Three (3) Modes of Learning and Curriculum
Broadcast Mode
The default mode of your AIL A Sit & Play. Broadcast mode plays
learning content continuously, supporting a spiraled learning
approach, by providing iterative exposure of key preschool concepts, following the scope and sequence of the early preschool
curriculum.
Learning Session Mode
When your child is ready to learn, start a Learning Session with
the AILA For Parents mobile app. The session will begin once the
current video finishes. This mode is at the hear t of your child’s personalized learning experience. Learning Sessions are stand-alone
instructional units running approximately 15 minutes, designed to
help build a child’s ability to pay attention. During learning sessions,
AIL A assesses your toddler’s level of engagement, determined by
physic al, emotional, and auditory reactions, and uses that input to
customize future sessions, delivering the right content at the right
time.
Lullaby Mode
In this mode, curated content is provided for quiet time.
Key Concepts
Each day (each session) is focused on a key c oncept such as
letters, numbers, colors, or shapes, and each week is built around a
theme. Each concept is introduced through a song and reinforced
with videos highlighting different characters and showcasing interactive play. Daily stories expand the learning of key concepts, social
emotional learning (SEL), and/or the theme of the week . Each video
is developed with an eye towards cultivating STEAM and the 4 Cs
of the 21st Century skills in a toddler-friendly format.
AIL A provides toddler s with repeated exposure to key concepts and
skills, which is not only important in terms of mastering the skills,
but AILA also takes the child’s preferences and learning styles into
consideration through its unique algorithm.
