Abstract

This chapter discusses the use of digital technology to engage families in early childhood education and care (ECEC) settings. The use of digital technology is widespread in ECEC settings and family contexts. The chapter discusses how digital technology can change the frequency and outreach of interactions between ECEC staff and family members, while shedding light on the challenges of doing so, to promote high-quality family and community engagement. The chapter offers some suggestions on how policy can help better prepare ECEC settings and staff to balance digital and face-to-face engagement of families for the benefit of the entire ECEC community.
