I don’t think there should be screen time in child care centers, especially because they most likely get screen time at home. Plus this age it is so important to nurture social interactions and develop essential skills that will help them go through elementary school. Screen time can take away from that.

Screen time should be limited for the kids maybe to an hour we need to ensure they are growing up to adjust to the world where we do need them to have screen time but at the same time they do not get addicted to it. We need to help them grow into successful and happy individuals.

Screentime numbs the kids and should be only served in tiny amounts together with adults to explain and talk about what is going on the screen. Lets play and explore with the children the REAL world.

Scream Time on child center it is a controversial subject. I don’t think screen time is necessary for young kids, you can use different resources like music, for older kids maybe they could have some exposure to screen but for very limited time and definitely if use should be educational.

I think its important for kids to have screen time as long as its not for a long time. watching a short fim and having the kids explain what they watched is good for learning.

Screen time for young children can actually hinder growth & knowledge, attention span, ability to differentiate between reality & fantasy & affects cognitive skills

Screen time is difficult to handle. Screen time overall is negative to a child’s learning and developmental skills, but is enjoyable for the child or student. You can use screen time as a rewarding system for good or exceptional behavior, but should still be limited.

[Mosab tariq]

most children already have a lot of screen time at home. its better to use the childcare environment for exploring.

[Fernando]

I think that for the infants they should put on rhymes and music quietly. And for toddlers, preschoolers and school-agers they should be allowed 1 hour of screen time but should be watching educational videos.

[Claire Kim]

Screen time can be effective when done with heavy moderation and active engagement from a supervisor, such as watching and engaging with an educational program alongside the child. Using screen time as an idle way to constantly keep the child occupied, however, can impede development and skills such as attention, language, social skills, and patience.

I think interactive songs at a childcare facility are appropriate to use as long as it is no longer than 15 minutes a day.

[Kriselle Bantay]

My thoughts on screen time for children is that it can work well if not done in excess. It is important to give students breaks from screen time as they should also have the opportunity to work without it. There are many educational opportunities that are available thanks to technology nowadays that can make screen time a great tool for the classroom if done in moderation.

[Karent Kankanton]

It should not being aloud, unless it has an educational purpose, with a limit in time of no more than 15 minutes once a week.

[Jaci Peifer]

I don’t believe that screen time should be an option in the childcare setting. It doesn’t make sense to have it, unless for an educational purpose, like learning animal behavior, or dance along videos that promote action.

[Miriam Frazier]

I believe less screen time the better . The child should be able to play with toys or anything else and can keep occupied.
