This study, in order to understand actual condition of Incheon’s localization of curriculum in kindergarten, surveyed 195 kindergarten teachers for actual conditions of localization in five regions each, and for their thoughts about curriculum localization. In the result, it appears that localized education at Incheon’s kindergarten is carried out at the frequency of below three times a term in general. And teachers are making too much of activities on‘ talking’and‘ inspection’. Teachers generally thought that localized curriculum is needed, and that localized curriculum will do a positive effect on establishing Regional identity. They also thought that the most difficult one in doing localized curriculum is "insufficient data and informations about Incheon" As a conclusion of these results, it is needed that localized curriculum in Incheon’s kindergartens should be carried out in more active and various way. In order to achieve this, it is suggested that, in advance, more data and informations about Incheon should be supplied to teachers. I expect that localization of curriculum in Incheon’s kindergarten to be carried out actively, and then to do some positive effects in establishing Regional identity of children when they grow up.
