Animal Island Learning Adventure Sit & Play Is a Fresh Experience for Early Learning

The way toddlers learn is about to get an upgrade.

From DMAI, a leading developer of artificial intelligence (AI)-enabled education solutions, comes the Animal Island Learning Adventure (AILA) Sit & Play — an intelligent monitor and edutainment system geared toward families with toddlers. The all-in-one tablet and base comes pre-loaded ad-free content focusing on early preschool learning skills, STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts, mathematics), social-emotional learning (SEL), and 21st Century skills.

AILA Sit & Play is powered by cognitive AI that has the capacity to adapt its curriculum to suit each child’s level of engagement. Kids can learn at their own pace as they develop communication and collaboration skills with the characters on Animal Island. Parents and caretakers can track the lesson progress and screen time using the AILA companion app. Additionally, the Sit & Play functions as a phone-based monitor using the display’s onboard camera.

AILA Sit & Play will be available for pre-order in the United States starting Dec. 19.

DMAI is celebrating the launch with an open search for a “fun and bubbly baby and their family” to star in the company’s upcoming product commercial. The America’s Got Baby contest is underway through Dec. 18. Visit the AILA website for full details on how to submit!
