The study conducted t verification, the categorical multiple response analysis and crosstab for data analysis. Results: The results of the study are as follows. First, teachers are more positive than pre-service teachers about the use of apps for early childhood education. However, both groups show that they can use the apps for early childhood education applications positively. Especially, it was perceived that the app for early childhood education will help children to learn and develop, and will help to maintain and promote self-directed learning and concentration.

On the other hand, pre-service teachers and kindergarten teachers have common problems in utilizing infant education apps, such as lack of technology of teachers' smart devices or apps, lack of ability of infants, smart devices and apps. Conclusion: These results suggest the following five conclusions. First, pre-service teachers will be provided with smart education related courses so that various theoretical and practical knowledge related to infant education app can be disseminated and for the kindergarten teachers, it is necessary to find various experiences and examples in the area of ​Nuri course, class activity, and class area to provide practical help. Second, thorough education about negative effects considering the specificity of early childhood education will be necessary rather than guiding effective teaching strategies about application of infant education app. Third, it is necessary to continuously carry out validation studies on expanding the five senses or developing infant education apps based on learning analytics. Finally, in order for apps for early childhood education to be effectively implemented in educational context, it is necessary to change perceptions of early childhood education field and change parents' perceptions through various policy research, teacher training and so on.
