Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
As soon as the bright pre-school train puffs its way out of the station, young children enter the magical world of Charlie the Cat and his friends.
Just move the mouse and Peter Polar bear starts swinging in a tree, Eleanor Elephant begins to skip and Charlie starts bouncing a ball. But the fun really starts when you go into the play school.
Here there are a whole host of educational activities to take part in. Cecil the Mouse clearly explains what is available and his instructions are easy to follow. If you click on the artist area, you can play an engaging game of numbers and all the time the friendly cartoon-like bear provides support and encouragement.
But the outstanding feature of Jump Ahead 2000: Preschool is the piano. Click on the piano and the rolls of music immediately unfold and the catchy songs begin. The quality of the singing is excellent and the words of the popular nursery rhymes appear at the same time--young children are guaranteed to love them.
This CD-ROM is full of incentives and you can even collect tickets if you do well to go on a special train ride. Packed with puzzles, high-quality songs and learning activities, this is probably one of the best examples of children's software aimed at this age group. -- Justin Hunt

Format:CD-ROM
My three year old likes playing some of the games on the preschool CD. The Toddlers CD never held his attention too much.
In its credit the graphics are beautfully done and the animation is smooth and well thought out.
Both I and my 3 years old find the constant 'speeches' highly annoying. Between each round of a game the character gives a long explaination, while this is happening you cannot advance. My son gets very frustrated clicking without a reaction. The speeches are very long as well.
Adults will be driven mad by the repetition of phrases and the high pitched voices! be warned!
Some of the games are good and my son loves them. The rest are pretty but boring. They should have put more effort into the games and less into the graphic design.

I have used the three CDs in this pack for two of my own children, and have taken them to a preschool to help other children learn computing skills.
JA toddlers is often useful for children older than the age range specified as it has some fun, simple games which help to develop mouse control. I often used it for 4 year-olds who had trouble in this area - the 'hide and seek' game rewards any movement of the mouse by revealing part of a picture, and children quickly learn to control the direction of the mouse to get a more accurate response. This CD in particular could be useful for children with special needs, eg who have difficulty with using their hands.
Once children have some control over the mouse, they can use the mouse to give a dog his toys - improving their steering without yet needing to click. When they want to practise clicking, there are several simple games which will work even if they click the right button instead of the left one, or if they hit the keyboard instead. JA Preschool and Nursery both require children to have reasonable mouse control and clicking skills, and focus more on the content - ie asking them to listen to instructions and follow them, recognise shapes and colours, etc..
I have used these programs with over 20 children and every single child enjoyed them, and was able to find something they could do, and build on their skills. My oldest, who is nearly 6, still enjoys playing the games on all three of these CDs!

This CD-Rom contains seven exciting activities for toddlers to explore. My two year old son has had so much fun and learnt so much from the different activities such as: co-ordination, shapes, matching, repeating words. There are lots of areas to explore within each section. Some of the sections can be operated with a keyboard (pressing any keys) others require mouse co-ordination. This program taught my son very quickly how to use a mouse. A brilliant, colourful and fun program for new and young computer users.
