In a kid’s culture that values documenting and sharing with parents, social media and instant messaging are widely used. Educators feel overloaded with the challenges posed by digital platforms, but contextual issues are relevant to finding ways for resistance and engagement in political actions to transform the edtech platforms’ dominance. Investigating the specific discourses and approaches to platformisation from early education professionals appears relevant to promoting not only awareness but also ways to rethink professional and political agency. Our preliminary study is based on 14 individual  \ninterviews and one group interview with educators in the Italian region of Veneto. The results of our thematic analysis indicate that achieving a balance between technology-based documentation and children’s privacy is not straightforward. Also, educators are calling for policies and further support for technology-driven services and activities that make thoughtful and conscious use of technology to avoid harming children. On these bases, we advance recommendations to deepen early childhood educators’ professional development requirements in a data-driven and postdigital society.  \nKeywords: platformisation; early childhood education and care; educators; documentation  \nDocumentación pedagógica en la era de las plataformas digitales: El profesionalismo delos educadores infantiles en un dilema  \nResumen: La denominada lógica de la dataficación y la plataformización, como modelo denegocio consolidado para la industria BigTech con aplicaciones a la educación (van Dijck et al. , 2018), también puede alcanzar (y afectar) a la educación y atención tempranas. En una cultura infantil que valora documentar y compartir con los padres, las redes sociales y la mensajería instantánea se utilizan ampliamente. Los educadores se sienten sobrecargados con los desafíos que plantean las plataformas digitales, pero las cuestiones contextuales son relevantes para encontrar formas de resistencia y compromiso en acciones políticas para transformar el dominiode las plataformas edtech. Investigar los discursos y enfoques específicos de la plataformizaciónpor parte de los profesionales de la educación infantil parece relevante para promover no sólo la concienciación, sino también formas de repensar la agencia profesional y política.
