Why do we encourage to limit the use of small screen recreation in ECEC’s?

Limiting small screen time in Early Childhood Education and Care (ECEC) settings is crucial for promoting child health and wellbeing. By reducing screen time, children are encouraged to engage in more active play, supporting their physical health as well as fostering creativity and the development of social skills.

The Munch and Move program promotes physical activity, social interaction, and hands-on learning, allowing children opportunities to develop their coordination, communication, and problem-solving skills in meaningful and engaging ways. Limiting screen time ensures that children have ample opportunities to explore the world around them and build essential developmental skills.
