Founded in 1988 by the Sisters of St. Joseph of Rochester, NY, Daystar Kids is NY’s only Pediatric Respite Center supporting infants and children whose early learning has been disrupted by hospitalization and treatment for their complex health care conditions. Daystar’s coordinated continuum of intensive pediatric nursing, educational, developmental, and family support services position each child and their family for success from the moment they’re discharged from the hospital. Daystar's center-based, specialized early childhood programs and services provide equal access to children who are excluded from participating in other programs due to their health care needs, and promotes their development, advances their independence, and helps them enter kindergarten alongside their peers.

More than twenty years ago, four college students asked each other: What if we could offer children from under-resourced communities individualized attention before they enter kindergarten, giving them the critical academic and social skills—the ‘jumpstart’—they need to succeed? The idea took hold and today Jumpstart has trained more than 45,000 college students and community volunteers, preparing nearly 100,000 children for kindergarten success. Jumpstart’s program is replicated across the country in 14 states and the District of Columbia. We leverage partnerships with higher education institutions, community organizations, Head Start programs, community-based preschools, and school districts to create sustainable solutions in order to close the kindergarten readiness gap.
