Project overview 

Inspired by the Olympic Games, Morocco Preschool Olympics is a sport-based education programme designed for children aged 3 to 5 and the broader preschool ecosystem. The project promotes Olympic values such as respect, friendship, peace and excellence while supporting the national strategy for the generalisation of preschool education in Morocco. 
 
In a context where access to quality preschool education remains unequal, the programme integrates adapted physical activity into preschool curricula, reinforcing motor skills, social interaction and early learning. Morocco Preschool Olympics also serves as a platform to share TIBU Maroc’s expertise in education through sport with teachers, families and education stakeholders.
