Digital Competence has not been included, until now, in the curriculum of the second cycle of Early Childhood Education (Kindergarten). However, in recent years, different studies and educational innovations have highlighted the potential that it has. The aim of this article is to know and analyze which aspects of Digital Competence can be developed, as well as to develop a proposal of achievement indicators by age. For this purpose, first a curricular analysis of Digital Competence has been carried out, and then 18 teachers, who are experts in the integration of technologies in the classroom from 3 to 6 years, have been consulted.
The results show that there are several elements of Digital Competence that can be integrated at this stage, having found greater agreement in the aspects related to knowledge of computer applications, development of curiosity about ICT, computational thinking, information management, using technological resources to solve problems and communicate. Aspects related to the management and the use of information critically were considered the most complicated aspect to work on at this stage, being elements that are incorporated progressively due to the students´ own maturity development.
