Abstract
This study focuses on the development of young children’s “three-dimensional” motor skills and elaborates on the process, outcomes, and significance of the kindergarten-based curriculum development and implementation. Through methods such as literature review and experimental research, a kindergarten-based curriculum centered on “three-dimensional” motor skill development was constructed. The curriculum was tested through teaching practice and effectively promoted children’s motor development, providing valuable references for the development of early childhood physical education curricula.
