This research began with early childhood delays in mastering motor skills, this can be seen when learning is still observed or does not involve children in learning which has an impact on children's motor skills. This research aims to determine whether the motor skills of young children can be improved through the gymnastics approach compared to the conventional approach. The method used in this research was a quasi-experiment involving 12 girls in the experimental group and 12 girls in the control group. Data was obtained from motor skills and continued with descriptive data tests, normality tests, paired sample tests, and independent sample tests. The results of the research show that the 2-tailed sig value is <0.05, meaning that there is a significant difference between children who are given gymnastics lessons compared to conventional lessons. In the future, the gymnastics approach will be more effective to apply to early childhood to master motor skills.
