%X This paper deals with media literacy as a multidimensional skill that parents and teachers possess. In this context we warn of the media-technical aspect of this skill and, within this aspect, of parentsĄŻ and teachersĄŻ opinion on the presence of media in childrenĄŻs lives. Following that, the paper explores teachersĄŻ media-didactic competence as a component of educatorsĄŻ media literacy. In the empiric part we used two aspects of fostering media literacy. One is the media-technical competence of parents and educators, while the other is the media-didactic competence of educators. We found that both parents and teachers believe that media have a strong presence in everyday lives of pre-school children and that they play an important role in teaching pre-school children. Teachers are aware of the importance of early teaching with media, for media and about media with the purpose of developing childrenĄŻs media literacy, so they will not be afraid of media when they grow up.
