Three (3) modes of learning and curriculum
Broadcast Mode
The default mode of your AILA 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 heart 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, AILA assesses your toddler’s level of engagement,
determined by physical, 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 concept 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.
AILA provides toddlers 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.
Curriculum
The AILA Sit & Play curriculum focuses on supporting literacy, numeracy, and vocabulary
skills. Integrated with this core curriculum, the interactions with the onscreen characters
also support “soft skills” such as social-emotional skills, problem-solving skills,
communication, collaboration, creativity, and critical thinking.

personalizes future sessions based on your child’s level of engagement as
determined by physical, emotional, and auditory reactions.

minutes, the recommended amount of time for toddlers per day, follows our
scope and sequence while our cognitive AI algorithm personalizes subsequent
learning sessions.
You may stop a Learning Session by pressing the red square to return to the
default Broadcast mode. If a Learning Session is stopped, the session is not
recorded and a Learning Session Completed summary is not provided. To pause
a Learning Session, simply press the On/Off button once on the device. To
