Victoria State Government (2018) | The first five year of life of a child is very crucial for the development of the brain. The preschool experience helps in establishing the right foundation for social, emotional and cognitive learning. A quality preschool education provides a positive learning experience which is essential for the enhancing optimal brain development. |
Victoria State Government (2018) | Victorian Government provides access to early childhood education under the Fifteen Hour Programs per week before the start of going to school. Pre-school education and learning are helpful in a successful transition into school. |
Department of Education and Early Childhood Development, Victoria (2010) | The Acts and Regulations in Victoria ensure that the child in pre-school would be:
|

|
Baxter and Hand (2013) | The study summarised that it is crucial to ensure access to early childhood education in Australia. |
Noyce (2016) | The news has reported that the educators are of the view that young children need not be deprived of technology and the use of technology in the form of mobile learning, digital video and internet-based learning is now more of a piece of equipment in the pre-school. The educators support the idea of implementation of mobile and information technology in the pre-school since they believe that today’s children are already born into the digital age, therefore a positive disposition is needed. And accordingly, the teachers are also required to be digitally literate and technologically updated along with adequate knowledge, skills and experience to help the children learn in the digital age. Although the long-term impact of the touch-screen and mobile technology in classroom learning is not known yet[c]. Some educators have argued against the use of mobile technology and touch-screen technology in the pre-school on account of providing more real-world experience and not via screens. Lack of present-day researches in the field of use of technology in the pre-school creates ambiguity whether it really helps in learning or not. The child psychiatrists are of the view that the use of smart devices at school as well as home might result in the risk of overexposure. |
Edgar and Edgar (2008) | The study reports the use of computer and video games and classroom are being fundamentally different from the conventional methods of teaching. They are more based on challenges and rewards. Learning with the help of games offer important attributes such as clearing[d] goals, learning lessons, repeating until learnt, and tracking progress and achievement of each child in a fun way. The study also suggests that the use of digital technology in the classroom develop the following cognitive skills up to the age of eight:
The study further highlighted the use of media experience in the curriculum in the child care centres, preschools and primary schools. |
Pereira, Ramos and Marsh (2016) | The theoretical and empirical considerations in this study discuss the media competence amongst children of age between 3-5 years old. The results of the study indicate that children are already surrounded by the media at an early age. The survey of parents was conducted to identify the effect of media on the intellectual, emotional and social development. Children have started treating digital media and screen-based technology as their integral and natural part of their life. The study observed that a preschool child are perfectly able to unlock the smartphone by themselves, take pictures, browse the photo gallery, turn off the alarm, and play videos and music, access to games. But the pre-schoolers also throw a tantrum and start crying and screaming when they are denied giving of mobile or tablet thus, highlighting a somewhat aggressive behaviour. |
