Jumpstart Preschool (Knowledge Adventure)
Hybrid CD-ROM
Ages 2-4

ComputED's tots find Jumpstart Preschool very easy to use, and lots of fun. They can learn their early ABC's and acquire skills for counting, color and shape recognition, mouse usage, logical thinking, sorting, and more, while participating in very motivating activities.
     The games are accessed by simply clicking on an object in the house: Children help the cook by counting and dragging items from the refrigerator (they love this); there are dot-to-dot activities which teach ABC's and numbers; collecting shapes and colors in the wagon; dressing up dolls by matching tops and bottoms of costumes; sorting toys by first letter sounds; music; more. When children complete activities, they earn tickets to go on a magical train ride. (Can be set to 3 levels.)
