JumpStart Kindergarten is a grade-based JumpStart game developed by Fanfare Software and released by Knowledge Adventure in 1994. JumpStart Kindergarten was the first installment in the JumpStart series, as well as Knowledge Adventure's first curriculum-based product. It was also re-released by Davidson & Associates in 1998 under the name Davidson's Learning Center Series: Kindergarten. It was later replaced by an updated version, JumpStart Kindergarten (1998).

Gameplay

In the game, the player explores and plays in an interactive classroom, accessing educational activities, songs, and more. The kindergarten teacher is a rabbit named Mr. Hopsalot. Unusually for a JumpStart game, there is no clear "reward system" or defined set of goals. Like some other early entries in the series, it lacks a toolbar, and the progress report can be accessed by clicking on one on the wall. Most of the activities do not give the option to manually choose the difficulty level.
