Abstract
This study used census method research which focused on the assessment of technology integration in terms of least mastered domains. Likewise, teacher respondents identified preferred technology in teaching the aforementioned domains. It also identified the significant difference between the pre and post ECCD score and the teacher's proposed training program to integrate technology.

The study involved seven public schools in Caloocan North IV District namely: Bagbaguin Elementary School, Bagumbong Elementary School. Bagumbong Elementary School-Annex, Caybiga Elementary School, Deparo Elementary School, Llano Elementary School, and Sampaguita Elementary School.

The statistical tools used to treat the data were frequency, percentage, mean, standard deviation, t-test and ranking.

Findings of the study revealed that Self-help, Cognitive and Social- Emotional got the lowest scaled scores in Pre ECCD administration.

Another finding of the study revealed as regard to teachers' preferred technology. The top three that had the most preferred hardware technology were speaker. printer, and computer and laptop. On the other hand, educational websites, video clips, and digital story telling were the top three software technology.

Findings revealed that there is significant difference in the ECCD test before and after the integration of technology of Kindergarten pupils. Integrating technology in the classroom helped develop the ECCD domains. It was greatly observed that there has been an increasing emphasis on educating kindergarten children with the support of technology and thus this fact has reinforced the use of technology as a mean of overcoming barriers to their learning. Technology can support a child's skills as well as can create a developmental appropriate learning environment depending on their needs and the curriculum requirements.

Based on the findings of the study, it was recommended that the school should use technology effectively and for the welfare of the students, teachers, and society, it must be done. It is important that the technology shall not be seen only as a tool for fun and entertainment, but technology shall also be seen as a tool that is fit for work and a great aid for learning. Finally, the government has a lot of laws, orders, and standards released in helping the kindergarten teachers to maximize and utilize technology for the benefit of the learners. If those laws were applied strictly and properly, the utilization of technology integration would be maximizing in its full extent. The government should support teachers with training, curriculum resources, and accessibility contacts.
