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. The French release has a completely different title screen from the US release. The French auto play screen uses completely different artwork for the characters and logo from the US version. Regional Differences French Release Auto Play Screen This file was not present in the original release, but is present in updated releases from around 2000. The file LH001.BAL contains several voice clips that were used for CJ and Edison in JumpStart 2nd Grade. The bell and one of the yellow flowers were also removed since these were changed to sprites that could be animated over top of the background in the final release. The tree furthest to the right received some tweaks to its shading/texture. KG001.RSC contains an unused variation of the school exterior background. Diaper Dash was a much better game if you want to play a daycare TM.The file SB001.RSC, which contains assets for the Scrapbook section of the game, contains another photo of staff, subtitled "Jump*Start Kindergarten Team". This happened over and over until I finally quit playing because it was too annoying. If my mouse clicks had registered the first time #or if I was able to carry two things at once), it would have been fine. By the time I'd done this, both babies were screaming because I took too long. Then I'd have to try again, making sure to put the baby down first, then get the bottle for the baby. So a lot of times, I ended up carrying the baby (when I intended to put him down#, walking to the bottle warmer and back without picking up the bottle because you can't carry a baby and a bottle at the same time. You can't carry two things at once, and often mouse clicks don't register, so you end up carrying the baby around and dashing around the room because the game didn't catch that you wanted to put the baby down first. Regret buying this I love time management games, and bought this when it was on sale.
