To answer the study, the researchers developed a question- naire to explore these questions.

The researchers verified both reliability and validity of the instrument.

A random sample of tills study included (43) kin- dergartens in Amman city, with (172) kindergarten teachers, during the second semester of the academic year (2007/2008).

The study tool was distributed to all the teachers in those kindergartens and (157) completed questionnaires were returned to the researchers.

The study findings indicated that there was a shortage in the availability of the hardware and the software in Amman kindergartens.

Kindergarten teachers, in Amman, use of information and com- munication technology was weak.
