Abstract	This contribution focuses on the connections between movement education, early childhood and gender. We argue that these connections should be investigated in future studies and, for example, be linked to current gender theoretical discourses. This is not only in order to productively introduce the findings for gender studies in sports science and movement education. Rather, the aim could also be to find out how the gender perspective can be productively introduced in the context of diversity-conscious movement education with and for children. Studies on the motor development of children often include gender data but usually understand gender as a normative category (Voss & Gramespacher, 2019). With the aim of achieving equal opportunities, we argue that gender perspectives should be integrated more tightly into early childhood movement education and thus expand and deepen our lines of argument (Gramespacher & Voss, 2019). In this contribution, we discuss the need for a stronger integration of gender perspectives in early childhood movement education and show that gender, as an integral part of the personality, is also an indispensable category in movement-related early education.
