Abstract
The purpose of this study was to investigate pre-school teachers' knowledge
and attitude towards use of visual media in instructional delivery.
Descriptive research design and survey technique were used. Stratified

between trained and untrained pre-school teachers' knowledge and attitude.
The relationship between pre-school teachers' knowledge and use of
instructional delivery visual media was not significant, but the relationship

and use were positive and significant in Mathematics, Science, Social
Studies, Music and Movement and Art and Craft and specifically the overall.
It was concluded that pre-school teacher training was important and preschool
