Artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly recognised as a transformative technology in education, with the potential to enhance early childhood education and drive national economic growth. This position paper emphasizes the importance of integrating artificial intelligence into Nigeria's early childhood education system to improve foundational learning outcomes, extend access, and prepare children for the digital future. The paper equally discussed the challenges of integrating digital technology into early childhood education. It concludes that strategic AI integration in early childhood education provides Nigeria with a roadmap to improve human capital, eliminate educational inequities, and accelerate socioeconomic growth. Policy recommendations include building a national AI-in-ECE framework, teacher training in digital pedagogy, pilot AI initiatives, culturally relevant tools, infrastructure investment, ongoing evaluation, and stakeholder involvement.
