Currently, in the professional training of preschool education majors in private colleges, preschool physical education courses commonly suffer from problems such as content homogenization and insufficient psychological guidance, making it difficult to align with the requirement of "holistic development of body and mind" in the Physical Activity Guidelines for Preschool Children (3-6 Years Old). Based on the consistency between positive psychology and physical fitness courses in cultivating such qualities as self-confidence and resilience, this study adopts literature review, questionnaire survey, and interview methods to analyze key deficiencies in theoretical integration, teaching resources, and evaluation systems. The aim is to construct a curriculum integration framework centered on the dual-dimensional goals of "motor development and psychological qualities", incorporating the PERMA model and virtue theory. Additionally, it designs practical approaches such as contextualized games and dynamic feedback mechanisms, ultimately forming a replicable "physical education–psychology integration" curriculum model to provide innovative solutions for private universities.
