Education has changed in a big way since the IT revolution came to pass. I didn't really realize this until I saw preschoolers glued before their computers. Crayons and water-colors and clay and all that stuff isn't exactly passé, but computers are taking over in a big way as an educational medium. There are loads of excellent preschool software programs available in the market currently. There are creativity and productivity softwares that have been developed by child educational experts and child psychologists. There are programs that encourage creative activities like drawing and writing. There are games, often starring favorite comic or cartoon characters, that will teach your preschooler to use the mouse, recognize colors, shapes, and letters, read and type, and so on. There are games that foster better coordination and problem solving abilities and critical thinking skills. There are games that encourage imagination and exploration. There are games that are fun and appealing and at the same time are touted to make great inroads in the learning process. It is rather baffling actually the sheer diversity and variety in the educational material you can find.
