Ignite by Hatch™
An independent, purposeful practice digital learning experience for children across seven domains of learning with an emphasis on math, literacy, and social-emotional development. In a true whole child approach, children mean meaningful progress towards grade-level readiness through interactive play. Progress aligned to learning standards is automatically captured, giving educators real-time data without added paperwork. With family connections, Ignite also allows caregivers to support children’s learning at home.
Ignite by Hatch™ can be used on Hatch devices but is also compatible with devices your program already owns, giving you the flexibility to use existing technology. And with our HatchSync® connector, progress data integrates seamlessly with Teaching Strategies GOLD®, streamlining documentation and saving educators valuable time.

—Janie Smith, M.Ed.Head Start Education Coordinator, Caddo Community Action AgencyIgnite by Hatch™ is a wonderful learning tool! The children get their own personal experience at their own rate. As they master skills, Ignite moves them on, but if they're not able to, Ignite has guided practice that gives them the material with more practice until they are able to move on to the next level. Ignite doesn't just drop the children – I can go back a week later and that child has mastered that skill and moved up a level!
