pre-school or kindergarten?

Preschools, or kindergartens? I'd be interested to know of any business
specs or case-studies on the use of plone in pre-school education. The email
below is the result of funding in Victoria, Australia.

Subject: IT for Preschools

> It has just been announced that VICNET is managing another community ICT
program, this time on behalf of the dept of human services, called "The
Information Technology (IT) Support for Preschools Project".
>
> The Bracks Government's Children First policy included $5million to
provide information technology support for community-based, not-for-profit
funded preschool programs in Victoria.  The IT support will include the
provision of computers, printers, and internet connections until June 2005.
It will also include introductory training for preschool staff and
executives of committees of management.
>
> VICNET is the entity which has been chosen to undertake the implementation
of this project on behalf of the department of human services, one reason
being because of our success in managing skills.net, egaps, mc2 and so on.

> Also because of our networks into communities across the state through the
wonderful skills.net projects out there.

> This program will roll out during 2004 and as it progresses we will be
encouraging the preschools to network with thier local skills.net projects
for the mutual benefit of the community.
>
> So i am just sending this email out to let all projects know. I am sure
many of you already have good links with the preschools in your area and
hopefully this will help to strengthen them.
