In a digital age, how can you keep preschoolers safe online? It’s a time when children are increasingly exposed to online platforms. Moreover, ensuring their safety has become a paramount concern for parents and educators alike. Recognising this need, My First Skool has embarked on a groundbreaking initiative. And that’s in collaboration with TOUCH Community Services. Over the next two years, approximately 10,000 families of preschoolers will be equipped with practical tools to navigate the complexities of the digital realm and safeguard their children online.
The First Device Campaign Singapore
Central to this initiative is the First Device Campaign Singapore, a comprehensive effort aimed at providing families with resources and guidance to foster a safer online environment for young children. My First Skool, a renowned early childhood education provider, has taken a proactive stance by partnering with TOUCH Community Services to ensure the effective dissemination of these tools to all parents of its students.

Empowering Parents with Educational Resources
One of the cornerstones of this campaign is the distribution of educational materials that are specifically for preschoolers and their families. These resources include engaging cartoons designed to impart essential lessons on cyberbullying, online scams, and the importance of moderation in screen time. By presenting these crucial topics in a child-friendly manner, parents can initiate meaningful conversations with their children about digital safety.
