We understand the pivotal role screen time plays in shaping children’s brains. Here are invaluable tips to help parents navigate the challenge of limiting screen time effectively.

• Establish Clear Boundaries

  One of the cornerstone principles at our infant center is the establishment of clear and consistent boundaries. Children thrive on routine, and setting specific time limits for screen activities creates a structured environment. At Montessori Kid’s Land Academy, we advocate for a balanced approach, encouraging parents to define dedicated time slots for educational screen use while emphasizing the importance of outdoor play and hands-on learning experiences.

• Promote Interactive Screen Activities

  Not all screen time is created equal. Choose educational apps and programs that engage children actively rather than passively consuming content. Our preschool and infant center in Redlands, California, emphasizes quality screen interactions that stimulate creativity and problem-solving. Look for apps that encourage exploration, critical thinking, and collaboration, ensuring that screen time becomes a valuable extension of their learning journey.

• Lead by Example

  Children often emulate the behavior they observe. At Montessori Kids Land Academy, we believe in the power of modeling. Parents and caregivers can positively influence children’s screen habits by demonstrating a healthy relationship with technology. Limit your own screen time, especially during family activities, and engage in meaningful, face-to-face interactions to foster strong connections.
