Preschool Technology: Less Screen, More Play

The Liberals propose an investigation into the use of digital tools in preschools and the development of new guidelines, advocating for screen-free environments as a rule, with exceptions for older children and clear pedagogical purposes, citing research on negative developmental impacts. The City Executive and other committees deem the motion addressed by the revised preschool curriculum, effective July 2025, which removes digital tool requirements, emphasizes analog tools, especially for younger children, and grants preschool teachers greater autonomy in tool selection based on scientific grounds and children's needs.
