Do you allow it? If so how often ?

I'll confess. I do allow it, although only for school aged children during nap time (school vacations only). So it's more for volume control.
I'll have them read for an hour and then they're allowed an hour of television. Sometimes I'll allow movies for a treat, usually on the last day of vacation.

Nope. No TV here. I do NOT have a TV here at all.
Most providers will say "yes, but it's educational".
I don't provide TV or movies because I do not personally feel it is appropriate to do so.
My reasons have NOTHING to do with whether the programming content is educational or not.Comment

We watch a movie once every few months, nothing other than that.Comment

We watch some old Christmas movies during December..i.e. Rudolph, Santa Claus is Coming to Town, Frosty, etc. One of my themes during December is "Chillin Out". I like it because the children are extra excited during this time of year. We have the hot chocolate, popcorn, etc for extra special snacks...just something we have always done in December.

I do allow tv in my daycare. It is on when they arrive to help transistion to being here while I get lunch packed for my oldest and get him out the door and while I prep breakfast so about 40 minutes. I then use the tv again for 30 minutes while I make lunch. With not being able to go outside we have been doing a movie on Fridays. I try to only use it as a tool to help me get done what I need to do.Comment

no TV for littles. Now that said I had a school age kido (sibling) for a snow day. He use to be one of my littles and at naptime I let him slide in the living room to "nap" so his younger siblings wouldn't be distracted by him. He and my son watched cloudy with a chance of meatballs. then they did some building and books. It was nice for this little guy (7) to hang out with my 18 yr old. Guy time
But my littles, no unless if it is a very unusual day! (read as there is an emergency and my daughter has to step in as my sub and I am trying to distract so I can run out door before 2 yr old realizes I am gone)

I don't find nothing wrong, in allowing occasional TV! ...and Licensing doesn't either!I'll confess. I do allow it, although only for school aged children during nap time (school vacations only).

I have it on in the morning before breakfast (900). After that it goes on after lunch till we go drop of pre-K, about 15- 20 minutes.Comment

Movie afternoon on Fridays, complete with lights off, blankets and popcorn, sometimes candy. But those days are more for my benefit,
. On occasion, I may let them watch a little tv right before pickup, if they are getting too antsy. But that is becoming increasingly rare.

We mostly watch PBS. I let them watch TV the first 30 minutes of daycare, before breakfast. Then 15-30 minutes of TV while I make lunch. And then sometimes I let them the last 30 minutes of the day, depends on the kids and how the day went. Reg's say 2 hours tops per day.Comment
