GuestJune 1, 2026 at 5:42 pmWith 16 children in one class, screen time is very limited and our pads are set to the child’s level and they cannot change to a different site.

GuestJune 1, 2026 at 7:59 pmThe childcare center I work at offers very little screen time. The screen time we do is typical music related videos such as the wiggles, coconelon, pinkfong, etc. usually used for less that 10 minutes a day and the kids are very active during this time doing the dance moves along with the video.

GuestJune 6, 2026 at 1:46 pmWe do not have i pads at our center. The only screen time they get is for movement activities, which I am ok with. I know from listening to my kids they get screen time at home.

GuestJune 10, 2026 at 12:16 amThere is an IPad for each classroom and we only turn it on when we are learning something for the week that pertains to theme and also for songs. It is used during down or transition times but, it is not used all the time in the classroom.

GuestJune 11, 2026 at 3:10 pmWe don’t have screens that our kids can use. Occasionally in the mornings when there’s only 1 or 2 kids we will watch some funny animal videos for about 15 minutes usually no more than 30 minutes.

GuestJune 25, 2026 at 5:02 pmWe have very limited screen time at our center. We got licensed to do little games in the preschool room for 20 minutes a day per child. We rarely do it, but sometimes we do occasionally.

GuestJune 26, 2026 at 8:29 pmWe dont allow screens unless it is a special treat. Even if we are listening to music on an iPad we turn the iPad away from the kids.
