Abstract

Against the backdrop of digital transformation in education, this study focuses on the strategies and approaches for integrating digital technologies into preschool curricula and teaching, addressing questions such as “How can technology innovate curriculum design, implementation, and evaluation?” The study examines the significance of its application, analyzes the existing issues in the digital technology-enabled preschool curricula and teaching, and proposes three major strategies: In curriculum design, use big data to precisely set goals, expand content with digital resource libraries, and support the development of school-based curricula with collaborative tools; in the organization and implementation of teaching, optimize scenarios with AR/VR, transform interaction with smart teaching aids, innovate methods with gamified apps, and explore the integration path of technology and games; in curriculum evaluation, advocate the use of process data for dynamic evaluation, provide personalized support through intelligent tools, and build a home-school collaboration platform. The research emphasizes that the implementation of strategies requires the establishment of a comprehensive support system for enhancing the quality of preschool teachers, configuring software and hardware, establishing ethical norms and health management, etc., to provide a systematic strategic framework for the digital transformation of kindergartens and conduct forward-looking analysis of practical challenges.
