New York, New York - Aboveground Systems, LLC today is proud to present its flagship educational app, Preschool Funtime! for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch. First in a series of educational apps and games designed to stimulate while teaching, Preschool Funtime! is a collection of 9 different puzzle types, designed to teach while having fun. (Recommended ages 2-5)

Designed for unattended and unlimited play, each game flows right into the next, so no confusing user interface to deal with. Each puzzle has voice descriptions and each shape, animal, letter and number has an accompanying spoken description. Child is encouraged by a friendly voice at the end of each puzzle. Each puzzle is designed to highlight a specific learning area:

* Drag and Drop - teaches recognition of shapes and animals, and helps motor skills by having the child put the correct item in its place
* Pick the biggest or smallest - helps teach size differences, bigger and smaller
* Pick the right object - helps a child recognize different shapes and animals and what they are called
* Pick the right color object - teaches colors and color names
* Count the objects - begins the process of learning to count - The amounts of objects to be counted remains small so as to reinforce the basics
* Count the right amount - continues the previous lessons in counting by asking for a specific number of items to be counted.
* Pick the numbers in order - further reinforces how numbering works, and the order that the numbers are in. The numbers are kept low, and are scrambled to teach sequencing
* Starts with the letter - begins teaching letters by showing the same shapes and animals that the child is now used to, and highlights the letters of each to provide hints
* Match game - fun quiz to reinforce shapes and memory

Rewards every few screens with a fun "play with the blocks" area where they can add blocks, forms words, stack them up and even throw them around:

* Universal app, so download once, play on all your devices
