Carole Robertson Center for Learning - IAFC Community Partner

Description. 

Technology is a constant presence in children’s lives. In this digital world young children are familiar with the use of tablets, computers, and smartphones. While technology can promote learning and creativity, overuse can impact children’s physical health, social-emotional development, and attention spans. This training explores how technology affects young children’s growth and what strategies child care providers can use to create healthy digital habits. Participants will learn how to integrate technology meaningfully in early learning environments while supporting face-to-face interactions, imaginative play, and family partnerships. Together, we’ll discuss current research, share real-life experiences, and reflect on our own technology practices to create balance and connection for the children we serve.
