Abstract The purpose of this study is to evaluate the current situation of movement education in registered kindergartens in Taipei. This study involves teachers' teaching experiences and opinions in private and public kindergartens. A questionnaire, "A Study of Movement Education in Public and Private Kindergartens of Taipei," was designed to study the field of movement education on the kindergarten level. 502 people, including kindergarten directors, principals, and teachers completed the questionnaire. The data was analyzed using frequency analysis, chi square and two-way ANOVA tests. The results of the survey indicate that: 1. Movement education is not emphasized in kindergarten education and imitation is still the main teaching method, indicating a lack of enlightening children's creativity. 2. Teachers are not given adequate training in movement education, and as a result, they experience difficulties in class. 3. Only 9.2% of the sample population think that there is adequate college-level curriculum available to teach creative movement. 4. Kindergarten teachers feel their greatest need is to improve their capacity to teach children's rhythmic activities and creative movement. 5. Kindergarten teachers should be encouraged to participate in training programs. 6. Most teachers understand that movement education enables children to express their feelings, to enlighten their intelligence, and to achieve body-mind coordination. 7. Both public and private kindergartens are prevented from teaching movement education because of a lack of teaching materials and adequate space. 8. This research discovered that creative movement education enriches children's rhythmic moving ability and helps them to express themselves, as well as to build self-confidence.
