The purpose of this study was to examine how multi-cultural family kindergarten children adapt themselves to their environment and accept it. The subjects were 3 multi-cultural kindergarten children (3 girls), who were 4 to 5 years old attending a kindergarten attached to ‘A’ Elementary School, K province. The materials collected in this study were the observation notes, records of the children, their activity products and the interview logs. This material was integrated and some types were extracted by their conceptual characteristics. The results were interpreted after objectification. Results of this study were as follows: First, the children recognize themselves special and produce a peer group of their own. The multi-cultural family children wanted to be taken in a peer group, to play with them and to be protected in a group. They were influenced by the peer group. The peer group of multi-cultural family children gives some emotional safety net which lessens cultural stress. The peer group gets stronger by sharing same experience. Therefore the children tend not to escape from their peer group. Second, multi-cultural family children adapt themselves to the family environment different from other children’s. The children think that their grandparents take their sides and they were afraid of their mothers. Multi-cultural family children feel friendly towards their grandparents whereas they feel somewhat scared towards their mothers. They are proud of foreign language ability of their mothers and love their family. The mothers of the children have difficulties at communication because of different language but they also have advantages of having some opportunities to work as teachers at educational institutions. The better they adapt to the Korean culture and the more external supports they get, the more positive effects they can have on their children’s development. For the difficulties and possibilities of the mother’s roles, the harmony between grandparents’ roles and parents’ roles may give a solution.
