Abstract

The study examined digital natives and digitalization for building early childhood education future. The digital revolution has transformed the way children learn and interact, giving rise to a generation of digital natives. This paper explores the potential of digitalization to enhance early childhood education, highlighting benefits such as personalized learning, increased accessibility and improved engagement. However, challenges and limitation including equity and access, teacher training and digital literacy must be addressed. It was concluded that digital natives and digitalization have the potential to revolutionize early childhood education. By embracing technology and digital tools, educators can create personalized, engaging, and effective learning experiences for young children. It was also recommended that to build a strong early childhood education future, stakeholders such as parents, teachers, government and policy-makers should; integrate technology meaningfully into the curriculum, foster digital literacy in children and evaluate the impact of digitalization on learning outcomes.
