1. Philosophy and Guiding Principles

- The school recognises that technology is an integral part of 21st-century learning; however, its use must be purposeful, limited, and developmentally appropriate.

- Screen usage is not a substitute for active, hands-on, play-based learning, which remains the core of early childhood education.

- Digital tools are used only to enhance teaching-learning experiences, not for passive engagement or classroom management.

2. Core Objectives

- To ensure balanced, meaningful, and supervised use of digital screens.

- To support diverse learning needs (visual, auditory, kinesthetic, interpersonal, etc.).

- To promote active engagement rather than passive consumption.

- To protect children’s physical, emotional, and cognitive well-being.
