I would like to see
1. For infants and toddlers, the use of visual media is prohibited.
2. For toddlers, media use up to two hours per day is permitted if the center operates more than six hours per day.
3. For children two and older, not more than a total of 30 minutes two hours per day, when content is not based on curriculum or educational content. All media use must be documented and shared with families.
4. All media provided by the center shall be limited to age appropriate programs and meet all the requirements in subsection A of this section.
D. Requirements in subdivision 3 of subsection C of this section do not apply to school-age children who attend educational programming that incorporates technology into curriculum learning activities.
