This bachelor's thesis aims to find out what seven working preschool teachers in Sweden experience as obstacles and opportunities in preschool activities for children's motor development today. Our thesis discusses the importance of integrating motor development skills and physical activity into preschool activities from working preschool teachers and also from upper management. The study’s goal is to identify obstacles and opportunities promoting children's motor development in preschools and understanding these challenges and possibilities from the teacher’s perspective. From our interviews with the preschool teachers, we have selected the most important and central responses and analyzed them using our chosen theory which is Frame Factor Theory. Our study resulted in a conversation about the learning environment, staff shortage and curriculum stress. Finally, we discuss the results in relation to our previous research. In summary, our study highlights how physical and organizational frameworks in preschool affect children's opportunity for motor development today.
