Abstract

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has emerged as a transformative technology, reshaping educational landscapes across all levels, with particular significance in early childhood education. This paper examines current trends in AI integration, including adaptive learning platforms, intelligent tutoring systems, natural language processing tools that support language development, and proposes a comprehensive best practice framework for implementing AI in modern kindergarten classrooms. Drawing from extensive empirical research conducted between 2010–2025, this paper grounds the discussion in early-childhood pedagogy and provides a transparent, replicable methodology for AI implementation. The research emphasizes the importance of AI’s integration in early childhood education, which can foster foundational skills development while preparing young learners for an AI-integrated future through evidence-based practices that align with developmental theories of Piaget, Vygotsky, and Montessori.
