I think it all depends on their method of instruction or curriculum. Most of the really good preschools don't allow screen time since it affects the child's development. Children learn more when they  have hands on interactive play. They also develop social/emotional skills and self regulation the more they interact with their teacher and peers.

That is a great question to ask, I feel like some PreK school or classrooms have the funding and some do have funding to use technology in there classroom. Specially in rural areas, some schools just can't afford it and other than some kids being able use technology, they would rather not use it at all if they can't let everyone use it.

I know our preK isn't allowed screen time. I believe is a rule of the ABC program, not necessarily our district or specific school. I teach 1st grade, so I am learning with your questions and find it interesting to read.

I think that it is completely dependent on the parents and the ability for funding for the preschool. I used to work at a developmental preschool and in the general classrooms, they were only allowed to use technology for special occasions. In the Autism specialty room where I taught, we were allowed to used technology for specific things. An Ipad for non-verbal students, and some expressive videos for sensory kids. Each preschool has to have a curriculum just like grade schools. The curriculum has to be approved by the DOE. If it is not up to standards, the school will lose funding. I suppose they consider technology for preschool aged children as not acceptable.

That is a very interesting question... I teach middle school so I didn't know that was an issue!
I can understand that they wouldn't want the small kids to be on a device constantly, but it would also be important to let them learn how to use devices properly.

I am currently a Head Start teacher, and we are not allowed to use technology in the classroom. Head Start is big on children being able to explore and learning from their environment. There are several different centers set up throughout the classroom, for example, dramatic play, science, and art. We are also constantly talking to the children and singing songs to help build language and also so the children know what is the next transition. It could also be an issue with licensing requirements as well.

As a Head Start teacher, we are not allowed to use screen time at any time during class hours. Head Start programs believe that young children learn best through play. When children are actually touching, building and exploring objects they are gaining cognitive skills. Physical, social and language skills are also obtained when children learn through play.

Hi LaToya! This is a great question. I work in early childhood but I am only in second grade. PreK is a whole different world. Maybe the reason some PreK programs do/ do not use technology has something to do with administration or funding??? I would be interested to know the reason behind each district's decision.
