The first fiveyears of life is where essential development is at its most critical. Knowing this, the questionbecomes: How can engineers in the computer science field use their skills to help improve thistype of development for society’s most influential members and why is it important?Literature ReviewThe Children’s Center strives to provide the best early childhood education to those enrolled intheir program.

Adaptation to new modes of learning, followed by the "bouncingforward" of institutions resuming use of teaching frameworks ubiquitous to the pre-pandemicclassroom, requires one resource common to both individual and institutional inputs: the use andmanagement of time. The authors have previously observed that the different teaching methodsand technologies propagated in the 2020-2021 timeframe have shifted the in- and out-of-classroomtime necessary for learners to achieve markers of academic proficiency and wonder if a comparisonof where time commitments peak between faculty and cadet (student) samples over a mid-semesterspan of time may indicate a point
