This research aims at developing an android-based mobile application to support the early childhood education teaching-learning process in preschools. Digital resources are essential in the changing landscape of early childhood education to support learning objectives and enhance literacy. This research investigates the how early children learning development within the educational system is affected by the ChildBook android application. Utilizing a mixed-methods approach, the study looks at the quantitative results and the qualitative information that preschool-aged children (3-5 years old) and teachers provided throughout the period of a school year. Quantitative tests compare individuals using the ChildBook app to those getting traditional literacy training by measuring phonics awareness, vocabulary acquisition, alphabet recognition, and reading comprehension skills before and after the intervention. Qualitative data which includes educator interviews and observations emphasizes opinions about the app effectiveness, level of engagement, and curricular integration. According to preliminary results, kids using the ChildBook app show significant improvements in vocabulary acquisition and phonetic understanding when compared to their control group peers. Additionally, qualitative data emphasizes educators' favorable feedback about the app ability to improve student engagement and support personalized learning experiences. Recommendations for effectively introducing educational technology into curricula for young children, encouraging collaborative learning environments, and supporting in the professional development of educators are among the effects for educational practice. This research contributes to the increasing body of research on digital literacy tools in early childhood education by providing insight on how they might improve traditional methods of instruction and enhance young students' development of learning skills.
