Abstract	The educational system has been challenging children through competitive societal information-age education by promoting achievement among students, in preparing children for global excellence. This qualitative research case study of elementary school children's lack in cybersecurity knowledge and awareness served helpful with exploration into cybersecurity awareness phenomena in kindergarten-through-6th grade (K-6) education through gaining an understanding about children's need for awareness of cybersecurity from viewpoints of six elementary schoolteachers, six information technology (IT) experts, and four parents. The intent of this research was to explore perceptions of 15 elementary schoolteachers, five IT experts, and five parents of elementary school children about children's Internet safety measures and needs, in digital-age. This study's participants agreed with the necessity of monitoring children's internetworking, to direct attention on children's ever-increasing need to exercise awareness when playing and learning, depending on the age of children. Interviews of a stratified sample of subpopulations within an upstate New York school district helped to uncover common themes about children's vulnerability characteristics, in which triangulation of study participants' perspectives about children's present character, personal safety, research, and various educational opportunities in elementary schools helped this study's data saturation. The common themes of this study developed through interviews, directed attention to teaching children information safety practices and monitoring children's Internet activities, relative to the age and social development of children through continuing existing programs, which the school districts work with local communities to help to increase children's personal safety.
