Ai + Early Education – Lisam Junior Academy

Overview

At Lisam Junior Academy, we are experimenting with how simple, responsible AI tools can support teachers and staff in an early childhood education setting.

The focus is not on replacing teachers or adding screen time for children. Instead, AI is used behind the scenes to help educators work more efficiently, communicate more clearly, and spend more quality time with their students.

This initiative explores how AI can strengthen early education by supporting the people who care for and teach young children every day.

How AI Supports Teachers and Staff

AI at Lisam Junior Academy is used as a teaching assistant, helping educators prepare, explain, and plan more effectively.

Practical AI Use in Kindergarten Settings

Learning Material Creation

Generating age-appropriate worksheets, storytelling prompts, classroom activities, and creative learning ideas

Clear Health & Safety Communication

Explaining health topics—such as hygiene, nutrition, and daily habits—in simple, clear language suitable for parents and staff

Lesson Planning Support

Helping teachers organize lesson plans, align activities with learning goals, and reduce preparation time

Teacher
Productivity

Supporting note-taking, summaries, and planning so teachers can focus more on interaction and care

Why This Matters in Early Education

Kindergarten teachers carry a heavy workload that extends beyond classroom teaching. By using AI to support preparation and communication, we aim to:

Reduce administrative burden

Improve clarity and consistency in learning materials

Support teacher wellbeing

Increase time spent on direct child engagement

Long-Term Vision

The AI + Early Education initiative aims to:

Document best practices for AI use in kindergartens

Create simple guides for teachers and schools

Support low-resource education environments

Share learnings with other early education centers

Supporting Teachers. Strengthening Early Learning.

The AI + Early Education at Lisam Junior Academy project shows how thoughtful use of AI can help educators do
what they do best—teach, care, and inspire young learners.
