Summary/Abstract: In the 21st century the internet and digital devices became essential in our everyday life. Due to this even children at younger age get in touch with cyberspace, which results we cannot ignore their online presence. In spite of this, there is still a little focus on pre-school aged children in reasearches done thus far. In 2010s we can see growing interest about the topic and investigations of children’s Internet use between the ages of 0-8. They have already ponited out the spread of smartphones and tablets increased this age group’s presence on the Internet and that’s why they also should be a target group in such researches. In my research I wanted to get a better view of the pre-school aged children’s online presence, usage and their knowledge about the Internet. For this I did accidental sampling and chose 120 children and their parents from pre-schools all around in Budapest. I used both qualitative (drawing, interview) and quantitative (questionnaire) methods in the interest of deeper understanding.
