* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: As the first ever ''[=JumpStart=]'' game, the 1994 version has quite a bit of this. For one thing, there's no goal or storyline beyond the basic premise of playing educational games in a virtual classroom. And while [[PopUpVideoGames you can click around and make things happen]], the resulting animations are a bit more straightforward and less wildly surreal than in later entries.

''[=JumpStart=] Kindergarten'' was the first game produced in the ''VideoGame/JumpStart'' line of {{Edutainment Game}}s. Developed by Fanfare Software and distributed by [[Creator/JumpStartGames Knowledge Adventure]], it was released on November 14, 1994. Fanfare would be acquired by Knowledge Adventure soon afterwards.
This game established the formula that early entries in the ''[=JumpStart=]'' series would follow. That is to say, it takes place in an interactive classroom with various educational [[MiniGame Mini-Games]] and features an anthropomorphic animal as your ExpositionFairy. In this case, that animal is a rabbit teacher named Mr. Hopsalot. For some reason, Mr. Hopsalot's students are all humans.
In 1997, ''[=JumpStart=] Kindergarten'' became the first ''[=JumpStart=]'' game to receive a remake. The '97 version is mostly the same as the '94 version, just with updated graphics and some added content. A much more different version, ''[=JumpStart=] Advanced Kindergarten'', was released in 2002.

!!The 1994 and 1997 versions of this game provide examples of:
* AllThereInTheManual: The rabbit girl in the clock activity is not named in the game itself. As per the user's manual, her name is Bonnie Bunny.
* TheArtifact: In the 1994 version, the clock activity features a rabbit father who resembles Mr. Hopsalot. In the 1997 version, Mr. Hopsalot has an entirely different design, but the clock activity still portrays the rabbit father with the 1994 design for Mr. Hopsalot.
* TheCameo: In the 1997 version, the dog in "Doing What the Animals Do" is [[VideoGame/JumpStart1stGrade Frankie]].
* CulturalTranslation: The U.K. version, ''Jump Ahead Starting School'', makes some changes. Aside from [[SameLanguageDub redubbing the characters with British voices]], the most significant change is with the holidays represented in the bulletin board activity. In the song "Days of the Week," the narrator asks to play with a drum instead of a CD-ROM in order to keep the rhyme after "Mom" is changed to "Mum."
* DaysOfTheWeekSong: The 1997 version includes one, literally titled, "Days of the Week."
* DifficultyLevels: These don't exist in the original 1994 version, but they're added for the 1997 version.
* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: As the first ever ''[=JumpStart=]'' game, the 1994 version has quite a bit of this.

And while [[PopUpVideoGames you can click around and make things happen]], the resulting animations are a bit more straightforward and less wildly surreal than in later entries.
* EducationalSong: There are five of them in the 1994 version. The 1997 version retains the original five and adds three more.
* GameWithinAGame: "Pattern Blaster" is portrayed as an in-universe video game.
* HalfDressedCartoonAnimal: Roquefort wears a shirt without pants. In the 1997 version, he's joined by Jack, who wears pants without a shirt.
* HeliCritter: Mr. Hopsalot flies with his ears during the garden activity.
* MadLibsDialogue: Another ''[=JumpStart=]'' staple that got its start here: "Find the box that... matches the number... three."
* MatryoshkaObject: One game involves putting nesting dolls in order by height.
* OneManBand: In the 1997 version, the radio puppet show includes one.
* VideoGameRemake: The 1997 version, which features all the games and characters that were in the original. In addition to updated graphics, it adds two more games and three more songs. Also, while the original didn't have any sort of overall goal, this was changed for the 1997 version, in which your goal is to collect stars that will earn you visits to the petting zoo.
