Whether it is in the form of physical abilities, public activities, assertiveness or self-help, the selection of movement activities must be uncomplicated and the environment must be adapted to generate interest  in participating in the activities and facilitate children to engage more in movement activities. This article therefore aims to present the importance of movement for the development of early childhood in children aged 4-6 years. The author has analyzed and synthesized related research papers, textbooks and academic documents both published both domestically and internationally for the benefits of early childhood teachers, physical education teachers, event organizers, parents, and people interested in the applications of movement for early childhood development.
