This study investigated the relationship between preschool teachers' digital literacy levels and digital citizenship levels. In this study conducted with the relational screening model, 282 teachers working as preschool teachers in public schools in the city center of Denizli in the 2023-2024 academic year were reached and data was collected with the selection of an easily accessible sample. In the study, the digital literacy levels of preschool teachers were generally high in both items and sub-dimensions, while they were found to be at a moderate level in the professional production dimension of the sub-dimensions. While it was observed that the participation levels of preschool teachers varied according to the items, it was found that the level of participation in the sub-dimensions was at a moderate level in the dimensions of political activism and network effectiveness on the internet, the level of general digital citizenship was high in the dimensions of local/global awareness and critical perspective, and the level of technical skills was very high. While the digital literacy levels of preschool teachers did not show a significant difference according to their education level and marital status, they showed a significant difference according to their gender, age, seniority, number of students in the class, digital literacy level, digital citizenship level, follow-up of digital platforms and use of web 2.0 tools. It was found that the digital citizenship levels of preschool teachers showed a significant difference according to their gender, age, seniority, number of students in the class, education level, marital status, follow-up of digital platforms and use of web 2.0 tools. In addition, it was found that the relationship between the digital literacy levels of preschool teachers and their digital citizenship levels was significant, moderate and positive. In light of the findings, it can be said that as the digital literacy levels of preschool teachers increase, their digital citizenship levels also increase, or as the digital literacy levels of preschool teachers decrease, their digital citizenship levels also decrease. As a result of the research, suggestions for new research that may be related to the subject were made.
