Using the Play Time Report in Hatch Insights
Once Ignite is being used routinely, you can check Hatch Insights to see each child's play
time and get recommendations on which children may need more. Review this report at the
beginning of each week to help you plan for the week ahead.
Scheduling Playtime at Home
Families are busy! With so much going on in and out of the home, it can be hard to squeeze
in something new. Encourage families to work Ignite into their daily routine. This is even more
critical in distance learning scenarios, when children are unable to be in the classroom.
Setting a Routine
Children thrive on predictability because it provides a sense of control and comfort. That's why
structure helps children learn new things. Set a routine for when children play Ignite at home —
like after a nap or while dinner is being prepared — to help ensure continuous learning.
