this place, there are other much better schools in the area. I met up with one of the parents a few weeks ago and about 80% of the kids moved on to other schools as well.

I was very anxious about sending our 2 yr old to an immersion school since we aren't a bilingual household, but I was pleasantly suprised when we noticed how easily she was adjusting by the end of the 1st week! She loves her teachers, her classmates and is excited to go to school everyday. As non-bilingual parents, we especially appreciate the learning resources attached to the weekly newsletters because it allows us to reinforce the lessons from the previous week and is also helpful for us to learn and engage with her in the target language. Jump! has provided us with an amazing opportunity to gift our daughter with another language and exposure to another culture that we otherwise wouldn't have been able to do at traditional daycare schools!

It has been a wonderful experience with Jump, where my son has been attending for a year. Jump has truly made this year an awesome one for him. Not only is it a language school, but it also embraces and celebrates diversity and different cultures, making it a truly enriching experience for the students.One aspect that stands out about Jump is its commitment to introducing students to various cultures and traditions. Throughout the school year, different country festivals are celebrated, allowing every student to learn and experience the vibrant customs and practices from around the world. This approach not only promotes cultural awareness but also fosters a sense of respect and appreciation for diversity.The teachers and staff at Jump are nothing short of exceptional. From the moment we step through the doors, we are greeted warmly by the director, who knows each student by name. This personalized touch creates a welcoming and inclusive environment, making both parents and children feel valued and cared for.The teachers themselves are incredibly friendly, professional, and full of energy. They go above and beyond to engage all the students in learning through the power of music and play. It's remarkable to witness how they effortlessly channel their enthusiasm into creating an enjoyable and interactive learning atmosphere. As a result, my son comes home every day, joyfully singing Mandarin songs he learned at school, which is a testament to the engaging teaching methods employed at Jump.I am grateful to the entire Jump team for their dedication and passion in shaping young minds.

I really don't like to leave bad reviews but I feel the need to warn others about this school. We had such a negative experience that we had to transfer out of the school mid-year. My child's teacher's style of classroom management was to threaten the kids and borderline verbally abuse them. For example, she called them "little pigs" and threatened to staple their mouths shut. When we complained to the director, some effort was made to the help the teacher be more kind to the children, but it didn't last. They are also are not at all conscientious about food allergies. My child ate something that she was allergic to because the teacher did not bother to check. She had an anaphylactic allergic response and had to beg the teacher to call us because she felt sick. We ended up having to take her the the emergency room for treatment. Total nightmare. Unfortunately, our experience at Jump was a total flop.

I have a 4 year old and 6 year old who have attended this school since 2.5. This school's academics are outstanding and the teachers care like family. They kept my daughter, who is particularly smart, challenged and engaged. She is fully reading (in two languages) after kindergarten and almost completely bilingual. They promote positive classroom ethics, leadership and the class sizes are small. They have school projects, performances, community gatherings etc for the kiddies and work tirelessly to improve. The bi-literacy was essential for my little ones but I never expected them to get a beyond top notch education. Jorge, the school's principal, dealt with an exhausting amount of special requests and medical concerns from our family and was more than accommodating. We are truely grateful for our experience at this school and highly recommend it to anyone looking for bilingual education.

The teachers and staff at Jump Immersion in Edison have GREATLY exceeded my expectations. I can give so many examples and stories about how the teachers and staff have impacted my children, my parents and I beyond our expectations.I contemplated for months whether to take my children out of a very good daycare and switch them to an immersion school. I met with the Jackie and she gave me such a warm, inviting welcome, that I was excited to see what the school had to offer. Jackie talked with so much love and passion about the school, program, staff, teachers and students, that I knew my children needed to be students themselves. Before school started in September, I met with my son's kindergarten teacher, Ms. Caroline, and again, she gave me that warm, caring welcome just as Jackie did. I explained that my son was brand new to the spanish language and I was concerned about how their curriculum would compare to other schools. Ms. Caroline demonstrated some of the lessons she had prepared and I felt confident that my son would do well. Later in the year, Ms Caroline had gained another teacher, Ms. Gabby, and they both observed that my son needed more fine motor skill development. Ms. Gabby created her own invention with screws and a wooden block to help my son with fine motor drills and every morning she showed up early to help my son for 30min before school even started. Again, this is one example of MANY that I could give about the teachers and staff at Jump Immersion in Edison. The each go above and beyond to teach kids not just reading, writing and arithmetic, but culture and mannerisms. I love that children are taught based on their own levels, if one child is kore advanced, they get the appropriate work level. On the other hand, if a child needs more attention, the teachers are right there ready to assist any way possible.This is an amazing school and program. Very pleased.

