The period of the COVID-19 pandemic impacted education, especially on early childhood education aged 5-6 years. This study aims to determine the influence of pandemic situation on developing language aspects of children aged 5-6 years. Since spring 2020, parents have been working from home and children have been home from daycare and school. Parents are experiencing stress in an attempt to satisfy the demands of work, family, and COVID-19 concerns. Due to the fact that children have been home from daycare and school, parents have the sole responsibility of caring for and teaching their children until schools are able to fully and effectively meet the needs of educating students in an adapted format. This impacted different developmental areas of young children like social, cognitive language etc. Research provides a wealth of information regarding influence of COVID-19 pandemic on language development. Charnery et al. (2021) reported that the language development of children can be negatively affected and there may be language developmental delays due to the pandemic period. With this view present review study mainly focuses on the studies which revealed influence of COVID-19 pandemic on language development among preschool children.
