Preschool Playtime is a deceivingly simple program to teach letter, digit, color
recognition, and counting to those youngest of Maccers‹that three-to-six aged
group. So simple anybody could program it‹NOT! A successful program for this
age group has to be utterly clean and absolutely responsive. It must require no
reading, no pulling down of menus, no constraint that the user stick to the front
window. Stray clicks can not cause bad or dangerous things to happen.
³Correct² clicks are encouraged by providing interesting sounds, bright colors,
and animations. That age old fascinator of human beings, the element of
chance, is also used. ³Incorrect² clicks are handled by gently guiding the
youngster to click the correct item. (All these goodies carry a price: they make
the stack BIG! There is no way around it. If your youngster can drive a
mouse, he (or she) can get hours of entertainment from this program at the same
time he is acquiring letter, digit, and counting skills. At $10 shareware it¹s a
bargain for you ‹ much cheaper, less hassle, and more educational than an
amusement park, and once you get your child started, it¹s hands off for you.
ALSO AVAILABLE IN SPANISH as Jardín de Niños (incl. Documentation in Spanish).
Documentation in Spanish is available for PreSchool Playtime on request.
