Motor activity throughout early childhood is essential for personality development, making scientific research in this domain highly significant. Preschool motor instruction establishes the foundation for naturally occurring sports and pre-sports programs while also providing essential skills for personal development, significantly enhancing consistent learning in both pre-sports and academic settings. Methodology: Four bibliographic databases—PubMed, Web of Science, Google Scholar, ProQuest—were used as flexible sources for the literature review in order to gather the data for our investigation past 10 years and published in English. Key words are used; “motor skills”, “physical exercise’, “preschool children (age 3-6)”, “role of adaptation”. Results: A total of 64 references identified during the initial screening were evaluated through a systematic approach, including 16 articles from PubMed, 34 articles from Cross Ref, 9 articles from Google Scholar, and 5 books. After a comprehensive evaluation, 21 of these sources met the criteria to be considered reliable for the topic at hand. During several stages of development, physical education and sports profoundly affect the physical and mental development of children, defining it from time to time. Conclusion: Employing a comparable training methodology on an expanded scale (i.e., with programs in diverse locations and a greater number of youngsters) may optimize their motor skills. Training will facilitate the development of children's motor skills, potentially resulting in the emergence of talents. Early talent identification is crucial to optimize the time available for the rapid development of fine and gross motor abilities. Children's motor skills will surely develop throughout time, becoming more robust, coordinated, and agile.
