Abstract

This study intends to explore the views of mothers regarding digital technology integration into Early Childhood Education (ECE) in West Bengal. Mothers’ perception has a significant impact on children’s early development. A descriptive study was conducted with 200 mothers from four districts of West Bengal using a three-point questionnaire. The study found that while mothers recognise the benefits of digital technology in ECE, they are concerned about its detrimental effects on young children. They also highlighted certain key responsibilities for Early Childhood Care and Education (ECCE) centres regarding integrating digital technologies into ECCE. Based on the findings, suggestions are offered for improving West Bengal’s ECCE system.
