Özet: The aim of this study was to investigate whether movement education program affects the motor development  children or not. Target population of the study was constituted of sportsmen between 4 and 6 years old who deal with sports in Turkey and the sample group included 40 students between 4 and 6 years old who take education in Hacı Sabancı Kindergarten School. Movement education programme was applied to the students for 12 weeks. Before and after 12-week period, child motor performance test (Morris et al., 1980) was applied to both control and experimental groups. For the evaluation of the data, SPSS 15.0 statistical software program was used. The data were summarized with their mean and standard deviation values. A significant difference was determined between post-test values of experimental and control groups participated in the research in terms of statistics (P<0.05). When pre-test and post-test of students in experimental group participated in the research were compared, it was determined that there was a statistically significant difference (P<0.05). In these comparisons, it was found that post-test values were higher than pre-test values. As a result, it was found in this research which was carried out to investigate motor development of children between 4-6 years old that education programme caused a significant difference in motor development children in experimental group. Consequently, it was determined that education programme positively affected motor development properties of children.
