This study aims to observe and understand the growth and development process of learning movement in children aged 4-6 years. Early childhood is a golden period in children's motor, cognitive, social and emotional development. Through a qualitative approach, observations were made of several children by collecting data through interviews with parents and observations of children's physical and psychological development on an annual basis. Observations showed that motor skills such as walking, running, jumping, and favorite activities develop at various times, influenced by environmental factors, stimulation, and the child's personal character. In general, children show positive physical growth patterns and gross and fine motor development in line with their age. In addition, psychological aspects such as courage, curiosity, and socialization skills also increased significantly with age. These findings are expected to be the basis for designing appropriate movement stimulation programs for early childhood, both in the family and school environment.
