The purpose of this study was to update the standards that can be used to understand the present status of preschool children’s motor ability and to evaluate them appropriately in the future with some additional information under special circumstances (e.g., coronavirus pandemic) after verification of the annual changes in the motor ability of preschool children during the three years before and during the coronavirus pandemic. From an examination of annual trends, it was found that there was no significant change in motor ability of preschool children during the pandemic, excluding flexibility, between the pre-pandemic period and the four years hence, including the three years of the pandemic. It was confirmed that it is possible to update the standards (consisting of seven items) of preschool children's motor ability using a relatively large sample (n = 3,412) even in a special environment by supports for measuring and evaluation at childcare facilities. In the future, it is expected to be used as a valuable standard for understanding and evaluating the characteristics of motor skills of preschool children who have experienced the coronavirus pandemic and reached an age where it can be measured.
