This article systematizes the introduction process of technology inside two preschool classrooms, specifically, the use of a computer as an additional area inside the play and work time, in two children gardens community of Tres Ríos, Cartago. It details the proposals' origin and the developed process from the resource's self-management, given that the Costa Rican educational system lacks a general policy in the use of accessible technologies at the preschool level. All the data was gathered from interviews to principals and written forms to teachers, and also from observation to students' behavior when it came to using the technology inside their classroom. The possibilities and limitations noticed by teachers and staff, in addition to suggestions from people involved so this kind of projects can be possible and sustained over time were documented. Concluding, when there's a vision and will in common, starting from a leadership that coordinates the actions, design and development of a strategic plan that comes from the needs that must be resolved, it's possible to achieve projects, even when there's no direct support from political instances
