This study examines the impact of ICT on early childhood education in China in terms of young children, teachers and kindergartens; the emergence of ICT was found to have impacted on the traditional educational model of early childhood education in China. Not only does it provide young children with more access to knowledge, but it also helps teachers to enrich classroom content and increase opportunities to communicate with parents. More importantly, it has effectively improved the efficiency of kindergarten and education administration management and has alleviated the lack of educational resources in many areas. However, the use of ICT still needs to be regulated to avoid negative effects on children's health and daily school life. The government can increase its policy and financial support for the promotion and implementation of ICT in early childhood education settings.
