Kindergarten & Preschool Computer Software

Reinforce basic academic skills with computer software

Kindergarten and preschool computer software will entertain children for hours, while reinforcing basic pre-reading and math skills.

Software that encourages children to think, create, and communicate is a great investment, as long as time spent on the computer is balanced with time spent in physical activity, the arts and literature.

Some children in the class will always ask to use the computer and it may be necessary to post an easy to follow roster on the computer and to repeatedly teach about the need to take turns.
