Managing Screen Time: Encouraging Active Play and Learning
At Kids Campus Preschool, we know that technology is everywhere—from the tablets used to stream cartoons to the smartphones parents use for quick entertainment during busy moments. Screens are part of our lives, but how much is too much? Finding the right balance is key to fostering healthy habits for your little ones.
Why Limit Screen Time?
We get it—screens can be lifesavers! Whether it’s keeping kids entertained during a car ride or helping them learn through educational apps, they do have their benefits. But too much screen time can impact sleep, physical activity, and even how kids interact with others. That’s why we focus on striking a balance, blending technology with plenty of active play and hands-on learning.
Making the Transition to Active Play
Shifting from screen time to active play doesn’t have to be a battle. Small changes can make a big difference:
Create a Screen-Free Zone: Designate areas like the dining table or playroom as screen-free spaces. This naturally encourages kids to explore toys, puzzles, or even simple pretend play.
Set Time Limits Together: Let your child help decide when screen time fits into their day. For example, they could enjoy a favorite show after outdoor play or a creative activity.
Offer Fun Alternatives: Kids are less likely to reach for a screen if there’s a stack of colorful building blocks, a pile of craft supplies, or a backyard full of adventure waiting for them!
Encouraging Learning Through Play
At Kids Campus, we inspire children to learn by doing. From exploring nature to solving puzzles and building with blocks, these activities not only spark imagination but also promote cognitive and social development. We love watching kids discover their abilities through trial, error, and plenty of giggles.
Active play doesn’t just happen during school hours. You can encourage the same excitement at home by trying fun activities like:
Obstacle courses: Use cushions, chairs, and blankets to create a fun indoor course.
Treasure hunts: Hide small objects around the house or yard for a mini-adventure.
DIY science experiments: A simple baking soda and vinegar volcano is a hit every time!
Partnering with Parents
We believe managing screen time is a team effort. At Kids Campus, we work with parents to create environments where kids thrive. Together, we can help your child enjoy a mix of screen time, active play, and creative learning opportunities.
