Abstract

This study looks at how digital tools affect early childhood education, how theoretical frameworks guide digital literacy practices, and how to balance digital and traditional literacy activities. The study concludes, based on a literature review, that interactive learning experiences and digital tools such as educational apps and tablets can enhance engagement and complement traditional methods. Though, well, circumstances are such that kids will get excessively dependent on technology, which could limit their opportunities for physical play and face-to-face interaction. Theoretical frameworks, such as constructivist and sociocultural perspectives, emphasize the need to integrate digital literacy in a balanced manner that supports comprehensive development. To provide students with a well-rounded educational experience, the study emphasizes integrating digital tools with traditional literacy activities. Access issues and cultural differences are also raised, highlighting the importance of context-sensitive approaches and further research. Overall, even though digital tools can improve early childhood education, they should be used alongside more conventional methods to ensure students receive a complete education and are treated equally.
