The use of Information Communication Technologies (ICTs) in education has changed the way we teach and learn at all educational levels. In particular ICTs find new approaches to enhance students’ learning in preschool education.

The realization of the educational features of the web and online distance learning in preschool education is the main issue of this study. The aim is to investigate the possibility of creating computerized application software to be used for online distance education activities for Language Learning Goals and/or for speech and language therapy. The application may be used in formal and informal terms by preschool children.

The computerized application software of the online distance education system aims to adapt and personalize children’s language needs by placing them on the centre of the educational process. Children are playing the leading role by doing things in an interactive game-based environment.

This study took place in Greece, during 2008-2009. The results of the study concern a proposal for integrating online courses and educational activities for language in preschoolers. Specially, we adjust learning processes according to the children’s needs embedding the technological developments and the current needs of our society.
