Artificial intelligence (AI) technology has been developing rapidly recently. High-quality early childhood education has become the key focus of preschool development in current educational reform, and the integration of AI technology can bring new opportunities for progress in teaching practice that traditional methods cannot achieve. We examine the practical situation of early childhood education. Also, we outline the key principles of how AI can be adapted in this field based on current research and practical requirements that teachers face every day when they try to use new technologies in their classrooms. We analyze the compatibility logic and selection criteria. At the same time, we examine how AI applications align with children’s physical and mental development in the education scenarios, which is very important for ensuring the teaching quality and safety in preschool education when technology is introduced to young learners. The study examines the value of AI for the physical education of young children. We propose some implementation strategies, such as optimizing AI application models, enhancing teacher competencies, strengthening full support for child development, and building a holistic support system that can work together to improve the overall effect of AI applications in preschools. These measures can support the deep integration of AI with early childhood education, overcome the limitations of traditional approaches, and drive the sector toward high-quality, personalized, and intelligent development that can meet the diverse needs of different children. It is worth noting that this can provide strong support for children’s holistic growth and well-being in the long term when the system is implemented and maintained by professional teachers.
