Abstract: 
Digitalisation places new demands on the early childhood education and care (ECEC) workforce to
navigate the care and well-being of children in the digital age. This literature review examines
frameworks for digital competencies (DC) in education, with a focus on ECEC, as well as variation in
DC requirements for ECEC staff with different responsibilities. It explores strategies for a successful
integration of DC in ECEC workforce development programmes. The review shows there has been
limited research and policy support regarding the development of DC in ECEC and discusses the
importance for the ECEC workforce to understand how digital technologies may be incorporated to
their work, encompassing both technical aspects and responsible use, as well as the social and
collaborative dimensions of professional development in this area. The review examines also how
attitudes towards technology use with young children condition skills development in the sector.
