Abstract: This article analyzes the challenges and possibilities of integrating Digital Information and Communication Technologies (DICT) into Early Childhood Education, a stage recognized by the National Common Curricular Base (BNCC) as fundamental to the comprehensive development of children aged 0 to 5 years and 11 months. The study is bibliographic in nature, drawing on authors such as Silva, Almeida, Valente, Freire, Rivoir, Escuder, Apple, and others, in addition to the BNCC itself (2017), which organizes Early Childhood Education based on learning rights, fields of experience, and age groups. The text initially presents the structure of Early Childhood Education according to the BNCC, highlighting its role in building children's identity, autonomy, and multiple languages. It then discusses the presence of technologies in contemporary childhood, highlighting both their potential, such as the expansion of languages and child authorship, and their limitations, linked to digital exclusion and indiscriminate use. The BNCC's silence regarding the use of digital technologies in Early Childhood Education is also questioned, highlighting a regulatory gap that impacts pedagogical practice. In this context, the concept of web curriculum gains relevance, which proposes the critical and creative integration of curriculum and technologies, ensuring children's protagonism and participation. Finally, the challenges of teacher training and the need for investment in infrastructure and public policies that guarantee the conscious pedagogical use of DICT are discussed. The conclusion is that digital technologies, when used critically, creatively, and pedagogically mediated, can enrich the Early Childhood Education curriculum, without replacing play or face-to-face interactions, but expanding the possibilities for expression and learning. The greatest challenge lies in overcoming regulatory gaps, inequalities in access, and weaknesses in teacher training to ensure that the inclusion of DICT contributes to an inclusive, meaningful education aligned with the social demands of the 21st century.
