Early childhood teachers must be prepared to teach children from diverse cultural background. The purposes of this study are(a) to explore the comprehensive multicultural awareness of kindergarten teachers,(b) to develop an preliminary multicultural education program for early childhood teachers(MEPECT), (c) to examine the effects of MEPECT on kindergarten teachers" multicultural awareness, and(d) to provide teachers, administrators, and teacher trainers with methods to increase teacher efficacy when working with culturally diverse children.

The results as follows. First, teachers had strong sensitivity toward issues of cultural pluralism in the classroom. Second, they showed relatively moderate level of multicultural efficacy. Third, they knew the basic concepts of multicultural concepts well. Fourth, they agreed with the goals of human relation centered multicultral education most strongly. Fifth, MEPECT based on data analysis of kindergarten teachers" multicultural awareness were designed. And 36 teachers were trained for 30 hours. Sixth, there were positive effects of MEPECT on kindergarten teachers" multicultural awareness. The teachers in the treatment group achieved statistically significant higher score in multicultual awareness. Children need to be a good citizen in multicultural society.
