Abstract
  • Ninety-two percent of preschool teachers who completed an explorative survey by Brian et al. (2018) reported they did not lead any structured, teacher-led physical education or physical activity programs. This project focused on creating an eight-week motor skills program for preschoolers to increase age-appropriate, fundamental motor skills. This project was completed at Huntington University’s Fort Wayne Campus. An eight-week motor skills program for preschoolers titled “Little Bodies Big Moves” was created in an electronic binder format which included activity descriptions, the reasoning behind the activities, necessary materials, benefits of utilizing motor skills programs with preschoolers, typical developmental milestones for children ages 3-5 years old, and direct links to weekly activity videos on YouTube. Additional resources were posted to the social media marketing platform: a website, an Instagram page, and Teachers Pay Teachers account. In addition, this project involved creating a case study to consider occupational performance and motor skill development in early childhood. The Response to Intervention (RTI) model is recommended more often than traditional direct service models by OTs working with preschoolers (Jasmin et al., 2018). By implementing this motor skills program and the RTI model, teachers can focus on the increased success of all students. Occupational therapy practitioners can utilize the free electronic binder in the future to educate teachers and caregivers on the importance of fundamental motor skill development in early childhood.
