Subject of this paper is Digital media and education. The aim is to investigate the impact of new media, or technology itself, on children of preschool age, considering that children at that age very quickly absorb the environment around them, and this includes the increasing use of technology. The creation of this paper is based on the collection and analysis of primary and secondary sources of data. Secondary sources of data were theoretical literature and an overview of research from Croatian and international sources. The primary sources of data were the results of research using interviews that were conducted in the Kindergarten "Olga Ban" Pazin. The research in this paper has shown that the majority of children have access to digital media, and that digital media represent an integral part of their growing up. Today's parents are aware of the variety of content on the Internet, which is why they control the content their children watch, in order to prevent potential negative effects on the child's growth and development.
