The kindergarten curriculum has been rather flexible as compared with that of other level in our educational system, even if we have had some ideas on what would be taught in a kindergarten. The flexibility of the kindergarten curriculum has led to the flexibility or indeterminacy in various aspects of kindergarten education. Among such aspects is the utilization of educational media for kindergarten education. Use of instructional media is essential to kindergarten education. The flexible kindergarten curriculum provides large potentials to be made use of far better kindergarten education-the large potentials to be developed by kindergarten teachers and media specialists. Since the success of kindergarten education crucially depends on effective use of instructional media among other things, we propose that every kindergarten teacher should be some sort of media specialist for the best kindergarten curriculum or education. There are three competing theories on childhood curriculum and education. They are Behavioral Environmental Approach, Normative-Maturational Approach and Cognitive-Transactional Approach. The first two approaches are on the extreme end of the continum on this matter and the third approach is in the middle. Under the current state of educational theories, it seems best that our kindergarten education should tend toward the Normative-Maturational Approach, even though the extreme form of Normative-Maturational Approach may not desirable. Different approaches require different educational media and/or different use of them. Therefore, we can say that different educational principle or theory presupposes different educational media. Educational media not only help or improve but also shape or determine kindergarten education or curriculum. One of the progresses of our educational efforts in kindergarten in the future might turn out to be a back-and-forth interaction between educational media and our educational goals underlying the curriculum, in the sense that some of the new developments in educational media may influence our educational goals while our educational goals usually influence the use of educational media.
