What are the pieces I need to leave 10 PCs ready to be connected to the Internet under the same network?

Hello, I'm helping my grandpa out because he needs to build a computer lab for a kindergarten. He asked me if I could buy the PCs because I know that part pretty well, but then he also told me they asked him to connect them all together so they could be ready to be connected by the ISP.

Here's the trouble, the ISP supplies modems with 4 ports but there are 10 computers. What is the gear that I should buy and in what order should be connected so when the ISP guys get there they just have to plug in their cable? Thanks!

Talk to your grandpa to check local requirements about software which will control kids' access to the Internet. I am afraid that he will need special computer just for that, with appropriate software. The ISP-supplied router will be insufficient to do that.

Setting up the lab - make sure all the boxes and displays are firmly fixed to their tables, and there are no cables hanging behind. You cannot trust that kids won't stumble upon a cable laid on the floor.

Will do! My city is not that developed so you could say I'm pretty much the responsible for quality control of the lab. I'll have to be very careful with everything.
