I believe the time children spend in front of a screen should be limited and carefully supervised in daycare settings. While technology can be a valuable educational tool, it’s important to remember that young children learn best through direct interactions and sensory experiences. Outdoor activities, physical play, and social interactions are crucial for their emotional, social, and cognitive development. If technology is used, it should have a clear purpose, such as supporting language development or fostering creative skills, and always be monitored to ensure it doesn’t replace human interaction or active play.

I don’t allow screen time

[may]

important to regulate and maybe use more auditory internet than visual

[Lillian Mora Ruiz]

I thin some screen time is alright but to use it for teaching is not the way to go. Itll distract the kid and i fee like they would wat to use the screen time and not have time to learn.

[Milo Campbell]

I think it’s a good practice to not use screens at a childcare center, so the parents can have more control over their child’s screentime.

[Trainer]

Great insight, Milo! Balancing screen time at childcare allows parents to guide healthy tech habits effectively.

I use to think dcreen time was good as long as it was educational but now i know I was wrong.

<b data-start=”504″ data-end=”534″>1. <strong data-start=”511″ data-end=”532″>Limit Screen TimeFor children under age 2, the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommends <strong data-start=”613″ data-end=”631″>no screen time at all, except for video chatting with family or friends. For children ages 2-5, they suggest limiting screen time to <strong data-start=”750″ data-end=”770″>one hour per day, with high-quality, educational content. In childcare settings, this can be particularly important as children are still developing essential skills like language, motor development, and social-emotional learning.

[Josslynn register]

It’s best not to have any screen time at school/daycare. Enough screentime happens at home and eliminating it at school is the least we can do.

[Trainer]

Great point, Josslynn! Balancing screen time is crucial; prioritizing hands-on activities fosters social skills and creativity in children.

[Teri Barrie]

NO screen time!!!!! Doesn’t help at all. Play outside, play with family, read books build with blocks, play with dolls, dance with friends, be bored and best of all stare at a wall and talk to yourself!

[Trainer]

Great points, Teri! Engaging in active play and creative activities fosters essential skills and development in children.

[Meleia Peloquin]

Screen time is such a hard thing to stay away from in this day and age with all the access everywhere. For example TVs in restaurants or the dentist office. It is important to keep children away from it, they make kids television shows more addictive now where you feel like you need to watch the next episode. Whereas back in the day there wasn’t a lot of animation and each episode was an episode, you didn’t need to continue watching because that story was over. If and when you use it blippi and Ms. Rachel are my go to and my son actually interacts to what Ms. Rachel says.

[Trainer]

Great insights, Meleia! Balancing screen time is crucial, especially with engaging content. Interaction can enhance learning, though moderation is key.

[Ranijanaea West]

I honestl dont mind the screen time i feel its the way it is used. screen time cand count as stories over Alexa, music, and video books. we live in a time were tech is everything and things are always changing. if a child watches tv it should monitored and limited, that just my feeling toward screen time.

[Trainer]

Great insights, Ranijanaea! Balancing screen time with meaningful content and monitoring is essential for healthy development.

[Sherafym]

I think the less screen time for young children the better. Children learn more through play and real life interaction . While I do understand it is sometimes needed to get things done . I think it should be done in moderation.

[Trainer]

Sherafym, I appreciate your emphasis on play and real-life interactions; moderation in screen time is key for healthy development.

[Rebecca Otieno]

I think screen time should be very limited and supervised and the kids encouraged to interact more with the outside world ,socialize with their peers or have more outdoor play rather than screen time which helps their creativity and brain development.Screen time can be used as an incentive or for educational purposes if need be.

[Trainer]

Great insights, Rebecca! Balancing screen time with outdoor play fosters creativity and social skills in young children.

[Taryn]

I think screen time causes children to struggle with instant gratification, where they will have meltdowns when they don’t have access to screens and with more access to screen time, the meltdowns will be more frequent and intense. I don’t think it’s good for children, because having present and loving adults that interact with them is best for the child’s intellectual, emotional, and social development.

[Trainer]

Great insights, Taryn! Balancing screen time with meaningful interactions is crucial for holistic child development.
