Tech is new Toy for Corporate Daycare

We know our employees love the on-site daycare program. It’s convenient, safe, and more importantly, it’s a part of parenthood that doesn't interfere with the workday. However, more companies recognize that corporate daycare shouldn't just be a babysitting service—it should provide an environment that helps children play and communicate better, as well as learn and grow.
 
As technology continues to be a pervasive part of how young children develop and interact with their world, corporate daycare professionals are considering best practices for introducing kids to technology that is both safe and educational. The VINCI Early Learning System
is a tablet that helps children learn intuitively through progressive content, including games, stories and music videos. This type of product can help supplement other activities and be a wonderful way to integrate technology into a company’s daycare setting.
 
D. Yang, Ph.D,
a working mother, originally created the VINCI tablet and content to satisfy her child’s curiosity with smart phones and provide a technology-based device that was safe and had an educational purpose.
 
The VINCI Early Learning System is an Android-based tablet and features a seven-inch touch screen, 3D animation technology, and comes preloaded with age-relevant content—with more available online and through the Android Marketplace. The VINCI tablet 
was designed specifically to be child-safe and is built with materials including tempered glass and FDA approved rubber handles—perfect for a toddler’s small hands. Additionally, the current models don’t offer WiFi in order to prevent children from wandering online and viewing inappropriate content.
 
Although children are being exposed to technology at earlier ages than ever before, Dr. Yang stresses that VINCI tablets aren’t intended to replace outdoor, or even other indoor activities. She recommends a maximum of 15 minutes of use per day for Level 1 content and 45 minutes per day for Level 3. So, while children continue to play with traditional games and toys while in daycare, VINCI is a great way to introduce children to technology that allows them to explore and learn in a safe and meaningful way.
