Research shows that young children who struggle with social-emotional skills have difficulty succeeding both socially and academically. Our Early Learning Experts responded by creating a durable, interactive multi-touch table where children of varying cognitive levels can work together on fun and engaging activities.
The WePlaySmart solution encourages conversation between peers and the teacher, and helps bridge the language and vocabulary gap that is prevalent amongst young learners. During center time, video recording captures every moment of independent play for progress monitoring.
Reinforces over
5,000
vocabulary words.
By the age of three, children from low-income families have heard
30,000,000
fewer words than their more affluent peers.
Exposes over
66,000
spoken words.
WePlaySmart was intensively and intentionally developed to introduce games that support four core social-emotional skills: behavior, emotional, social competence and executive function skills. The solution also provides games that practice a variety of cognitive skills.

WePlaySmart by Hatch is designed for the early childhood classroom with sturdy construction, casters for mobility and a kid-friendly size and shape. The 10 point multi-touch surface captures the movements of little hands actively playing! Children are learning how to express their emotions at this technology center. The software gives them skills and the hardware is prepared for the process.
This solution also comes with an integrated recording and image capture system in the impact-resistant corner bezel, a keyboard, USB headphones for teachers and more. The keyboard with integrated trackpad stores away in a shelf under the table hidden from little hands. WePlaySmart’s speakers are designed to create an audio “bubble” around the table to keep all children focused during center time.

Additional Videos Taking Turns Uncover Voting SortingWhen children use WePlaySmart, the system captures intelligent, high-definition video footage of their interactions with a 180-degree, fish-eye lens. WePlaySmart automatically records this data (authentic language samples and visual evidence of children's interactions) to produce a more in-depth data sample. With these rich data samples, teachers can develop child assessments and create individualized, meaningful and impactful instruction.
WePlaySmart is designed to be used by two to four children, which allows the activities to encourage peer-to-peer interaction. The table’s surface is made for collaboration, and features designated child play stations on each side. Every WePlaySmart comes with over a year's worth of pre-installed activities and includes over 5,000 unique vocabulary words. The games also provide opportunities to develop math, literacy, social studies and science skills.
Our WePlaySmart solution is grounded in child development theory,
research findings and best practices for social-emotional development for early learners. All activities are
correlated with nationally-recognized early learning standards. The technology and curriculum materials meet
the highest standards, are developmentally appropriate for cognitive ages 3-6 and set the stage to support both
social-emotional and cognitive skill development.
