Aim. The aim of this study is to present the presence of new media in the educational space of preschool children, taking into account the opportunities and threats to their development. ICT (Information and Communications Technology) is present not only in children’s family environments. Its use is recommended in preschool work programs in many countries, including Poland. These issues require reflection on pedagogical theory and practice, they also determine the directions of educational activities. Methods. Analysis of literature on the subject (scientific publications, research reports), selected ICT analysis. Results. Currently, the use of ICT by Polish preschool children is widespread. Two-thirds of the population do this, one in four every day, as they often already have their own mobile devices. New media is most often used for entertainment (watching movies, games, and activities). According to the surveyed parents, educational purposes are achieved through the use of applications such as: puzzle, memory, or applications that develop creativity. Two-thirds of parents declare that their children use mobile devices in their presence. Worryingly, however, just as often adults make them available to their offspring when they have to go about their own business, and some use it as a kind of reward for their daughter or son. In this context, it has become important to present the opportunities and threats to the development of children in educational cyberspace. The spheres of cognitive, physical, and motor development as well as social, and emotional development of a small person were taken into account. Conclusions. Knowledge about the conditions, possibilities, and effects of using new media by/with children aged 3-6 can be the basis for constructing appropriate solutions in the preschool education practice, as well as guidelines for parents. Based on the results of the selected ICTs analysis, the article presents the tools recommended by the author (including communication tools), websites, educational portals, and applications to be used in the educational space of such children.
