description This article presents the responses of pre-primary teachers regarding the development of digital skills in preschoolers. A questionnaire was administered to gather their insights on effective methods for fostering these skills. In today's digital age, cultivating digital skills in children is increasingly important. The questions in the survey were meticulously crafted based on a thorough review of existing literature. Some sample questions from the questionnaire include: "How do you define the concept of digital ability?" and " Consider that the use of digital applications can effectively support the development of digital skills in preschoolers?" Additionally, teachers were asked, "What are the most effective strategies for enhancing digital skills in young children?". The importance of developing digital abilities through the use of digital applications cannot be overstated, as these skills provide significant advantages for future career opportunities. Integrating digital tools in early education not only engages young learners, but also prepares them for the technological demands of the future workplace. This study highlights that early childhood educators succeed in introducing and cultivating digital skills, thus laying a solid foundation for lifelong learning and adaptability in a digital world.
