Maybe Something Beautiful is about how people use art to make their community a better place to live. Today, more than 45,000 college students and community volunteers work for the group.

Four college students started Jumpstart more than 20 years ago. They work hard to make sure every kid starts kindergarten with everything they need to do well.

Jumpstart is a group of volunteers that helps children all over the country succeed in school. A group called Jumpstart organizes the event every year. The book-reading event is called Read for the Record. The book is written in English and Spanish. Volunteers read the book to kids in classrooms, libraries, and community centers.

It displays messages to the player (mostly words of encouragement) and could be used to quickly access the JumpStart website, among other things.A volunteer read Maybe Something Beautiful to her daughter’s Pre-K class in Orlando, Florida, for Jumpstart’s Read for the Record event. This release added a "SmartTools Toolbar" to the game, an additional feature which, by default, will always be present in the top right corner of the screen. In the US release, the sound effects and character dialogue always play over top of the background music, like you'd expect.Ĭirca 2000, this game was re-released as JumpStart Kindergarten Deluxe. The French release has an oddity in that, the majority of the time, when a sound effect plays or a character speaks, the background music will stop, and then restart once the sound/voice clip has finished playing.

The manual for the French release also makes no mention of a picnic area whatsoever, which seems to further indicate that it was removed. In the US release, clicking on the picnic basket in the backyard would take the player to a picnic area, but clicking on it in the French release does nothing. The picnic area seems to be completely absent from the French release. The Bulletin Board had nearly all of its images and music changed for the French release, mainly for the purpose of omitting holidays not celebrated in France, and in some cases replacing them with French holidays. The time display is also changed to use a 24 hour clock rather than a 12 hour clock. Rather than two green leaf designs near the bottom of the clock, there are three wood-colored designs in the top right and left corners and bottom left corner of the clock.Instead of two sun or moon designs (depending on the time of day) near the top of the clock, there is a single sun/moon design in the bottom right corner, and these designs are completely different from the original release.The Clock activity uses some different graphics for the decorations on the clock. Animations from the song sequences were changed.There are six buttons instead of eight, and the buttons for the four new songs added to the French release use different graphics. The buttons on the radio have different appearances in the French release.The two songs in the French release that are based on songs from the US release have different melodies and instruments, and are also shorter as well.Four of the songs in the French release are completely different from any songs in the US release: "La chanson des nombres", "Hé mouche", "Promenons-nous dans les bois", and "La cucaracha".

The number of songs that can be listened to was reduced from 8 to 6.The French release made numerous changes to the Radio activity, which allows the player to listen to various songs.
