π±π A quick reassurance for our whΔnau ππ±
With all the recent conversations in the media around device use in Early Childhood Education, we wanted to take a moment to reassure our families about how technology is used here at Lollipops Aubrey Street.
Technology at our Centre is used primarily to capture and document tamariki learning, share their experiences with whΔnau, support music and movement activities, and occasionally for supervised online research when children are exploring topics of particular interest.
Our tamariki do not have free access to screens, tablets, or other devices during their time with us. We believe that the most valuable learning happens through play, exploration, creativity, social interactions, and meaningful relationships with their peers, teachers, and environment.
Our focus remains firmly on providing rich, hands-on learning experiences that support children's development, curiosity, and wellbeing.
As always, if you have any questions about our practices, please feel free to chat with our teaching team. π
