ABSTRACT: Exploring the impact of early childhood education on technology adoption rates is crucial for understanding how early exposure influences technological acceptance. This study aimed to evaluate how early childhood education programs affect children's readiness to adopt new technologies. The objectives were to (1) assess improvements in technological literacy, (2) evaluate the role of technology-enhanced learning activities, and (3) examine changes in children's attitudes towards adopting new technologies. A survey design was employed to systematically collect data from participants. A purposive sample of 120 children aged 4-6 years, involved in technology-enhanced learning programs, was selected from an early childhood education center in Abuja. Findings revealed significant improvements in technological literacy, the effectiveness of technology-enhanced learning activities, and positive changes in children's attitudes towards adopting new technologies. The study recommended integrating more technology-based activities into early childhood curricula and providing training for educators to effectively teach these skills.