I cant say enough GOOD things about the school teachers and office staff ( Edison) . After looking everywhere for a school/daycare who will take my almost 3 years old daughter with Encopresis ( simple description of a kid who refuse to poop so its leaking all day which means several pooping diapers a day ) Jump accepted her welcome her with love and help her through the whole process ..not even once i got a complain from a teacher about changing diapers their dedication was beyond words at 4 years old my daughter finally was able to control her condition and up to then it was never a problem for them that she wasn’t potty trained yet .. I cant Thank Jump enough for all their help and patience ( you don’t find that kind of dedication anywhere these days) on top of that my daughter learned both languages ( english and spanish fluently) she was reading and writing in pre-k !! Now she is in Kindergarten and she is reading 2nd grade books in english as well as books in spanish . She write/read in both languages and her math skills are great . This school is not just your typical school its a family .. teachers make sure your kid is love , respected and most importantly they dedicate their time to make sure their learning experience at the center is excellent . Thank you Jump for giving my daughter the best 4 years of her life !!

My daughter loves Jump Immersion School. I personally absolutely love seeing the Performances during the holiday season and at the end of the school year. You really gain a sense of how much the children advance throughout the course of the year. I highly recommend this school to you parents out there.~RY

Our children have gone from no Spanish to completely fluent by attending Jump in Edison. And Ms. Gabriela does an excellent job bringing science and creativity into her kindergarten class lessons!

My son has been attending Jump for 2 years both Pre-K and Kindergarten. Our experience has been extremely positive. The personal attention and warmth the staff offers each child is evident. Our son is speaking and starting to read in Spanish. The teachers work with each student on life skills, math, Spanish, English and art. He loves school and the friendships he has developed and it is a community. The parents I have been with both years have all been extremely supportive and engaged and that adds to the incredible atmosphere. We drive 45 min.to bring him because we love the school and we see how much he has advanced in the language and social skills.

We are so happy with Jump Immersion! Our girls, 4 & 5 years old, have been in the school for 7 months. The girls absolutely love it! They've been open to learning their new language, embrace each day with confidence and so much joy! I truly believe their happiness and positive energy is a result of warm and caring teachers that surround them everyday. The teachers are attentive to each child during drop off and pick up. The staff are all so helpful and happy to be with our girls. We are very grateful to have joined Jump Immersion!Joining Jump Immersion has been a perfect fit for our family. We hope to see Jump Immersion continue to grow!

This school is amazing! Our 3 kids have been in the school for 2 years now and we absolutely love it! All the teachers are fantastic. Ms. Gabriela the kindergarten teacher is sweet with the kids and so organized in the classroom. She pays attention to the smallest details with each and every student. Ms. Claudia the pre-k3 teacher is super fun, sweet and amazing with our child in her classroom where they are learning so much everyday. The school director Ms. Duve is really accommodating and flexible with any parent concerns and/or questions. Overall, we are just really satisfied with the learning environment and experience that our children are receiving at Jump and grateful to all the teachers and staff that have made it possible. We would highly recommend it to any parent considering the program for their child.

Both my children have attended Jump Immersion School. One from Pre-K 2/3 thru Kindergarten and the other Pre-K 2/3 thru Pre-K 4. The compassionate and loving native Spanish speaking teachers are beyond what you would expect. They genuinely enjoy helping the children learn and become like extended family to them. Both my children are fluent Spanish speakers and I have recommended this school to anyone that have asked how my children are bilingual.
