Screen time for children in childcare should be limited and used thoughtfully. While some educational content can support learning, it’s important to prioritize active, hands-on play, social interactions, and physical activities that promote overall development.

Balancing screen time with real-world engagement is key to fostering a child’s cognitive, social, and emotional growth.

Early learning providers can create a serve and return environment by actively engaging with children through responsive interactions. This involves listening to the child’s cues, responding to their communication, and encouraging back-and-forth exchanges. For example, when a child points to something or asks a question, the provider should acknowledge and respond in a way that invites further interaction, fostering emotional connection and supporting language development.
