The aims of this study are to develop a multicultural program focusing on social class for the low-SES kindergarten and to explore the young children's relative responses. The research is a cooperative case study in which the university teacher and the kindergarten teacher work together. In addition, all data are collected through participant observation, interview, document gathering, and professional discussion; then they are further analyzed by Content Analysis method.
Based on Single-Group Studies Approach, the goals of the program conducted are to help children develop a positive self-identity of their social class, to construct proper cross-class literacy, and to develop the knowledge and skills required for taking initial social actions. Furthermore, class identity, class diversity, and breaking restrictions of classes are elements in curriculum introduced in this program through five aspects, including vocation, family life, gender, age, and ethnicity. The program is implemented through multiple teaching strategies. In the process, the teacher connects the curriculum to children’s personal experiences, and this connection makes the program meaningful. However, it is still a challenge to express well the values of multicultural classes without bringing possible culture-bullying. After the program completed, the children are found that they have learned to appreciate their economic life and become aware why the economically disadvantaged families get poor. Moreover, children are found with multiple and critical thinking improved. They also developed the knowledge, skills of helping the disadvantaged families and they are willing to help, too. In other words, children developed knowledge and skills required for taking initial social actions from the program.
