With the development of information and communication technology and its growing presence in everyday life, it brings with it changes in the educational system as well. In the Republic of Croatia, there is a curricular reform of the subject of informatics, which entails the introduction of informatics in primary schools. The subject Informatics is conducted as an elective subject in all levels of education except the fifth and sixth grade where it is conducted as a full-time course. From the school year 2020/2021 early learning of informatics from the first to the fourth grade of primary school is also introduced. The goal is to build a stimulating and open learning context close to today’s generations of children. This paper elaborates the reasons and needs for learning Informatics at an early age of pupils and the competencies that children must acquire. At the same time, a proposal for the operationalization of the early learning curriculum of Informatics is presented here. This can make it easier for teachers to plan, prepare and conduct their own lessons. Only by learning Informatics from early schooling is it possible to develop the correct attitude of pupils towards ICT, and thus the desired competencies of pupils.
