GuestApril 16, 2026 at 9:43 pmChildren are not offered screen time within our schools. With that being said, we ensure the children have 1.5 hours a day for outside playtime or physical activities. Many of the children bring lunch and snacks from home, we encourage family to choose healthy options, meeting the food groups.

GuestApril 17, 2026 at 7:16 pmYes, we have screen limits in our centers. The Early Head Start Centers do not have any screen time. The Head Start classrooms have limited time of just a few minutes per day and it is for scheduled learning activities.

GuestApril 21, 2026 at 6:18 pmThere is no screen time allowed at our childcare. We are asked to keep all music and technology to Alexa dots that have no screen. We are to keep our iPads up and away from kids. As much as possible avoid screen time at all costs.

GuestApril 27, 2026 at 6:39 pmWe don’t have any set rules, but we try not to use it too often, and only for educational purposes. Students do not have access to screens on their own. We have good morning songs played on the screen in the morning, as well as educational videos when necessary. When we are not able to go outside, we put on movement activities on the screen to keep the kids moving. The end of the day we have goodbye songs and put on a kids tv show – educational – while they wait to go home. Even then, it’s usually only on for less than ten minutes, most times even five.
