This study aimed to find out specific meaning of the relationship between young children's social interactions and multiculture. Two boys and two girls from two kindergarten classrooms had been observed for four months during free play sessions in the kindergarten and on the playground near home. Young children with the same ethnolinguistic background played together most frequently. The same ethnolinguistic background was the outlet which made young children with limited social interactions play actively. Also, the same ethnolinguistic background was a kind of support which could give young children with social conflicts mental secure. The teacher with children who have different cultural background needs to put the cultural difference into the curriculum for young children and direct young children to different social culture and society.
