Integrating antibias multicultural curriculum in
early childhood is essential. This calls for an
understanding of the components of a successful
multicultural curriculum. This book examined
multicultural curriculum issues in Early Childhood
in the Rocky Mountain Region, U.S.A. Specifically,
the program goals and philosophies and the extent to
which these goals and philosophies were implemented
were explored. In addition, the availability of

materials and the nature of parental and community
involvement was also examined. Based on this work,
recommendations are offered for curriculum

of aligning a program's philosophy and multicultural
curriculum goals with implementation of curriculum
activities regardless of race, gender, ethnic
heritage or cultural background is emphasized.
