thats hard there are some places here that offer nice computer for cheap prices, why doesnt your boss try to apply for a educational money grant.. it should help out the preschool with some money from the goverment if i am correct.

The best way is to recruit your parents... put up a sign asking for donations of computers. There is usually someone who is updating their computers at home, and since you can't "turn them in" for another computer, most people just get rid of them. The local library is a good place to check too... they often update their systems. Also check any retailers who have computers... video stores, cell phone stores, book stores, computer repair stores, office buildings (health centers, doc's offices) You can also ask local retailers (such as Walmart) for a donation. Walmart is a great resource because they have local donations that they like to do for the community they are in. You can also do a fundraiser to raise funds... get the parents together and figure out what type you would like to do. Often, if you offer a service for the donations, you will get a good turnout. Also, if you have a "hook", like your center serves children with special needs, or you have children who are from low income families, that sometimes helps get donations. Be creative... you don't have to just get money from your center- draw from the community resources around you!
Check with a local computer repair place, I know that several in our are accept donated working equipment that they then pass on to schools. If no one has this program try to convince them to start one!
