In childcare, screen time should be limited , when children are not given a screen time it delays intellectual and language development. Screen time should be used only intentionally, ensuring children’s primary experiences focus on play, hands on exploration, and face to face interaction

Early learning providers create a “serve and return” environment by attentively noticing and responding to children’s cues, whether through words, gestures, or play. When educators respond with warmth and intention, they show children that their ideas and feelings matter but also encourage deeper back and forth . These interactions strengthen language development, build social and emotional skills, and foster secure relationships, all while helping children feel confident and supported in exploring and expressing themselves.
