International Organization Helps Kids Better Understand Technology COMPUTERTOTS is the global leader in computer enrichment classes delivered at childcare centers and preschools. Children ages three to five discover the joy of learning by interacting with computers in a positive, enjoyable way. COMPUTER EXPLORERS provides exciting technology projects that reinforce classroom content. Children ages six to 12 learn word processing, make multi- media presentations and create databases in programs that integrate technology into their core curriculum. There are over 600 teachers in 32 states, plus classrooms abroad, who are teaching 25,000 children per week. "It is always wonderful to see the reaction of children when they master a skill," said franchisee Deb Evans of Medford, New Jersey. "To know that we've helped so many all these years is truly fulfilling." One of the most popular aspects of COMPUTERTOTS/COMPUTER EXPLORERS is a little green terrapin named CT. On March 17, fittingly St. Patrick's Day, CT celebrated his 20th birthday. Marshall says that she created CT (short for Computer Turtle) because the company needed an interactive puppet that young children could relate to which could serve as the liaison between classroom teachers and computers. Children feel comfortable with CT, who is an important communication link, especially when a teacher takes over a new class. "CT has brought joy to millions of children worldwide as they begin their journey using technology," said Marshall. Even though he just turned 20, CT will always be the proverbial age five -- sort of a Jack Benny figure for today's children. Since 1984, COMPUTERTOTS/COMPUTER EXPLORERS teachers have provided more than three million classes around the world. Other brands in the ICED family of franchises are Kwik Kopy Printing®, The Ink Well®, Franklin's® Printing, Copy Club®, Kwik Kopy® Business Centers, American Wholesale® Thermographers, Women's Health Boutique® and Parcel Plus®.
