Fire Station
A pre-release promotional image that appeared on the JumpStart website circa 1996, which was also included in certain box art, depicts Pierre as the host of the Fire Station activity. Some additional website art also depicted Pierre with the same hat he wears in this pre-release image. However, Eleanor hosts this activity instead of Pierre in the final release. The star counter beneath the host's icon is also missing from the pre-release image.

Another pre-release image for the Fire Station appeared in a trailer for the game from KnowledgeLand circa fall 1996. In this image, there is no activity host or star counter pictured, the shadow beneath the firetruck is missing, and the blue cabinets look slightly different.

Additionally, the boxart for the game depicts the station with a purple roof instead of the in-game's blue roof.

Park
The image of the Park in the digital manual depicts differences for many parts of the background. The hills, trees and sky all have different appearances from the in-game version. The digital manual image also depicts a red bridge over a river within the Park, while this was removed in the final release. (However, the bridge and river can still be seen near the Park on the main town screen in the final release.)

Unused Kisha Design
An image from the game's digital manual depicts Kisha with the hat from her JumpStart Preschool (1995) appearance, while maintaining all other aspects of her Pre-K design. In the game, she never wears this hat. Instead she wears either a chef's hat, a server's hat, or a propeller beanie, depending on the activity.

Curtis Ratica Concept Art
Concept art by Curtis Ratica for the Pre-K Town, Construction Site, Diner, Fire Station and Airport contains differences from the final release.
