This chapter critically analyzes the key advantages and challenges of digitalizing the preschool education system (PES). It explores the potential of digitalization to enhance educational quality, student engagement, and teaching effectiveness, alongside significant obstacles such as infrastructure disparities, inadequate digital skills among educators, and deficiencies in strategic planning. The main objective is to provide concrete recommendations for effective and equitable digitalization of PES in the Uzbekistan context, synthesized from existing literature. Identified benefits include increased child engagement, personalized learning experiences, and the development of 21st-century skills, while challenges relate to the digital divide, the necessity for teacher professional development, and data security issues.References
