As the education sector fully enters the phase of digital development, teachers play a pivotal role in advancing the informatisation of preschool education. This study focuses on analysing the current status of preschool teachers' information technology application ability and the factors influencing it. Referencing the Standard for Information Technology Application Ability of Primary and Secondary School Teachers (Trial) and considering the specific characteristics of early childhood education, an assessment system suitable for preschool teachers was established. On this basis, a questionnaire survey was conducted with 555 preschool teachers. The research indicates that while preschool teachers generally meet the qualified standards for information technology application ability, there remains significant room for improvement. The ability of teachers to apply information technology is influenced by factors such as parental status, teaching experience, and professional title. Based on these findings, relevant recommendations are proposed to enhance preschool teachers' information technology application capabilities and promote the development of informatisation in preschool education.
