About Us:

Jump Ahead Pediatrics is proud to offer various therapies other related services to both public, private, and charter schools throughout New Jersey, Maryland, and Florida. Founded over six years ago, Jump Ahead Pediatrics came to be after two therapy providers decided that students deserved better. Janki and Brittany were tired of seeing the same old practices implemented year after year with little attention paid to innovative solutions and out-of-the-box thinking. As a women-owned small business, Jump Ahead Pediatrics is absolutely committed to putting our school districts and their students first. We are currently providing exemplary service to numerous school districts through our expert evaluations, consultations, and individual treatments sessions.
