At Evolve Early Learning, we believe in harnessing technology as a tool for creation and
learning. Our approach centers on responsible and limited technology use to ensure a
balanced and enriching experience for our young learners. We prioritize active engagement
over passive screen time, allowing for less than 40 minutes per week dedicated to
purposeful activities such as movement and exercise videos, refreshing brain breaks,
stimulating inquiries, and inspirational content. It is important to keep in mind that these
experiences are integrated within active learning and play. Our technology integration
primarily consists of brief videos, typically under 3 minutes, that align with our ongoing
subjects of exploration. Occasionally, children express an interest in honing specific skills
like drawing or crafting, during which well-considered how-to videos can play a supportive
role in their mastery journey. Currently, we do not offer an opt-out option to avoid “othering”
children who may then feel left out and develop a stronger attachment to technology. We
would like to invite families to be thought partners with us. Please share your values about
technology use with your child’s teachers. At Evolve, our technology policy reflects our
commitment to fostering holistic development while embracing the benefits of thoughtful and
intentional technology incorporation.
As a member of this community I commit to working with Evolve staff and families to co-create a safe, supportive, and nurturing environment that will raise happy, healthy, life-ready kids.
