My daughter is 3.5 years.  She plays educational games by Disney on
CDROM.  They only work on Windows.  They also have a website--use google
and look up Disney PlayHouse, and Nick Jr. There are computer games at
the main Carnegie library and Carnegie Science Center. You may also want
to check google for RoboCup Junior.

I have read that computers do not help in child development.  However,
they sure seem to enjoy playing with them.
