Not for ages stated, boring as well 
2006-12-04
This says it's for age 1 1/2 but it's way to advanced for a child so young. My son will be 2 in 3 months he has no interest in this game at all. He really loves to move the mouse by himself and I wanted a game we could do together with him playing it under my supervision. My son is interested in the games daddy plays like World of Warcraft which he laughs at all the time and enjoys the graphics of daddy jumping on his wolf, but he won't even look at the screen with this Jumpstart game playing.
I expected it to be more visually stimulating for children so young but the graphics are horrid and boring.
The learning is for older kids who are 3 or older.
Not much content either for a $20 game, should be $10 at most.
The game was rather girly with little ducks and butterflys everywhere.
GREAT!

We bought this for our 3 year old, and she was able the pick up on it very quickly! It has helped prepare her for preschool tremendously! We are going to get her the Kindergarten one for Christmas this year.
This is a total waste 2006-06-09
For Christmas, I purchased this item for my two and half year old son, who is fairly advanced for his age. The program is reccomended for 2-4. I was totally disappointed in this product. Before you begin to use the product, the child is given an assessment test, which was fairly good. However, it gave you the illusion that the program would be like that, when it is not. Your child is scored and based on the score, the questions are supposed to be geared toward the skills that the child does not know or needs improvement on. First of all the programs were difficult to understand for most adults (my husband and I are both college educated). Both my husband and myself sat down with my son and could not figure out the concept of the games. My son was easily bored with the product and seemed disinterested. He seemed to prefer some of his other computer software, (School Zone(preschool) and Disney for Toddlers. I would tell anyone to invest their money in another software.
Great Product

Our 3 year old daughter loves this program! she had never used the computers before now. She has been playing it almost daily since Christmas.
My Little Boy Loves It 2008-01-17
My 2 1/2 year old has had the games for about 2 week now and he wants to play the "Ducky Game" (Toddler) all the time. I love it because I can go off and do the dishes while he plays it by himself with only a little bit of supervision. He has gotten so good at it I let him into the "Other Game" (Preschool) and I can't get him off. My only disappiontment is he mastered Toddler so fast he does get a bit bored with it and Preschool is somewhat to advanced for him to play completely by himself - he sure likes to try and he does not want Mommy's help even when he gets himself stuck. Which happens a lot with Preschool. Oh well... I am sure that before I know it he will master Preschool. I am going to wait for a long time before I try getting out the other 2 discs.
Decent features for our 2.5 yr old boy, but it crashes too often.

Typically unstable shovelware in the edutainment/education market. I wish this segment of the software market was better. I would be willing to pay more for a viable, useful software product. The engineering in these things always lags traditional games, and the technology (direct 3d, etc) is always many revs behind because their target market is running older PC's and OS's. Doesn't mean they can't improve their testing across the board.
More for younger kids 2007-05-14
This is very good for 3 or 4 year olds, is not as advanced as I thought it should be. Does a good job on shapes and colors, but doesn't really get into counting and letters as much as I expected.
Great Product for a child who loves the computer 2007-01-19
My son received this for Christmas (2 1/2 years old). He loves it. He gets into it by himself and manuevers through all the games without help. I love the ability to review what he is doing, and move him ahead if I feel he needs to. This is his favorite computer game of all...
